Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that summer signing Eberechi Eze is finding it difficult to make an impact. The attacking midfielder, who joined the club from Crystal Palace last summer in a big money move, has struggled to make an impact at Arsenal this season. Since his hat-trick against Tottenham in the North London derby, the England international has failed to show his quality for Arteta's side.

The club confirmed that Odobert has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee. Odobert sustained the injury in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, which resulted in Thomas Frank's sacking. The Frenchman has made 24 appearances for Spurs this season, though has started just 10 of those matches. He has provided two assists from 20 chances created, having accumulated 1.2 expected assists (xA).

Jorgen Strand Larsen scored his first Palace goals to have the Eagles cruising at two goals ahead after 33 minutes, but Hannibal Mejbri, Jaidon Anthony, and a Jefferson Lerma own goal in a breathless seven-minute spell at the end of the first half earned the Clarets a first league win in 17. Norway striker Strand Larsen emphatically fired Palace ahead from Adam Wharton's clever dink, and doubled the lead when stooping low to meet Lerma's pinpoint cross.

Antoine Semenyo described his start to life at Manchester City as a "fairytale" after registering a goal and an assist to help them beat Fulham and cut Arsenal's lead at the Premier League summit. Semenyo reacted quickest when Matheus Nunes' hanging cross deflected off Sander Berge to prod in City's 24th-minute opener, then threaded in Nico O'Reilly to make it 2-0 six minutes later.

Sesko's deft finish in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time ensured Michael Carrick remains unbeaten across his two stints as United's interim boss, after a 1-1 draw. Timed at 95 minutes and 11 seconds, Sesko's strike was the latest result-altering goal West Ham have conceded in a home Premier League game on record (since 2006-07). After only scoring twice in his first 16 Premier League matches, Sesko has since netted four times in his last five outings in the competition.

When you hit on a run of transfers, it can change everything. Most of the great runs of the Premier League era were built around exactly that, and, predictably, some of the best teams in league history have been built with some of the best transfers. The opposite, however, is also true. The richest clubs in the Premier League have sometimes been able to overcome some poor decisions in the transfer market.

After an awful mistake from the 33m signing gifted Chelsea the opening goal in the game in January 2025, he was booked soon after and it was an uphill journey for him from that desperate start. Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville said he "felt like crying for the lad" after that game, and following City's Champions League defeat at Real Madrid the following month, ex-England goalkeeper Paul Robinson said, external Khusanov had been "like a rabbit in the headlights".
