Arsenal star Zinechenko sends Man City warning as Merson urges calm
Arsenal have the chance to reassert their dominance in the Premier League title race when Brentford visit the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners will go eight points clear of Manchester City with a win, before playing their title rivals on Wednesday. And Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko has warned Pep Guardiola's troops he is out for "revenge" after an FA Cup defeat a fortnight ago.
That message to City comes as Paul Merson encouraged Arsenal to not get downhearted by their loss at Everton last week and Zinchenko opened up on Jorginho's first few weeks at the Gunners. Here, Mirror Football rounds up the latest Arsenal news.
Zinchenko sends warning to City

"I still keep in touch with most of them; we are friends and always will be. Yeah, they won that match, and they were joking with me. But I hope we will get revenge next Wednesday," he told VBET News.

Merson urges calm
Paul Merson has urged Arsenal to stay calm despite their defeat to Everton last week. Though he insisted the Gunners could have wrapped up the Premier League title with a win at Goodison Park, the Arsenal legend believes his former side are right on track.
"This is no time to panic for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta," Merson told Sky Sports. "It was the perfect game for Everton and the worst possible game for Arsenal. Goodison Park was back to what it was like when I used to go there in my career.
"Arsenal would have won the league on Saturday with a win at Goodison Park. With what happened with Man City at Tottenham on Sunday, it would have all been wrapped up in my opinion. They are the fine margins you are dealing with at this stage of the season."
