Gabriel Jesus ‘changed Arsenal’s world last season’, says Mikel Arteta
Mikel Arteta lauded “tremendous” Gabriel Jesus who he claims “changed Arsenal’s world last season”. Gunners boss Arteta could start the Brazil striker for the first time this term at Everton on Sunday after he recovered from a spate of injuries. Jesus has made two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring last time out in the 3-1 victory over Manchester United on September 3. But Arteta insists the former Manchester City forward’s game is about more than goals. “He is a tremendous player,” said Arteta, whose side finished runners-up in the Premier League in 2022-23. “A really important player for us. He changed our world last season. You could all see that. He is going to be a really important player for us. “I think he brought a different energy, a different belief, a different threat, a different fear to opponents. “And he did it in a really natural way and I think he contributed hugely to the step that we had last season. “He tracks a lot of attention and players in the way he plays and creates space for others and that’s a big quality. “When you sign a player you know, who has done it in the league and he’s got the hunger to join us for the right reasons – it was a no-brainer for us to do it and we could see the impact he had straight away in the team.” Arsenal’s last win at Goodison Park came in 2017 and they have scored just twice in their last five visits. Former Everton player Arteta talked up Sean Dyche’s side and identified the levels his players need to be at if they are to take all three points. “For me Everton’s quality is not physicality, it’s what they do and they play really well and Sean (Dyche) does well at doing that,” Arteta added. “Just talking about physicality doesn’t reflect the qualities they have, the reasons they do it, the intentions they have, how they build sequences and momentum in matches. There’s a lot of work there so it is much deeper than that in my opinion. Just talking about physicality doesn't reflect the qualities they have, the reasons they do it, the intentions they have, how they build sequences and momentum in matches. Arteta on Everton “They know (Arsenal players on how hard Everton away is). Obviously we have experienced it so there’s a level of focus and attention you need when you play against a team like that.” Arteta praised Eddie Nketiah after he featured in Gareth Southgate’s England squad earlier this month, despite the striker not playing a single minute during victories against Ukraine and Scotland. He said: “I think it’s a big point to be named in the England national team, it’s a big point. “I was really happy and proud of him and it’s the coaching staff’s decision (on who starts) and he’s going to have to earn the right to play, that shows you the level there is there.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Europe’s 12 Ryder Cup members make cut at BMW PGA Championship On this day in 2018: Simon Yates seals British Grand Tours treble at La Vuelta Justin Thomas finds crucial glimpse of form as Ryder Cup looms

Is Wolves vs Liverpool on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
Liverpool will move to the top of the Premier League if they defeat Wolves at Molineux in the first top-flight match following the international break. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are currently sat in third place, two points behind champions Manchester City, but as they are playing in today’s early kick off they have the chance to add a bit of pressure on Pep Guardiola’s men ahead of their clash with high-flying West Ham later in the afternoon. Liverpool’s start to the season was sketchy but they seem to be finding their rhythm as new midfield signings Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai settle into the team. Victories over Newcastle and Aston Villa have given them some momentum and they will hope to continue their winning streak against their hosts today. For their part, Wolves are looking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace. They’ve featured in some close contests already this year and will be confident of attacking Liverpool’s high defensive line. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game; get all the latest football betting sites offers here. When is Wolves vs Liverpool? The match kicks off at 12:30pm BST at Molineux. Where can I watch it? Wolves vs Liverpool will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. It will be streamed live on the TNT Sports app and desktop website for subscribers. What is the team news? The hosts are looking likely to be as close to full strength as possible, though a couple of players such as Sasa Kalajdzic are still working their way back to total match fitness. Liverpool have doubts over Trent Alexander-Arnold after he went off injured before the international break, while Virgil van Dijk has an extra game suspension to get through before he returns to the fold. Jurgen Klopp’s decisions will centre around which South Americans are too fatigued to start after long journeys back for Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Alisson and Alexis Mac Allister. Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo were both on the scoresheet for their national teams and will hope to return after being subs against Aston Villa last time out. Predicted line-ups Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Kilman, Dawson, Ait Nouri, Sarabia, Lemina, Nunes, Hwang, Neto, Cunha Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Konate, Matip, Robertson, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez Odds Wolves 6/1 Draw 4/1 Liverpool 5/12 Get the latest Premier League odds here. Prediction The Reds to have the firepower to pick up another win on the road and continue their strong start in results terms to 2023/24. Wolves 1-2 Liverpool.
