wontumionlineSportsArsenal, Thomas Partey

Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey is expected to feature for Arsenal in their English Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth this Saturday, October 19, after recovering from an injury concern. The experienced midfield enforcer was named in Ghana coach Otto Addo’s squad for the October international break but withdrew as a precautionary measure. The midfielder missed the Black Stars' goalless draw and 2-0 defeat against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, leaving Ghana in a precarious position as they fight to secure qualification for the tournament in Morocco next year. Thomas Partey’s absence was a significant blow to the…

wontumionlineSportsArsenal, Saka

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka says “this is the year” the Gunners will end their 21-year wait for a Premier League title. Mikel Arteta’s side have finished second behind Manchester City for the past two seasons and have not lifted the trophy since Arsene Wenger’s ‘invincibles’ side of 2003-04. They are currently third in the table, level on points with second-placed City and a point behind leaders Liverpool after six games. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on us but I do think that this is the year [Arsenal win the title],” Saka told CBS Sports. “I think we’ve…

Manchester City forward Bernardo Silva said only one team came to play football in their 2-2 Premier League draw with Arsenal, who were accused of employing “dark arts” at Etihad Stadium. But Gunners manager Mikel Arteta claimed it was “a miracle” his side came so close to victory after playing the second half with 10 men. John Stones’ 98th-minute equaliser denied Arsenal what would have been a huge victory over the defending champions. After winger Leandro Trossard was controversially sent off in first-half injury time, the Gunners had just 12.5% of possession in the second half. City had 28 shots…

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and his players could not hide their pain in the pouring Mancunian rain as a statement win they would rate higher than any other was snatched away at the death. The clock read 97 minutes and 14 seconds – those 14 seconds crucial to the chaotic conclusion – when John Stones rewarded Manchester City’s increasingly desperate efforts with an equaliser. City manager Pep Guardiola led celebrations that smacked of victory rather than a point claimed at the last, this in itself a testimony to tortuous experience this increasingly mature and steely Arsenal put them through. Arsenal…
