Story summary

On September 19, Arsenal faced Brighton at the Amex Stadium in Brighton for a Premier League match. Despite arriving on the back of seven consecutive wins, Arsenal suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Brighton, their first loss by a three-goal margin in over three years. Key defensive issues plagued Arsenal; players like Jurrien Timber and Ezri Konsa were particularly poor, allowing Brighton's attackers time and space to score from distance. Mikel Arteta’s team struggled with Brighton's pressing game, often failing to mark key opponents effectively. The loss brings into question the sustainability of Arsenal's recent form, especially their defensive solidity, as they face a challenging period ahead with upcoming international breaks.

🔮 Bernardo Silva and Martin Odegaard could provide an interesting sub-plot to today’s Nations League clash between Portugal and Norway.
🔮 However, with Palmer withdrawing from the England squad and Joao Pedro receiving treatment from a specialist for a knee injury, there could be an opening for Estevao when Bournemouth visit Stamford Bridge.
🔮 France will conclude their involvement in the extended autumn international break on Monday night when they host Belgium in Paris, seeking to keep hold of top spot League A, Group 1.
🔮 As such, while Lavia did not start for Belgium in their 3-0 win over Turkey, he did replace Hans Vanaken just after the hour mark to help see out the game and could now start against France on Monday evening.
🔮 Eboue, though, believes the business the Blues did in the summer transfer window - spending £349million on 11 new signings such as Morgan Rogers, Danny Welbeck and Emi Martinez - will ultimately put them in title contention.
🔮 Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola is set to be proven right over Giovanni Leoni.
🔮 Gyokeres, meanwhile, will hope to score for a seventh Nations League game in a row when Sweden face Romania again early next week before returning to Arsenal where he could be set for a key role amid injuries to Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis during the international break.
🔮 "Let me be clear: we will get through this together.
🔮 The Three Lions boss will be able to call upon Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, two scorers in Dallas when England beat Croatia 4-2 back in June, as well as the likes of Alex Scott and the in-form Anthony Gordon.
🔮 Plenty of movement will be expected at the home of the Premier League champions, with Julian Alvarez the priority signing and there has been a significant development regarding that pursuit.

🔮 He is being treated by the club's medical staff and the feeling is that Havertz will not face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with any absence likely to last weeks rather than months.
🔮 A big rebuilding project would likely have required Arsenal to find a temporary home elsewhere and that has been ruled out, particularly with Mikel Arteta's side eyeing a dominant era of success.
🔮 The 24-year-old is expected to return to Arsenal and miss Greece's match at home to Germany this weekend.
🔮 One option I could see sending the right message would be to force the club's owners to sell — a vote of no confidence in them as fit and proper owners of a top-flight club on these shores for the way they flagrantly broke rules, and a reminder to other powerful owners to stick to them. But my favoured punishment would be a big enough points deduction to guarantee their relegation to the Championship, and a multi-window transfer embargo as well.
🔮 While there were initial concerns after the match, the outlook has become more positive in the days since and the issue is not a significant one. Scans confirmed that Odegaard had not suffered a serious injury and it is understood the pain the midfielder was dealing with has reduced significantly. Odegaard travelled with the Norway squad to Wales and he has now been named in the 23-man squad for the match in Cardiff on Thursday night. "I wish I could say yes, but I don't know," Solbakken said.
🔮 The face-off could have taken place without the great mass of security that flocked onto the stage.
🔮 The fight is years in the making and will finally be staged later this year in Cardiff in what will likely be the most hotly anticipated fight in British boxing history.
🔮 The partner would only pay a portion of the sponsorship fee, with the remainder funded by Abu Dhabi United Group Investment & Development Ltd (ADUG), which owned the club. "
🔮 A decision on what sanctions City will face has not yet been made.
🔮 If I told Viktor I wanted to rest him, he would probably rip my head off, I think."
