After a hectic and relatively successful start to 2024, Arsenal is now getting some well-deserved rest.
Arsenal’s next Premier League encounter is against Sheffield United on Monday, March 4. Liverpool eliminated Mikel Arteta’s club from the FA Cup in January, which explains the nine-day delay between games.
Even though they were clearly frustrated with the loss at Emirates Stadium, it could help them maintain their fantastic league run. Arsenal has won six consecutive Premier League games, keeping up the pace with Liverpool and Manchester City, winning 25-3 overall.
The 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle, who had upset them in a disputed game in November, showcased a team in terrific form. Prior to the second leg of their Champions League last-16 match against Porto on March 12, they will focus on their games against Sheffield United and Brentford. Here are the most recent club-related stories.
Rice was surprised by a teammate.
Declan Rice had some preconceived thoughts about his new colleagues when he joined Arsenal in the summer. He has recently admitted that, following another brilliant performance against Newcastle, Gabriel Magalhaes’ skills have taken him by surprise.
Rice said, “[William] Saliba is unbelievable.” “Obviously, before I came here, I heard all the talk about him.” But Gabriel has actually surprised me.
“He is quite powerful and assertive. He never loses a duel and always wants to win. It is extremely beneficial and gives you confidence to have two center backs who play fiercely and with passion. Gabriel and Saliba have a great chemistry, which has helped them set a Premier League record of 23 goals conceded in 26 games.

Arteta stands up for Jorge.
After the Newcastle match, Arteta lauded Jorginho, stating the player’s performance reminded him of why he wanted to sign him from Chelsea in January 2023. Despite only making his sixth Premier League start of the season, the experienced midfielder outperformed Rice.
“He’s a very good player,” Arteta said. Particularly when rivals have specific setups and behaviors. He was going to have a big influence on the game, in my opinion. “Credit to him when he’s not playing consistently because he was magnificent again,” he went on to say.
“I just try to make things easier for my team,” Jorginho explained. When I can accomplish it on the field, it makes me very happy to see the squad work hard, score goals, and have fun while playing together in front of these devoted fans. It’s very great.”
Raya’s dog provides protection.
David Raya is training an XL Bully dog to defend his family and stuff. Goku, the Arsenal goalkeeper’s dog, is not barred from owning canines in the United Kingdom.
The 28-year-old has hired a business to assist Goku with his training. “Everyone who owns XL Bullies is concerned,” an Elite Protection Dogs spokesman told The Sun. However, David wishes to be responsible with him because he is a responsible owner. Goku has a long-term contract with us for training.”
In recent years, there have been multiple break-ins involving Premier League players. Criminals have targeted Joelinton, Jack Grealish, and Raheem Sterling.
