Morning all. Arsenal will be training this morning at London Colney ahead of a trip to face Napoli in the Champions League tomorrow evening. Mikel Arteta will meet the press in Italy later on, so we’ll get some idea of his thoughts on this game, but it’s one I’d like to see a bit of rotation in with a tricky visit to Sunderland on Saturday. How much he’ll be inclined to do that, or simply stick with what’s working, we’ll have to wait and see, but maybe he’ll give us a bit of insight at his press conference this evening.…

Sam Folarin produces a ‘miss of the season’ contender, then Sutton United go on to lose 3-0 to Barrow on Saturday afternoon. He stood up strong, got past the defender and then chipped the keeper, but sent the ball higher than expected, had to wait for it to come back down it bounced just inches from the goal line and instead of tapping it in, possibly expecting it go in, he leaves it to bounce onto the top of the bar and over. Sutton went on to concede three goals, MJ Williams (18′), Isaac Marriott (78′) and Ben Whitfield (90’+7)…
As it turns out, a right-back was well worth the wait for Everton. They tried and failed all summer right up until deadline day when they welcomed Ainsley Maitland-Niles and to say that he introduced himself in style would be an understatement. The former Arsenal man sent a timely reminder of his quality to the rest of the Premier League when he curled home a sensational last-gasp equaliser against Manchester United on Sunday. REUTERS/Jason Cairnduff At long last, Everton have their right-back and one capable of producing heroic moments, at that. Even David Moyes was impressed, telling reporters at full-time:…
