With the Europa League trip to AC Milan and FA Cup quarterfinal at Leicester coming up before the international break, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side kicked off an important week with a solid performance on Sunday

For 38 minutes it seemed the only question was how many Arsenal might score as they poured forward following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s sixth-minute opener, with Mikel Arteta’s side picking up where they left off in last week’s 3-1 win at Leicester.
The Foxes’ stalemate ensured they left the Eden Arena favourites to progress after the first leg of their last-32 tie.
In the absence of striker Jamie Vardy, the Foxes had earned just one point from matches against Everton and Leeds, but they bounced back at Craven Cottage.

“Jamie will probably miss the European game and hopefully he’ll be okay for our next league game. “It’s just a recurrence of what he’s had over the last number of years,” Rodgers said following Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League defeat by Aston Villa.
The 29-year-old will now self-isolate for 10 days, which will see him miss at least three matches against Wolves, Bournemouth and Leicester.
The England defender has signed a five-year deal worth up to £190,000-per-week after passing a medical and also having checks on the heel injury that ruled him out of the end of last season.
The 23-year-old joined Leicester from Manchester City for £25 million in 2017 and has been used predominantly from the bench by manager Brendan Rodgers.
