What happened. Former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere warned Mikel Arteta he is not getting the most out of Viktor Gyokeres, who has played just 100 minutes across three appearances this season. David Raya also praised Bruno Guimaraes after his man-of-the-match display in a 2-0 win over Sunderland.

• Gyokeres joined from Sporting CP for an initial £55m, rising to £63.5m with add-ons.
• He was Arsenal's top scorer in 2025/26 with 21 goals in all competitions.
• Guimaraes scored one and helped set up another against Sunderland.

Arsenal travel to Brighton at the weekend looking to extend their winning start to the Premier League season.
