Premier League Injury, Suspension, and Absence situation heading into the Boxing Day weekend Arsenal are in a relative strong position here.

Merry Christmas to all. I wish everyone a wonderful holiday. I’m thankful to spend time with family but also to be a part of the larger Arsenal community. It’s delightful to be atop the table at this time of year.

A simulation of the chances Arsenal had va Crystal Palace would have been more likely to result in 6 goals than the 0 Arsenal scored

Happy Fesitvus to all that celebrate May the airing of grievances be short but a helpful release and the feats of strength legendary

Arsenal 1 (3.1)-(0.8) 1 Crystal Palace It can be a silly game sometimes, somehow Arsenal scored 0 goals here. Probably shouldn't have gone to penalties but Arsenal still make it through to the semi final.

Arsenal had 12 shots, 1.6 xG, 2.1 xG on target, 3 big chances and 38 touches in the box in that half. Crazy that they go in with a 0 on the board.

Martinelli has played out of his skin this half.

Arsenal and Manchester City 2025/26 Goal finishing compared to expected goals. Man City in the middle of a purple patch, Arsenal at a low point, this probably goes a fair way to some of the narrative shift.

Here is Arsenal's Running xG for and against since Odegaard returned from being out injured and the seven matches before.

Today’s my last day of work for 2025. Looking forward to getting a bit of time over the coming days to get back to writing.

I have seen some more creeping Emery revisionism on the TL lately (as is the case when Aston Villa are in a purple patch) and that is a good chance to re-post this from Adam: Is Unai Emery really a better manager than Arteta? www.cannonstats.com/p/is-unai-em...

4.44 shots plus key passes per 90, with 0.43 xG + xA 3.29 shots plus key passes per 90, with 0.34 xG + xA One of these is Eze and one of these is Odegaard this season in the PL + CL.

I think this will be a rotated but strong Arsenal team. I bet Arsenal want to win this match and this competition. Maybe to the annoyance of some. I’m in favor of winning it’s why we watch (even if it is a shity measure of doing well)

I don’t think I fully understand the Odegaard stuff that has come out since he has come back into the team. I think it’s about him but not about him either

Arsenal had a left hand side bias against Everton

Arsenal will have picked up expected points on City after this round of matches. Expect a tiny shift in the odds more towards Arsenal after this one.

Everton 0 (0.2)-(1.5) 1 Arsenal It's 3 points and another +2 on last season we move.

Kicking the ball hard at goal is a pretty good strategy for scoring a penalty.

Alright. Let’s go Arsenal. Please do the winning thing today.

Liverpool got outshot 10-7 after the red card. Spurs did pretty well to create some openings and chances. Some score effects given Liverpool did go up at the beginning of the second half but you’d probably hope for more suppression of Spurs.

Twitter has made it so tweetdeck is broken with no longer showing you a chronological feed and adding in people you aren't following. That might be the thing that finally kills me wanting to be there from my computer.

Here is a theoretical question: Should pass attempts where the receiving player is offside count as a pass attempt and a failed pass for the player making it? I can see making an argument both ways here.
