Mikel Arteta has dropped his biggest hint yet about who he will be Arsenal's starting center forward between Gabriel Jesus & Viktor Gykeres.

Arsenal will be top of the Premier League at Christmas after three points at Everton took Mikel Arteta’s side back to the summit, even if they were far from their best.

Kai Havertz has been out of action for four months, with a knee injury, but the Germany forward looks to have taken a step closer towards his Arsenal return.

Mikel Arteta slammed Arsenal's display as "unacceptable" after a chaotic late win over bottom-placed Wolves, admitting his title-chasing side made life far harder than necessary before scraping a stoppage-time victory through a second own goal.

Mikel Arteta believes that Arsenal have reached “another level” this season thanks to improved depth and maturity within the squad as the Gunners target a first Premier League title in 22 years. But it will take even more to realise that ambition.

After the win over Everton, manager Mikel Arteta talked about how good and important midfielder Declan Rice is to this Arsenal side.

Arteta spent six years at Everton as a player but he rarely enjoyed his returns to Goodison Park. As Arsenal boss he won only once in five visits, that coming in 2023 when Leandro Trossard earned the Gunners a narrow 1-0 victory.

We made sure we remained top of the Premier League for Christmas with a 1-0 win over Everton, and you can watch the best of Mikel Arteta's reactions to game with Bench Cam. Viktor Gyokeres netted the only goal of the game, drilling home a first-half penalty after Toffees defender Jake O'Brien intercepted Declan Rice's corner with his hands.
