🔮 Carragher may have been taking a swipe at Graeme Souness as the former Liverpool player and manager has been extremely critical of Rice as a midfielder this season.
🔮 Speaking after the game, Iraola said he could understand why the apparent foul on the Dutchman was not given but insisted Timber should have been penalised for stopping Isak from getting a shot on target.
🔮 When he pulled him, it was just about enough as he would need to go down."
🔮 A statement via the Premier League website reads: “Despite being sent off for two bookable offences in Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and receiving an automatic one-match suspension, Cole Palmer will not miss any Premier League matches.
🔮 The 16-year-old sensation will now serve a three-match suspension after Arsenal’s appeal against his red card was dismissed by the Football Association (FA) on Thursday, meaning he will definitely not play any part against Liverpool as Arteta faces problems out wide.
🔮 However, Brighton’s hopes of avenging their Carabao Cup exit have been boosted after Hurzeler revealed that the trio are expected to be available for selection at the Etihad.
🔮 A booking at Anfield would move Arteta onto three yellow cards - which for managers guarantees a one-match suspension - so the Gunners boss would have to serve a touchline ban six days later at home to Hull in the final game before the November international break.
🔮 Fleetwood’s reward for beating Premier League champions Arsenal on Tuesday night is another home tie, though they will have to wait until Thursday to find out their opponents as Everton face Newcastle in the final fourth round clash.
🔮 Following the conclusion of the fourth-round ties, 16 teams will have become just eight as they discover who they will face off against in December to reach the two-legged semi-finals.
🔮 As Arsenal have key injuries in wide areas and now Dowman’s suspension has been added to the mix, supporters will be desperate for a positive update on Madueke before the Liverpool game.
