Arsenal are furious over the scheduling for crucial fixtures against Chelsea and Manchester United and have complained to the Premier League that "it's always" them.Mikel Arteta's side are firm favourites to qualify for the Champions League after silently creeping up the table - the Gunners have a one-point buffer over United in fifth with two games in hand. But the north Londoners are outraged at the Premier League's decision to schedule their fixture against Chelsea for April 20 - just three days before another crucial clash in the race for the top four.

Arsenal are reportedly readying talks with William Saliba over a new contract with the young centre-back excelling at Marseille whilst out on loan.Despite failing to make a first-team appearance for the Gunners, Saliba, 20, has thrived since making the move south, missing just two matches for The Pharoceans all season. Jorge Sampaoli's side sit second in the Ligue 1 table, behind league-leaders PSG, and look destined to qualify for the Champions League.As a result, Arsenal are keen to reward his performances with a new contract.

Arsenal have been branded a 'retirement home for Chelsea' after being linked with Eden Hazard. Hazard, who has struggled at Real Madrid since leaving the Premier League in 2019, is the subject of interest from the Gunners.

Arsenal remain confident Mikel Arteta will stay the club amid reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain.The Spaniard has overseen a remarkable resurgence from the Emirates side, who are now strong favourites to secure a top-four Premier League finish and a subsequent Champions League return. Despite sitting bottom the standings after three league matches this campaign, the Gunners have battled back, and are currently in fourth spot, a point above Manchester United with three games in hand.

Arsenal in the 2-0 win over Leicester, proving to club legend Martin Keown that he was wrong to criticise the playmaker after joining from Real Madrid.The Norwegian signed for the Gunners in January 2021 on an initial six-month loan deal before making a permanent move for around £35million in August.The 23-year-old was quietly impressive in his loan spell, scoring three goals and assisting two in his 16 appearances for the club. But after joining permanently, Odegaard has proved to be a hit with Mikel Arteta and has commanded the role as Arsenal’s chief creator, consigning Emile Smith Rowe to the bench.

Arsenal duo Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey have reaffirmed their confidence in clinching a top four finish, as they overtook Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification.

Mikel Arteta’s free-flowing Arsenal side roared back into the top four with an almost faultless display against Leicester City.Thomas Partey’s classy header and Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty saw the Gunners’ cruise past Brendan Rodgers’ side 2-0.It was a complete display from the confident Gunners who have now won five Premier League matches. But while there were many excellent aspects of the north Londoners’ performance, one cheeky moment from Ben White brought a smile to the faces of Arsenal fans.The incident came in the 73rd minute when Leicester, albeit huffing and puffing, were still in with a slight chance of turning the contest around.After Cedric Soares’ shot was blocked by Caglar Soyuncu, the ball fell kindly to James Maddison who instinctively looked to get his side up the pitch.In fact, the Englishman was one good pass away from triggering a two-on-one counterattack in the Foxes’ favour.And the former Norwich City ace’s pass would have been weighted to perfection if White had not already read the situation.

Arsene Wenger has shown just how much he still loves Arsenal as he analysed current Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.

Mikel Arteta has been told to ensure that Bukayo Saka doesn't leave Arsenal this summer by handing him the armband following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure.The England international has been in fine form in the Premier League this season - and will have dreams of playing in the Champions League next time out.Although the Gunners look well-placed to secure a top-four finish, there could well be interest in Saka from European giants as a result of his increasingly impressive performances.Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott has given his thoughts on the future of the 20-year-old, offering up some advice for his former Everton colleague Arteta.Speaking to LiveScore, Lescott said: "You need someone who is going to be playing every week, who can be accountable — and I think Bukayo Saka is that man."Though he’s still only young, he endured something in the summer with England that most wouldn’t face in their entire career."I think Mikel Arteta said it himself, that coming through that penalty miss has done wonders for his character and confidence and I think he’d relish that responsibility.Who should be Arsenal's next permanent captain? Give us your thoughts in the comments section"Also, from an Arsenal perspective, Saka is a player they have to keep hold of at all costs."He has aspirations to play in the Champions League next season, but by giving him the armband, I think he’d be far less likely to leave if they did miss out on the top four."He’s come through the ranks, he loves the club — he simply has to be a leading candidate."Joleon Lescott was speaking to LiveScore.

Mikel Arteta has ordered his Arsenal stars to live in the present as they step up their bid to grab fourth spot.The Gunners host Leicester this afternoon in pole position to do that - and qualify for the Champions League.

Arsenal are preparing for a major transfer overhaul this summer and are reportedly planning to bring in at least six players.The club are prioritising two new strikers and a midfielder, but have also set their sights on a new centre back, a right back and a left back.Following an unsuccessful approach for him in January, Arsenal are planning another move for Real Sociedad striker Aleksander Isak, while Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lille's Jonathan David also remain targets.It's understood the Gunners are big admirers of Chelsea's Armando Broja, who is currently on loan at Southampton, though they know doing business with their London rivals won't be easy.In midfield, the club is considering moves for Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz, Wolves' Ruben Neves and Leicester City star Youri Tielemans.Luiz and Tielemans will both have just a year left on their respective contracts at the end of the season, and neither are expected to sign an extension.As for defenders, Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence, who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, is believed to be high on the club's wish-list, but they're likely to face stiff competition for his signature from other Premier League sides, including arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.If Arsenal land all they targets they want in the summer, can they challenge for the title next season? Let us know what you think in the comments section...They remain open to the idea of bringing in a new centre back, but the return of William Saliba, who has impressed on loan with Marseille this season, means it's low on their list of priorities.Mikel Arteta's side are in pole position to finish in the top four this season after racking up four consecutive league victories, and are in with a

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has won the club's player of the month award for February - despite only giving himself a rating of 4/10 for his Gunners career so far. Partey, 28, joined the north Londoners in October 2020 following a £45million deal with Atletico Madrid but has struggled with consistency due to injuries.However, the Ghanian star has enjoyed a good run of games of late, forming a solid partnership with Granit Xhaka at the base of the midfield.

Arsenal stars are set to be rewarded with an eye-watering £500,000 bonus if Mikel Arteta ’s side are successful in their bid to finish in the Premier League top four this season. The Gunners stretched their winning run to four games with a 3-2 victory over Watford on Sunday to put them firmly on course for Champions League qualification.
