Every Christmas for the past 9 years, Christian Norgaard’s gran has given him a scrapbook looking back on his efforts over the previous 12 months. This year, he hopes it’s full of memories about lifting trophies with Arsenal. Preview ahead of Kairat: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/380391...

Sounds like Arsenal had their reset yesterday. Arteta about the meeting: “We took a moment to bring the temperature down, to pause, reflect - and ask two questions. “One is how do we feel, and how do I feel myself? “And then, how do we want to live the next four months?”

Arteta says Saliba and Timber are out of tomorrow's game with Kairat. They have "niggles" and Arsenal using time to get them right for Saturday's trip to Leeds.

Josiah King has also signed pro terms, doing so at the first available opportunity on his 17th birthday.

No sign of Merino, Saliba or Timber. Worth noting Merino is suspended

Marli Salmon training with the first team and could get some minutes tomorrow.

Kai Havertz in training this morning:

Ife Ibrahim has signed his first pro contract with Arsenal. Has trained with the first team at times this season and thanked support of Declan Rice. "I think I look up to him most in the first team. He's just great, he's a great guy and has helped me integrate into the squad."

The anxiety around Arsenal’s title race is understandable given their recent history - and the fact they’ve waited 22 years to lift the title. But the United game should also act as an emotional reset and a reminder of where they are. Piece: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/380293...

This week’s Full Arsenal is out now. A look back at Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, with insight from @samuelluckhurst.bsky.social 👇🏻 m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rsi...

Spoke to Martin Odegaard after Arsenal's defeat yesterday. Urged his team-mates to use the pain of previous title races as "fuel". Gap to Aston Villa and Man City now four points. www.thesun.co.uk/sport/380226...

Full-time Arsenal 2-3 Man United The Gunners lose at home for the first time this season. A poor performance, which had plenty of sloppy moments in it. Arsenal's lead at the top of the league stays at four points.

GOAL. Man United. Cunha.

GOAL. Arsenal. Merino.

And Merino.

Eze, Gyokeres and White coming on.

GOAL. Man United. Dorgu.

Half-time Arsenal 1-1 Man United Arsenal deservedly took the lead thanks to a Martinez own goal. Lost control of the game in the minutes after that, though, and Zubimendi gifted Mbeumo the equaliser. One of fair few sloppy passes. A pretty open and entertaining game.

GOAL. Man United. Mbeumo.

Gone down as a Martinez own goal, in the end.

GOAL. Arsenal. Timber.

Arsenal team is out. Gabriel Jesus starts - as does Hincapie. No Havertz in the squad.

At the Emirates for Arsenal v Man United

Arsenal youngster Harrison Dudziak has had his loan with Braintree Town extended. Was originally a one-month loan, but midfielder has performed well with National League side.

Arteta says they will make a decision tomorrow as to whether Calafiori and Hincapie are in the squad to face Man United on Sunday. Both trained today. Adds club being "smart" with Havertz's minutes as he builds up to full fitness.

Arsenal among several clubs that are fans of Real Madrid youngster Victor Valdepenas. Club would like to add a young and versatile defender to squad - most likely in the summer. www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379518...

Oleksandr Zinchenko was at the City Ground last night to watch Nottingham Forest v Arsenal. As per reports in the Netherlands, Ajax working on a loan deal for him as Forest look to cut short his stay. www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379465...

After 17 Premier League games this season, Eberechi Eze has created eight chances. In 34 Premier League games last season, he created 58. Piece on Eze's season so far - and a problem Mikel Arteta must solve: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379461...

There have only been 13 goals in 11 Premier League matches where Sean Dyche and Mikel Arteta have faced each other as opposition coaches. Dyche’s teams have only scored four, but it has been enough for two wins and five draws in those 11 games. #NFOARS

A game where Arsenal never really got going. Player ratings from the City Ground: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379424...

Full-time Forest 0-0 Arsenal Arteta's side go 7 points clear at the top of the league, but - again - it's a case of what might have been. Arsenal did not get going, although Saka brought some life to it. Martinelli missed a great chance - and Aina's pen shout was waved away.

Game feels in need of a moment of magic. Does Arteta throw Eze on?

Looks like Jesus, Merino and Saka coming on.

Martinelli off at half time for Trossard.

Half-time Forest 0-0 Arsenal Arsenal have had plenty of the ball and should be ahead - but Martinelli somehow missed from a few yards out. Forest competing well and carrying some threat in attack, too. Raya had to be quick off his line a few times.

Arsenal team is out. Three changes. Raya, Martinelli and Madueke in. Kepa, Trossard and Saka out.

Arsenal have arrived at the City Ground. Mosquera is with the squad.

At the City Ground for Nottingham Forest v Arsenal What a game this is for Arsenal now - chance to go nine points clear at the top of the league

Midway through the season and Martin Zubimendi has four goal and three assists. It is already his best season in terms of attacking output. Piece on how his game has evolved and Arsenal sharing the goals around: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379227...

This week's Arsenal Files: 🇯🇲 The Arsenal youth coach helping Jamaica's WC bid ❓ Who else is Thomas Gronnemark working with 🔥 Analyst gets an earful at Pompey 👋 A departure from the medical department 🏟️ Fan consultation underway With @charliewyett.bsky.social www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379220...

William Saliba is convinced Viktor Gyokeres will start firing after ending his goal drought. "I am not worried about him, I think he will score. "I know his quality because I played against him last season and it was so tough to play against him." www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379186...

Let’s try that again - apologies Kepa accidentally down as 8 and not 5! Anyway, Viktor Gyokeres with a goal and assist on what was a good night for the Swede. Player ratings from Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379147...

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s loan deal with Nottingham Forest does not contain a break clause this month. www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379152...

Let’s try that again - apologies Kepa accidentally down as 8 and not 5! Anyway, Viktor Gyokeres with a goal and assist on what was a good night for the Swede. Player ratings from Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/379147...

Full-time Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal A bit of a bonkers game in the end. Arsenal take a lead back to the Emirates, but will feel like it could, and maybe should, have been greater. Plenty of positives, though, none more so than how Gyokeres got on. Big night for the Swede.

GOAL. Chelsea. Garnacho (again).

Havertz and Jesus coming on.
