Mikel Arteta handed Arsenal Premier League title race boost after triple Brazil squad omission

Arsenal moved five points clear of reigning champions Manchester City in the Premier League title race after a strong 4-0 win against Everton on Wednesday night. Gabriel Martinelli continued his brilliant form of late as he bagged two goals, with Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard securing all three points for the Gunners.

Martinelli has now scored four goals in his last three games for Arsenal after suffering from a lengthy goal drought. Gabriel Magalhaes has proved to be a solid partner in defence alongside William Saliba this season as the pair continue to go from strength to strength under Mikel Arteta.

Gabriel Jesus is edging closer to making a return to fitness after suffering a knee injury whilst away on Brazil duty at the World Cup in Qatar three months ago. Arteta offered a fresh update on the Brazilian striker ahead of the clash against Bournemouth this weekend, revealing that Jesus had been involved in some first team training sessions with the rest of the squad - despite refusing to offer a return date for his number nine.
