The break comes at the right time for Arsenal - not because there’s any real cause for introspection, but because they need some players back.

What #AFC have produced across this period provides them with a great platform.

And the cavalry are coming.

This time last season, Arsenal had already suffered three red cards and 24 yellows.

This year, they have no reds, just 10 yellows, & sit top of the Fair Play table.

So what explains the turnaround?

Burnley 0 Arsenal 2 – Was this Gyokeres’ best display so far? Are Declan Rice’s corners increasingly undefendable?

🔺 Gyokeres' best 45 mins since arriving in the PL
🔺 Rice's delivery + Gabriel's presence = ANOTHER set-piece goal

What most clubs would give for a prodigiously gifted academy attacker with a wand of a left foot.

In Max Dowman and Ethan Nwaneri, Arsenal have two.

It is easy forget how far Nwaneri has come. On nights like this, he leads the way for other Hale End stars like Dowman and Harriman-Annous
