Arsenal head into the final international break of the year in excellent health.
Mikel Arteta ’s men sit third in the Premier League standings with eight wins from their opening 12 games. Their latest success saw them overcome Burnley 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Leandro Trossard had given Arsenal the lead before Josh Brownhill equalised after the break. Further strikes from William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko eventually secured victory for Arteta’s side.
While the Gunners are now set to be out of action for just under a fortnight, there is still plenty going on in north London. Take a look at all of the news coming out of the Emirates Stadium over the past 24 hours:

When he was asked for his opinion on Arteta's touchline conduct, Rice told 90min: “We love it. I think you see how passionate he is. He sometimes gets criticised for how he is on the sidelines, but he is living the game through us.
“He's so energetic and the way he speaks, he's like a teacher the way he is in the changing room with us and that really fires us up for the game and I think that's what he's really good at.”
