Impact Xhaka had started seven straight matches before falling ill ahead of Friday's clash.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Starting against Southampton Zinchenko (groin) was named to the starting XI versus Southampton on Friday.
Impact Zinchenko returns to the pitch after missing just one match due to his groin problem. With the left-back reclaiming his place in the starting XI, Kieran Tierney finds himself relegated to a bench role.

Why was Arsenal's title challenge so unexpected? (And why is football so hard to predict?) A lot of predictions were made at the start of the 2022-23 season. Many, many, many of them were wrong. Why?

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Expected to miss more time Zinchenko (groin) has no timeline to return, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "It's a muscular injury and it needs some time to heal and we're not there yet."
Impact Unfortunately for Zinchenko, it sounds like he'll miss next week's trip to Manchester City and possibly more. He's started 22 league matches this season and had started every match since November prior to missing the draw against West Ham. Kieran Tierney, who had dropped to a bench role behind Zinchenko, will get his chance for minutes at left-back.

Impact It's not the update Arsenal fans were hoping for, as Saliba seems likely to miss at least another week of matches, including the trip to Manchester City. He's been out the last four contests, two of them in which Arsenal dropped points and allowed multiple goals. Rob Holding is expected to remain in the starting XI while Saliba is out.

Aaron Ramsdale - Beaten twice versus West Ham Ramsdale made one save and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact Ramsdale wasn't at fault for either goal allowed as the first came off the penalty spot and the second one was a close-range volley nearly impossible to stop. What really affected his fantasy output was the fact that he couldn't make enough saves to offset these goals. Despite having his team sitting atop EPL's table, Ramsdale doesn't have stellar numbers as it could be expected from him, with 75 saves, 31 goals conceded and 12 clean sheets over 31 starts.

Bukayo Saka - Misses PK against West Ham Saka had four shots (one on target), sent in four crosses (two accurate) and missed a penalty during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact Saka didn't have exactly a bad performance but is was still below the standard he's been setting over the last few seasons. To make things worse, the winger missed a penalty, sending the ball well over the crossbar during the opening minutes of the second half and that ended up being a difference-maker as the opposition got the equalizer shortly afterwards. With 12 goals and 10 assists over 31 league appearances, Saka will try to bounce back during Friday's home clash against Southampton.

Gabriel Martinelli - Logs assist against West Ham Martinelli made an assist, had two shots (one on target), created three chances and sent in four crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact Martinelli was once again one of Arsenal's biggest threat up front and kept alive his streak of games with a goal or an assist, this time with a picture-perfect cross for Martin Odegaard to double his side's lead with just 10 minutes into the game. With 14 goals and five assists over 31 league appearances, the wonderkid is having a breakthrough campaign and his fantasy appeal just tends to go up.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Odegaard - Scores against West Ham Odegaard scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact Odegaard didn't need much time to make an impact, being involved on the play that led to his side first goal and then scoring himself with a beautiful volley off a cross from the left in the 10th minute to double Arsenal's lead. With 11 goals and seven assists over 30 league starts, the playmaker definitely reached another level on his game, being currently one of EPL's best players not only at his position, but overall.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ben White - Provides assist versus West Ham White provided an assist and made three clearances and one block during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact White had another big contribution on the attacking end, this time assisting Gabriel Jesus for the opening goal of the match in the 7th minute and this more than made up for the ordinary defensive numbers he put up. With one goal, two assists and 14 clearances over his last four league starts, the right-back is delivering much more than what is expected from him for fantasy purposes.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gabriel Jesus - Scores again versus West Ham Jesus scored a goal off his lone shot, suffered three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Impact Jesus needed just seven minutes into the game to appear completely unmarked inside the six-yard box and slot home a pass from the right to open the scoring for Arsenal. The forward couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards, though, and that ultimately led him to be subbed off midway through the second half. Anyway, that's now four goals over the last three starts for Jesus, who will try to extend his scoring streak during Friday's home clash against Southampton.
