League position: 1st . Arsenal avoided failing to win in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2024 (four). . The Gunners had now kept a clean sheet in ten of their last 29 away games in the Premier League. . Declan Rice had now become the 169th player to make 300 appearances in the Premier League (West Ham United 204, Arsenal 96). . Bukayo Saka was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Noni Madueke was promoted to the starting XI with Christian Norgaard taking his place on the bench. . The goal accreditation panel adjudged that Arsenal’s goal in the 38th minute was scored by Noni Madueke (so not an own goal by Karl Darlow).
