Arsenal vs Bournemouth Premier League preview: title race pressure as leaders host unbeaten visitors

Michael Price — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:17:53 +0000

Arsenal host Bournemouth knowing that victory would tighten their hold on the Premier League title race as the run-in shortens and margins at the top become thinner. Bournemouth arrive unbeaten in 11 league matches, yet the shape of that run, built on draws as much as wins, has kept them anchored in mid-table rather than pushing them toward the European places. Arsenal lead the table with 70 points from 31 matches, while Bournemouth sit 13th on 42, a gap that reflects the difference in consistency and control between the two sides. Even so, Bournemouth’s resilience complicates the picture. They are […]

Arsenal vs Manchester City match preview: Can Mikel Arteta’s side make their Wembley moment count?

Michael Price — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 09:00:25 +0000

Arsenal head to Wembley on Sunday with a chance to turn a strong season into silverware. This final carries weight beyond the trophy. It is a test of how far this team has come under Mikel Arteta. It is a chance to meet the strongest opponent in the country on a major stage and prove Arsenal can deliver when the margin for error disappears. That context matters. Arsenal sit clear of City in the Premier League table, and that gap changes the feel around this game. A win would not settle the title race, but it would strengthen Arsenal’s position […]

Mikel Arteta’s Evolution: How He Built a New Arsenal

Michael Price — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:45:26 +0000

Arsenal are no longer just improving under Mikel Arteta. They are winning matches in different ways, and that shift has changed how they are viewed. This is now a team that can dominate possession and control territory, but it is just as comfortable managing space without the ball, slowing games down, and deciding outcomes through pressure, duels, and set pieces. Over the course of a season, that range has become one of their defining strengths, and understanding how it emerged tells you far more about Arteta than the usual labels attached to him. He is still often described as a […]

Michael Price — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:51:51 +0000

Arsenal are through to the Champions League quarter-finals after a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen at the Emirates. This result carries weight. It confirms progress in Europe, keeps momentum intact ahead of Wembley, and shows how this team is handling the demands of multiple competitions. After the 1-1 draw in Germany, Arsenal still had work to do. Mikel Arteta’s side handled it with authority. Eberechi Eze gave the match its defining moment with a superb first-half strike. Declan Rice finished the job after the break. Between those goals, Arsenal pressed with purpose, stayed organized, and denied Leverkusen any real control. […]

Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen Match Preview: Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg Level at 1-1 with Quarter-Final Place at Stake

Michael Price — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:48:53 +0000

Arsenal host Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16 second leg at the Emirates with a quarter-final place at stake. The 1-1 draw in Germany leaves the tie level and places the responsibility on Mikel Arteta’s side to finish the job at home. Arsenal step into this second leg with control of the tie, but not comfort. This is now a match they are expected to win, not manage. The margin is thin. One mistake, one slow passage of play, one moment lost in transition, and the tie can turn. That is the reality of knockout football. Arsenal […]

Arsenal 2-0 Everton: Three Lessons from Arsenal’s Late Premier League Win at the Emirates

Michael Price — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:19:18 +0000

Arsenal controlled this Premier League match for long stretches. They still needed two goals in the final minutes to beat Everton 2-0 at the Emirates. The result matters in the context of the title race. Arsenal kept the pressure on their rivals and maintained their position at the top of the table. For most of the night the atmosphere felt tense rather than comfortable. Arsenal had the ball and Arsenal had the territory. Everton defended deep and waited for opportunities to break forward. The breakthrough refused to arrive until the closing stages. The decisive moments came late. Viktor Gyokeres scored […]

Arsenal vs Everton Premier League preview: Title leaders aim to extend run at Emirates

Michael Price — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:36:40 +0000

Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League with the title race tightening and little room for mistakes. Mikel Arteta’s side lead the table with 67 points from 30 matches, seven clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand. That lead looks strong on paper. It offers little comfort. Arsenal must keep winning. The 1-0 result at Brighton last time out delivered another valuable three points and stretched Arsenal’s unbeaten league run to seven matches. It settled nothing. It kept them in front. Everton arrive in north London with enough form and structure to […]

Bayer Leverkusen 1–1 Arsenal: Three Things We Learned from the Champions League Round of 16 First Leg

Michael Price — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 12:57:42 +0000

Arsenal left the BayArena with a 1–1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, a result that leaves the contest finely balanced ahead of next week’s second leg at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz’s late penalty cancelled out Robert Andrich’s early second-half header and ensured Arsenal return to London level in the tie. For Arsenal, that outcome matters. Away legs in the Champions League knockout stages rarely produce comfortable matches, and this one followed that familiar pattern. Arsenal controlled much of the territory and created the higher-quality chances across the night, […]

Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen: Champions League round of 16 first leg preview

Michael Price — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:08:21 +0000

Arsenal travel to Leverkusen for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, with the chance to take control before the return match in London. Mikel Arteta’s side arrive after a perfect league phase, eight wins from eight, and they have yet to trail in this season’s competition. That record reflects control, defensive discipline and a habit of taking hold of games early. This will still test them. Bayer Leverkusen have had an uneven domestic season and sit sixth in the Bundesliga, but their home record in Europe deserves respect. They have lost only two of their […]

Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea: Premier League Match Review as Gunners Maintain Five-Point Lead

Michael Price — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:05:55 +0000

Arsenal maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, responding immediately to Manchester City’s win and keeping control of the title race. All three goals came from corners in a match shaped less by open-play fluency and more by marginal gains inside the penalty area. Arsenal controlled long stretches, lost that control briefly, then reclaimed it. The closing stages were tense rather than serene, but the outcome was decisive. At this stage of the season, the question is not how polished the performance looks. The question is […]
