What’s the story Ahead of their trip to Anfield on Saturday, Arsenal manager Unai Emery has hinted about giving new signing Nicolas Pepe his first start in the Premier League. In case you didn’t know… Arsenal and Liverpool are the only teams in the Premier League yet to drop points after both of their opening matches. The Gunners enjoyed victories over Newcastle United and Burnley in their first two matches leaving them second in the Premier League table with Liverpool having a superior goal difference....

They came 5th in the Premier League, got kicked out of the FA Cup in the 4th Round, reached the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, and were runners-up in the Europa League. While these quasi-achievements may give an impression that the club is growing, Arsenal fans have not been pleased. That Arsenal got as far as they did was, in essence, the handiwork of the best strike-partners in the Premier League today....

The guy who started the rest of the games, who would probably be the coach’s first choice as the USMNT’s primary keeper, has left the world’s most powerful soccer league in order to play more regularly. But he hasn’t played well and also picked up an injury. Remember when goalkeeper was the one position you knew the Americans had covered whenever they arrived on the world stage? Yeah, it’s not like that any more....

Mikel Arteta’s side settled for a share of the spoils against the Magpies on Tuesday night (January 3). However, they were left outraged when Gabriel appeared to be thrown to the ground by Dan Burn in Newcastle’s penalty box in the dying embers of the game. Manager Mikel Arteta was seen ranting and raving on the touchline before clashing with Magpies boss Eddie Howe over the incident. Gabriel has since posted a video of the incident on Twitter with a telling emoticon caption:...

Wenger makes four changes from the 2-0 win over Southampton in midweek, handing opportunities to Hector Bellerin, Francis Coquelin, and Giroud, while Laurent Koscielny makes his return after a spell on the sidelines with a calf injury. Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck are dropped to the bench despite starting on Wednesday, while left-back Kieran Gibbs and versatile midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both reportedly absent due to hamstring problems. Arsenal XI: Cech; Holding, Mustafi, Koscielny; Bellerin, Coquelin, Xhaka, Monreal; Ozil, Sanchez; Giroud....

The 22-year-old joined the Gunners just over a couple of years ago, and while he was touted as a long-term replacement for some of the titanic figures in defence, Mavropanos has only managed nine appearances for the first team owing to groin and adductor muscle injuries and lack of preference. He’s behind quite a few first-team stars in the pecking order, leaving a host of clubs interested in securing his signature....

Arsenal are interested in a box-to-box midfielder as well as a defender. However, because of the nature of their finances, they are more inclined toward loan moves instead of permanent deals. The Gunners invested heavily in the summer, and the club believe that January deals do not represent the best value for money. However, Calum Chambers’ long-term injury means that Arteta is understaffed at the back. The club will be open to offers for Shkodran Mustafi once again, while youngster Konstantinos Mavropanos will most probably be sent on loan before the end of the month....

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are in excellent form having won their last five games, and they are currently in fourth place as they look to secure Champions League qualification for next season. Liverpool, meanwhile, are on a run of eight successive league victories and another win would see them close the gap on league leaders Manchester City to just one point. Here’s all of the information you need to know about how to watch what should be an entertaining encounter....

The then out of form midfielder was getting a lot of flak from impatient fans, especially when he was played on the wings. Wenger said, “Let’s not forget that one year ago people were saying to me, ‘it’s difficult to play him at the Emirates’,” said Wenger. The Welsh midfielder has had a flying start to this season where he has already scored 11 goals in all competitions (including Champions League playoffs)....

In Hopper icons such as the 1942 café scene “Nighthawks,” he was simply depicting a pre-cell-phone America in which there were still moments of silence. The 6-foot-5 former illustrator painted urban life with a sincere and guileless affection that Andy Warhol would later morph into irony and cleverness. True, a lot of Hopper’s light-drenched and comparatively cheerful oils and watercolors of New England houses are noticeably devoid of people, but that’s because Hopper’s tough sense of composition (you can almost hear the slamming of steel plates in those TV truck commercials) is so pared down to essentials that little figures would clutter it up....

Now Cape Town’s art establishment can’t take its eyes off them. Impressed by the enormous murals brightening large swaths of the city–many supporting causes like anti-retroviral drugs for AIDS patients or quitting smoking–gallery owners have begun inviting the graffiti artists to exhibit their work on canvases. The shows have become so popular that some of the artists can now make a living solely off their graffiti. Advertisers, corporations, political candidates–even private art collectors–are commissioning their work, sometimes for as much as 10,000 rand (about $900)....

Fourth-placed Chelsea – who suffered a last-gasp defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday – face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The Gunners have drawn their last two Premier League matches, having conceded late on against Sheffield United in their most recent outing. Arsenal also gave up a lead in their December meeting with the Blues, losing 2-1 following late goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham, and Arteta conceded his team are a work in progress....

The Catalans reached an agreement over a purchase option for the player in March this year, allowing them to sign him for a fee that could reach €39 million. It was expected Barca would wait until January 2019 to bring the midfielder to Camp Nou but there are claims they will speed up his move due to the departure of Andres Iniesta to Vissel Kobe. “He’s a footballer for whom we have a purchase option and, when the coaches believe he should come, we will execute this option,” president Josep Maria Bartomeu said this week....
