Gabriel Jesus - Busy against West Ham Jesus had three shots (one on target), created four chances, drew four fouls and was shown a yellow card during Thursday's 2-0 loss against West Ham.
Impact Jesus was very active up front and his numbers were a proof of that, but what will probably remembered from this game for most is the pair of clear chances he missed during he second half. With just three goals and an assist over 14 EPL appearances so far this season, the forward will try to bounce back during Sunday's visit to Fulham.

Martin Odegaard - Active display versus West Ham Odegaard had three shots (one on target), created six chances and sent in six crosses (three accurate) during Thursday's 2-0 loss against West Ham.
Impact Odegaard was dynamic as usual in the middle of the park, matching his season high in chances created while also finishing some plays himself, but his strong play wasn't enough for Arsenal to find the back of the net here. With one assist, nine shots and 13 chances created over the last three EPL starts, Odegaard will try to help his side bouncing back during Sunday's visit to Fulham.

Bukayo Saka - Takes nine shots versus West Ham Saka had nine shots (three on target), created four chances, sent in eight crosses (two accurate) and made four tackles (two won) during Thursday's 2-0 loss against West Ham.
Impact Saka was arguably Arsenal's biggest attacking threat, creating and finishing lot of dangerous plays from the right flank. If it wasn't by the post and an inspired opposing goalkeeper, the winger would've left the pitch with at least a brace, not to mention the potential assists. Saka had no goals or assists over the last four EPL starts, but still racked up 18 shots, 11 chances created, 23 crosses and 12 fouls drawn during the same stretch.

David Raya - Allows two, saves PK in loss Raya saved a penalty and conceded two goals during Thursday's 2-0 loss against West Ham.
Impact Raya had a nightmare evening from a fantasy perspective as he was beaten in each of the first two shots he faced. The match didn't finish as a complete disaster for the goalkeeper because he saved Said Benrahma's penalty during second half's stoppage time for what was his lone stop in the entire contest. With 14 goals allowed over 14 EPL starts since joining Arsenal, Raya will try to bounce back during Sunday's visit to Fulham.

Kai Havertz - Suspension served Havertz served his one-match ban during Thursday's 2-0 loss to West Ham and is eligible for Sunday's trip to Fulham.
Impact Havertz was left on the sideline due to a suspension against West Ham, a match that turned into a surprising defeat. The midfielder is now set to return against Fulham, where he will likely return to the starting XI, especially with the rest of the team on short rest.

David Raya - Concedes one Raya recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Raya face just three shots during the draw and stopped two of them. The goalkeeper wasn't overly tested, though Liverpool did hit the bar four times. Still the bar is any goalkeepers best friend and it paid dividends this time. Raya will have easier matches to look to get back with some clean sheets moving forward.

Bukayo Saka - Busy in draw Saka generated two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38t...
Impact Saka was busy throughout Saturday's draw, piling on volume going forward and consistently causing issues on the wing. The attacker is one of the most consistent pieces of the first team with a rock-solid floor and plenty of upside. He will continue to be one of the top wing options in the Premier League moving forward.

Martin Odegaard - Assists in draw Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Liverpool.
Impact Odegaard set up the opening goal from a free kick in the opening stages Saturday. The midfielder is a consistent producer and finds his way onto the ball in almost any match. He will continue to be an option as one of the first names on the team sheet moving forward, while also having a set piece role.

Gabriel Magalhaes - Nets early goal Gabriel scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Liverpool.
Impact Gabriel opened the scoring inside the first 10 minutes during Saturday's draw. The center-back had a quiet game past that and didn't end up filling the stat sheet too well otherwise. Still the goal is a nice boon and easier defensive matches are on the horizon for Gabriel moving forward.

Kai Havertz - Receives fifth yellow card Havertz will not be an option for Thursday's match against West Ham, having received his fifth yellow card of the season against Liverpool on Saturday.
Impact Havertz will be sidelined for his first match of the season Tuesday, having picked up a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The midfielder has started in the club's past five contests, so his absence will cause some change in the starting XI, with Jorginho most likely snagging the start in place of Havertz. He will next be available for the club's match against Fulham on New Year's Eve.

Impact Jorginho could miss his second match in a row with a foot injury. He had just started once in the last four games played, having been an unused sub twice in December. The midfield is set to remain the same from the last match with Delcan Rice and Kai Havertz expected to start against Liverpool.

Bukayo Saka - Takes four shots versus Brighton Saka had four shots (one on target), created three chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and drew four fouls during Sunday's 2-0 win over Brighton.
Impact Saka returned to the team after being rested during midweek's UCL match and played well, although he didn't do extraordinary things as we're used to see him do regularly. With eight goals and 10 assists over 21 appearances in all competitions this season, the winger will try to get back in the scoring column during Saturday's visit to Liverpool.

Gabriel Martinelli - Fills stat sheet versus Brighton Martinelli had four off-target shots, created five chances, sent in 13 crosses (four accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Brighton.
Impact Martinelli returned to the team after being rested during midweek's UCL game and was one of the game's top performers despite neither scoring nor assisting. The winger hasn't been as prolific as he was last season but his improvement in other areas and the expanded role in set pieces make him remain a top fantasy option regardless of the number of appearances on the scoresheet. Up next for Martinelli is Saturday's visit to Liverpool.
