Calum Chambers: He's never been one of my favourite Arsenal players but against Everton I thought Chambers was the best defender on the pitch. His second-half collision with Richarlison, in a desperate attempt to defend another Everton attack in the final minutes, was about as committed as it gets. Chambers has grown into a dependable defender amid a host of youth and exuberance but sadly very little else.

TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Daniel Sturridge leaves Trabzonspor due to ‘gambling’ ban It was late on Monday morning when the news came through that Daniel Sturridge had departed from Trabzonspor after his contract was terminated mutually.

Tainan City will host Taichung Futuro for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Tainan City is very average team in this league. However, Tainan City have advantage at home stadium. In any case, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home field. Also, it should be said, Tainan City have better results in the last mutual matches - 3 wins in a row. On the other hand Taichung also is very average team in this season. True, they are undefeated in this campaign. However, they have a very difficult task on the road. My pick - Tainan City to win.

That is my stance. Saturday's game was Ljungberg's last in temporary charge, with Mikel Arteta - who was confirmed as Arsenal's head coach on Friday - set to take over on Sunday.

When he was younger he put in some top performances but he is far more consistent now, which is why he has taken his game to the next level.
