Takehiro Tomiyasu - Named to World Cup squad Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is in doubt against Wolverhampton on Saturday but is expected to be available for Japan at the 2022 World Cup.

Impact In 17 appearances for Arsenal this season, Tomiyasu has recorded one assist, three shots (zero on target) and eight crosses (three accurate). Barring any injury setbacks, the defender should be in the mix to feature prominently in Japan's starting XI for the World Cup.

Gabriel's goal keeps Arsenal top with 1-0 win at Chelsea

Gabriel’s second-half goal was enough to keep Arsenal top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Chelsea that further underlined the Gunners’ title credentials

Rob Holding - Late addition in win Holding played for the final moments of Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Holding has made just four appearances off the bench in the Premier League but has scored once while starting all six Europa League matches. So long as Gabriel and William Saliba continue to excel as a partnership, Holding is unlikely to play much aside from competitions that aren't the domestic league.

William Saliba - Keeps clean sheet in win Saliba kept a clean sheet with three interceptions made during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Saliba has completed the full 90 in all but one of his appearances this season, though he hasn't played in every match by getting rested for Rob Holding for certain Europa League games. The first half of the season has still looked strong for Saliba, who struggled in his first chance at Arsenal but now excels after spending last season on loan at Marseille.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Edward Nketiah - Left on bench in win Nketiah was left on the bench during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Nketiah has started in all six UEL matches and scored twice in that competition but has made 12 EPL appearances, all coming as a substitute. So long as Gabriel Jesus is fit and Reiss Nelson is productive from the bench, Nketiah might have a tough time getting major minutes on the front line.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Odegaard - Creates two chances in win Odegaard created two chances from four crosses (one accurate) and put one shot on target during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Odegaard was unlikely to put up as big of numbers as in the 5-0 rout of Nottingham Forest but he still did well to conduct the midfield. As he's looked solid all season but not as productive as Bukayo Saka, one can hope that Odegaard does even better in 2023 with a mid-season break for the World Cup.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kieran Tierney - Comes off bench in win Tierney logged 12 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Tierney scored in a Europa League start against FC Zurich but with Oleksandr Zinchenko fit again, the Scot has become an option off the bench once again. Though a talented player in his own right, Tierney will likely fit into the rotation instead of as a regular player in 2023 as well.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Ramsdale - Keeps clean sheet in win Ramsdale kept a clean sheet with one save made during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Ramsdale has kept three straight clean sheets over the last week to go into the World Cup in fine form after a 2-0 loss to PSV on Oct. 27. He's now kept three clean sheets in 13 league matches and should be one of the better options to track going into 2023.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Makes four tackles in win Zinchenko made four tackles (two won) during 78 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Zinchenko made his first start since returning from a calf injury that kept him out for all but one game in October. If he can stay fit and improve his fitness during the break for the World Cup, Zinchenko should regularly start at left-back in 2023.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Magalhaes - Finds net in win Gabriel scored one goal from one shot and kept a clean sheet with two interceptions made during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Gabriel took advantage of a mess in the box to score the game's only goal. With three clean sheets in his last three games between the league and UEL, Gabriel has found an exceptional run of form heading into the mid-season pause for the World Cup.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Granit Xhaka - Win four tackles in victory Xhaka won four-of-four tackles and put two shots off target during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Xhaka got busy defensively and still managed to avoid conceding a third yellow card in his last five matches. While his attacking chances are more limited from a deeper role protecting the defense with Thomas Partey, Xhaka will still get plenty of chances for a team in good form as he's still scored twice in his last four league matches.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bukayo Saka - Logs assist in win Saka logged one assist from three chances created on nine crosses (two accurate) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Saka has recorded assists in consecutive league matches, getting into top form with little time remaining before the World Cup. So long as the Gunners continue to top the table, Saka should be a key to their success.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Jesus - Takes three shots in win Jesus took three shots (one on goal) and created two chances on three crosses (zero accurate) during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Jesus continues to be heavily involved in the attack but doesn't look so confident in taking his own chances, going scoreless in his last eight matches. As long as he gets plenty of touches in the box for a team in exceptional form, Jesus is worth tracking until he can score his own goals once again.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Turner - Bench option versus Chelsea Turner (groin) is available for Sunday's game against Chelsea.

Impact Turner returns to his usual backup role domestically after missing three games due to a minor groin injury. He'll deputize Aaron Ramsdale, and this is good news for the United States as well with Turner likely to start during the opening stages of the World Cup.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Unavailable versus Chelsea Tomiyasu (knock) didn't make the game-day squad list to face Chelsea Sunday.

Impact Tomiyasu picked up a small injury during the midweek Europa League game versus Zurich and will miss at least one game. Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko are manning the defensive flanks from the start, while Kieran Tierney and Cedric Soares are on the bench.
