Arsenal’s next Premier League game is against Sam Alardyce’s Sunderland on Saturday 5th December 2015, at the Emirate Stadium.

Koscielny was replaced after 11 minutes with an apparent back strain, but Arsenal took the lead as Sanchez set up Mesut Ozil for a fine finish on 30 minutes.
Wenger however admitted that he considered it, but that Sanchez himself said he wanted to, and was fit to play. You are playing for the title and you come here [to Norwich] and you need to win.
“There are plenty of players across Europe who play in every single game”. I personally wouldn’t have liked that when I was a player but then you take it on the chin.
Arsenal have taken just two points during November and were already contending with a crippling injury list before the severity of the situation worsened with the potential loss of Sanchez, while Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla also face the prospect of a spell on the sidelines.
“I have said it before, there is great depth in the team”, Bellerin told Arsenal Player. Norwich were focused and at a top level physically, we play every time with 10 players in their own half and we were not incisive enough to break through.
You nearly had to shake your head in disbelief as Sanchez limped off with a hamstring injury against Norwich on Sunday – only four days after Wenger queried the fitness of his talisman. At the start of the season we played well but weren’t solid enough. He scored, he had a good game and he didn’t get injured.
The Gunners have now drawn two and lost one of their last three Premier League games.
Aaron Ramsey returned this week, playing 72 minutes on Sunday, after one month out with another hamstring injury. “It looks to me like a fair result”, he said.
“It was obviously a bit disappointing to go a goal up and to concede that goal was a bit disappointing from our view, but to be fair they did well and they deserved to get a point out of the game”.

Spurs enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and chances and forced some decent work in the first half from Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic as they went a 13th straight league game without defeat, their best run since a 14-match streak in 1984-1985. When Campbell and the Ox came onto the right they began to link up with the Spaniard and we started to look a threat again.
