David Raya - Makes three saves in win Raya made three saves and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 1-0 (5-2) penalty shootout win versus FC Porto.

Impact Raya tied his second-highest save total in this season's Champions League and managed to hang on through penalties to allow his side to walk away with the victory. This marks the fourth clean sheet in seven UCL appearances on the season for Raya. As a result of Arsenal's upcoming meeting with Chelsea in the Premier League being postponed, the squad looks ahead to an encounter with Manchester City in Premier League on March 31.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Appears on bench Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash with Porto in the Champions League.

Impact Tomiyasu had been in and around training in recent weeks and it seems that he's finally passed the final fitness tests to get back on the bench. The full-back will likely need to earn any significant minutes as the brilliant form of the defense could make Jakub Kiwior and Ben White hard to displace in the starting XI.

Gabriel Martinelli - Left out of Brazil squad list Martinelli (foot) was been left out of the squad list for Brazil's friendly matches over the March international break, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Martinelli appears to be set to miss the club's next two matches, as he is now in heavy doubt for Tuesday's match against Porto due to his foot lesion after being left off the Brazilian squad list. This will be a brutal blow for the club if he cannot compete, as they will have to try to pull off the comeback without one of their best attackers, having three goal contributions in his four appearances in the competition this season. If this is the case, they will hope to have him back after he gets in extra recovery over the international break, looking to get back in the side for the March 31 match against Manchester City, with Leandro Trossard replacing him in the starting XI once again against Porto.

Bukayo Saka - Logs double-digit crosses in win Saka had three off-target shots, created two chances and sent in 11 crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Saka couldn't score or assist as he's done in most games as of late but was still one of the driving forces behind Arsenal's offense, always finding different ways to threat and matching his season high in crosses. The winger, who had seven goals and one assist over his previous seven domestic starts, is on pace to have the best scoring season of his career, so he's more than ever a must-have fantasy pick.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Odegaard - Active display in win Odegaard had three off-target shots, created three chances and sent in three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Odegaard was once again a dynamic presence in the midfield, showcase his widely known playmaking skills but also racking up at least three shots for consecutive games for the first time since he did it four straight times to start the season. The midfielder hasn't been as prolific as he was last year, but his two goals and three assists over the last six games in all competitions indicate he can still make a huge impact during the decisive stretch of the campaign.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Ramsdale - Allows one in rare start Ramsdale made three saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Ramsdale was given a rare chance to start a league game, with David Raya not allowed to face his parent club, but ended up committing a huge mistake, allowing Yoane Wissa to deflect his kick into the back of the net to draw things level at 1-1 just before halftime. Raya will be available again for UCL's decisive matchup against Porto and next weekend's derby versus Chelsea, so Ramsdale will probably have another long wait for a chance to redeem himself.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ben White - Logs two assists on Saturday White made two assists, created three chances and sent in five crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact White didn't have much work to do on defense and was given plenty of space to go up the field and support the offense. That led to him assisting both of his side's goals with perfect crosses. The right-back, who was already coming off scoring on the previous match, is not exactly seen as a two-way stud and performances like this one should be seen more like a bonus for those who pick him for fantasy teams.

Kai Havertz - Bags winner against Brentford Havertz scored a goal off four shots (two on target) and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Havertz was once again a huge threat up front, pacing his team in shots attempted and being decisive for them to win all three points by scoring the game-winner with a powerful header off a cross from the right flank in the 86th minute. That's now three straight games with a goal and four goals and two assists over the last five for the attacker, a great bounce back after a slow start of campaign.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Declan Rice - Scores again versus Brentford Rice scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Rice didn't stand out defensively as usual but made up for that with another impressive offensive display as he used his head to open the scoring off a cross from the right in the 19th minute, hitting the crossbar with an amazing finish during the second frame and being heavily involved in the build-up of plays. That's now two goals and an assist for the midfielder over the last three starts as he keeps adding numbers to the most prolific campaign of his career.

Gabriel Martinelli - Not yet training Martinelli (foot) is not training ahead of Tuesday's clash with Porto, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "He did the first part, Gabi didn't, but that's what we're hoping for [Tom...

Impact Martinelli was reportedly dealing with a cut on his foot, and it seems to be a serious one as the winger is evidently set for a second match in a row on the sideline. If Martinelli is sidelined once more it would likely bring Leandro Trossard into the starting XI yet again.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Training Monday Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is training ahead of Tuesday's clash with Porto, according to manager Mikel Arteta."He did the first part, Gabi didn't, but that's what we're hoping for [Tom...

Impact Tomiyasu seems to be trending towards a return from an undisclosed issue for Tuesday's match. After what has become an extended period on the sideline it's not clear what Tomiyasu's role will look like, though he could compete for minutes in the starting XI.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Logs 11 minutes in return Zinchenko played 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford. He registered one interception.

Impact Zinchenko didn't do much in his return to action after a five-game absence, but having him back is an excellent sign for Mikel Arteta. Given that Zinchenko has been Arsenal's starting left-back for most of the season, there's a chance he'll recover that starting role when the Gunners take on Porto on Tuesday in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

David Raya - Eligible for action Raya is available once again for Arsenal following his absence against Brentford due to being loan-locked against his parent club.

Impact Raya should most likely be expected to get the start once again now that he is available, as he has been their regular starter all season since taking the job from Aaron Ramsdale in matchweek five. Plus, Ramsdale was not particularly great in Saturday's win after his blunder led to Brantford's lone goal. With that being said, expect Raya to get the start against Porto on Tuesday in the UCL, looking to add to his three clean sheets and 11 saves in the competition.
