He had seven shots without scoring in the Carabao Cup tie at Fleetwood. 🥅 Gyokeres ended his long drought with the equaliser at Fleetwood, but he has had one shot in 148 Premier League minutes and none in 160 Champions League minutes. In his first Arsenal season he scored 21 goals, 14 of them in the title-winning league campaign. 🛡️ Arsenal's defenders have scored more goals than their strikers in all competitions this season. Since Arteta arrived, Arsenal have spent £224.5m on forwards, compared with £550.1m on midfielders and £350m on defenders. 🔎 Sky Sports judged Havertz the more likely starter because of his all-round contribution, and also mentioned Mikel Merino as an option up front. 📊 By the numbers • Havertz without a goal: 561 minutes (all competitions) • Gyokeres league shots: one in 148 minutes • Spent on forwards under Arteta: £224.5m • Spent on midfielders: £550.1m 👀 What to watch 🧩 Havertz or Gyokeres — Sky Sports leans towards Havertz. Arteta's pick will shape Arsenal's attack at Anfield. 🔄 The Merino option — moving Merino up front is another possibility. 🩹 No Saka — with their wide goal threat missing, finishing from the No 9 matters even more. 🔭 Why it matters Arsenal have won seven of eight league games and are level on points with Man City. The result at Anfield at 4.30pm on 1 November could shift the title race.
