There is a tag the Gunners won’t want to claim: the finest team the Premier League has produced not to win major silverware

Micah Richards believes Ethan Nwaneri ‘has to have more minutes’ if Arsenal need a difference-maker to come on and change the game in their Champions League semi-final second leg with PSG. The Gunners enter tonight’s meeting in Paris trailing 1-0 in the tie after Ousmane Dembele scored the only goal of the game in front a subdued Emirates crowd a week ago.

Mikel Arteta is feeling a little sore lately. He now has to take his team up to Anfield, where party mode is in full swing for Liverpool — but Pep Guardiola has already told him what to do. The bitterness of finishing second (at best) for a third straight season does seem to be grating on the Arsenal manager.
