PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2025/26

SO TRUE GG

Mikel Arteta has silenced the doubters and brought Arsenal back to the top 🔥 And he is already building a legacy of his own at Arsenal! 🔴⚪

Opinion: Why Tuchel Cannot Afford to Leave Myles Lewis-Skelly Off England’s World Cup Plane. ​As Thomas Tuchel finalizes his England squad for the 2026 World Cup, one decision should require no deliberation. Leaving Arsenal’s breakout star, Myles Lewis-Skelly, off the plane to North America would not just be a grave injustice—it could actively jeopardize England’s title ambitions. To conquer a tournament, a manager needs tactical chess pieces, and Lewis-Skelly is the ultimate grandmaster's tool. ​The Tactical Swiss Army Knife ​Naturally a midfielder, the teenager has seamlessly adapted to the highest level by thriving at left-back. In tournament football where squad depth is tested, this elite versatility is priceless. ​Elite Retention: Cultivated in Arsenal's academy, his composure under pressure is staggering. He recorded one of the highest pass-completion rates in the Premier League during his breakthrough campaign, effectively nullifying opposition press. ​Defensive Steel: Lewis-Skelly pairs technical elegance with raw athleticism. Statistically, he boasts elite duel-winning percentages and is rarely beaten in 1v1 situations. ​The Left-Back Solution: For years, England has lacked depth and consistency at left-back. Lewis-Skelly offers a modern solution: a gifted full-back who can invert into midfield to help dictate tempo and dominate possession. ​Forged in the Fire ​What separates the good from the generational is mentality. Stepping into Mikel Arteta’s high-stakes side during intense Premier League and Champions League campaigns requires immense character. ​When Arteta rotated him out midway through the season, Arsenal stuttered; it was no coincidence that their late-season surge to the Premier League title and a Champions League final appearance coincided with his return to the starting XI. Having already scored on his senior England debut, he has proven he doesn't just cope with the grand stage—he owns it. ​The Verdict ​Tuchel’s managerial DNA relies on flexibility, control, and mental resilience. Lewis-Skelly checks every box, representing both an immediate fix to a historic problem position and the future of England's midfield. Leaving a freshly crowned Premier League champion and Champions League finalist at home would be an act of stubborn conservatism. If England want to bring football home, Tuchel must get Lewis-Skelly on that flight.

Mikel Arteta has a big selection headache going into the Champions League final against PSG. Viktor Gyökeres deserves to get a nod ahead of Kai Havertz imo.

England currently on longest trophy drought in history and who else can you trust to break this other this group??

There is something truly beautiful about the fact that the goal that ultimately won #Arsenal the Premier League came from a Bukayo Saka corner and Kai Havertz header after everything we’ve had to listen to about set pieces. Mikel Arteta found a way to win.
