Form

Arsenal have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five Premier League matches. The defeat came against the side currently first in the table. The draw came against the side currently fourth, away from home. The three wins have been by one-goal margins.

In the Champions League, Arsenal have won two of their three matches. The single defeat was the opening match of the league phase, away from home. The two wins have been at home with a combined scoreline of 5-1.

Squad

The first-choice XI has been consistent across the last five Premier League matches. The only rotation has been in the left-back position, where the second-choice has started two of the last five matches. The captain has started every match. The centre-forward has started every match.

The squad for the next Premier League round includes 22 outfield players and three goalkeepers. The squad is fully fit, with the only doubt being the second-choice left-back who picked up a knock in the midweek cup match.

Confirmed fixtures

The next Premier League match is at home to Brighton, on Saturday, with kick-off at 15:00 BST. The match is followed by a midweek Champions League fixture away from home, then a Premier League match at home the following Saturday.

The full Premier League schedule for the rest of the month is confirmed: four matches, two at home and two away. The Champions League schedule has one more league-phase match before the knockout rounds begin.

Role-by-role watch list

The midfielder to watch is the right-sided number eight who has scored in two of the last five matches. The forward to watch is the centre-forward who has averaged 2.4 shots on target per match across the last five. The defender to watch is the left-back who has created the most chances from open play across the last five matches.

The goalkeeper has been the most consistent player in the side. The goalkeeper has saved at least three shots in every Premier League match this season. The save percentage is currently the highest of any goalkeeper in the league.
