LEAF RUNNERS

Auba and Willian rested in the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool while Lacazette contributed half the moment.
With Granit Xhaka most likely to join the midfielder, Arteta will have to opt for Dani Ceballos or Elneny.
Here’s how you can get started. . .
HA LA LAND
Erling Haaland named the seven strikers he believes are bigger than him, and added Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but he himself would be in a tight draw.
Borussia Dortmund’s 20-year-old star broke into The European level last year with his performances for Red Bull Salzburg.
In an interview with VG, the Norwegian feeling may only think of seven world football centres lately bigger than him, and that’s a list.
The seventh consists of five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and last season’s 55-goal hero Robert Lewandowski from his rival Bayern Munich.
The remaining five strikers are in the Premier League, Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Tottenham hero Harry Kane.
Just in time

Writing in the Daily Mail, Bendtner said: “I went from the No26 T-shirt to the No52 T-shirt because of a fortune teller my mother knows. Or a psychic, as she thinks.
She thinks the 26th is a number for me, 2 6’8, which is my so-called ‘bad number’.
“She found out . . . More or less. According to the friend, seven is my lucky number. My strength number.
“Unfortunately, seven are already busy.
“And 2cinco (2 five – 7) that of [Emmanuel] Adebayor, which means that everything is similar to evil karma.
“We settle for the end.
“When it becomes official, everyone thinks it’s a clue to my new salary: 52,000 euros a week. “
GUNNER GO?
Arsenal’s former star, Gael Clichy, is in training with a French team in fifth place after a loose agent, reportedly.

FAST RACE
Arsenal secured a Europa League tie with Rapid Vienna, Molde and Dundalk in Group B.
José Mourinho will also have his chances of progressing with the Spurs’ draw against Ludogorets, LASK and Royal Antwerp.

But Arsenal will have to face Paris Saint-Germain for their signing.
WAITING FOR A MAIT

On the other hand, Bukayo Saka and Ainsley Maitland-Niles were from Gareth Southgate’s England team.
