Is it a coincidence that when Michael Oliver makes important "mistakes" it is usually either against Arsenal or in favour of Manchester City or in a match that will have a positive impact on Manchester City.
See some examples below;
Arsenal want Bournemouth's Alex Scott. Arsenal prefers to do a deal on the summer but could be forced to move for him in January in order not to lose him to rivals.
Bournemouth will demand as much as £100m.

- Would you like to stay at Arsenal?
🚨🚨🗣️| Viktor Gyökeres: "Yes, that's what I want…
I've performed well recently when I've had the chance to play. Right now, I feel things are going well.
It's great to perform at this level and make a difference for myself and the team. That's what I'm focusing on.
Communication with Arteta is good. We talk about football and the way we want to play. And before matches, if I'm going to start, we talk about the opposition and what I need to focus on.
It's the negative things that get the biggest headlines and stick most in people's minds when they hear the news. I understand that that's how things work."

Zubimendi and Xabi Alonso share the same agent, so a link between the player and Chelsea makes sense and is clear.
Xabi Alonso is already showing admiration for Zubimendi's abilities.

- Zubimendi on Ccompetition at Arsenal...
🗣️| "I understand that, because I see that we play for one of the top five clubs in Europe.
We have some very big players, and in my position specifically, new players have joined, and there were already some strong names.
I'm also part of this competition, which makes getting a chance to play extremely difficult."

According to Sky Sport, Antonio Nusa is not likely to leave RB Leipzig in the January transfer window.
Only a big offer would force RB Leipzig to consider a sale mid season but the club's management are not expecting such offers in January.
Sourcez have told Sky Sport, the realistic expected transfer fee currently ranges between €70 million and €90 million.
@SkySportDE
Sources at Atlético Madrid have denied and ruled out any negotiations or plans to sign Zubimendi during the January transfer window.
If Zubimendi leaves Arsenal, Chelsea will be the closest and most likely team to sign him.

Ezri Konsa is absent from England training as he undergoes individual training sessions.
Konsa suffered a knee injury in the match against Slavia Prague, but still played for Hull City and completed the full match.
@tabuteauS
Arteta has told Ezri Konsa to fight to keep his place in the starting lineup. Arteta will not automatically give William Saliba a starting shirt ahead of Konsa.
@IsaanKhan_
Arsenal consulted leading specialists in back injuries and deliberately decided to extend Saliba’s rehabilitation period to avoid a setback.
Despite playing at a slower tempo with Arsenal U21, Saliba showed clear superiority, delivering passes that cut through Aston Villa’s midfield while also directing his young teammates throughout the half

Arsene Wenger is this week expected to make a final decision on whether he is going to stand against Gianni Infantino in the FIFA presidential election.
Wenger is being lobbied by key stakeholders in football, including UEFA, to put himself forward as a candidate ahead of the November 18 deadline.

Zubimendi: “I think people need to be a little more careful about what they publish. I read that I could be close to joining Atleti, but that’s nowhere near the case.” @marca

Endrick has a 70% chance of leaving Real Madrid in January.
The Premier League is his likeliest destination and what Real Madrid prefers.
Madrid will want to keep a percentage of his future sales.
@MatteMoretto
Arsenal are monitoring the quartet of Alex Baena, Endrick, Antonio Nusa and Junior Kroupi to bolster the attack.
Arteta wants to sign a quick player who is good at moving the ball forward and operating in tight spaces, but any deal may depend on one of the players leaving.
