Premier League LIVE: Arteta offers Gabriel update in major injury blow, Saka scores on Arsenal return, Nuno emulates Clough with Man United win

Gabriel update

Arsenal may have won this evening, but they will have a major injury concern on their hands with Gabriel.

The Brazilian hobbled off after seemingly picking up a hamstring issue, and now Mikel Arteta has given an update.

Speaking to BBC MOTD: Arteta said: "Yes [there's concern over Gabriel] because he never comes off. He felt something.

"We don't know how big it is. We will assess him before the next games."

Arteta also commented on Jurrien Timber who came off with a knock too, saying: "He was also struggling.

"He was struggling a bit yesterday, too."

One of the world's best?

Declan Rice is delighted to have Bukayo Saka back.

The Arsenal midfielder spoke about his teammate post-match, telling Sky Sports: "The reception speaks for itself.

"That's why he's one of the best wingers in the world because he attacks the box and sniffs the goal.

"You take them, he's in the right position at the right time and topped off a great night for him and for us.

"He gives us an outlet. All of our front players are so different and rotate so well...with Bukayo back, it's a real boost."

On Gabriel's injury, Rice added: "I don't know what's happened.

"I hope he's okay because he's been arguably our best player this season and we need him for big matches and big occasions."

'Unbelievable'

Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates has been speaking following another incredible win for his side.

He told TNT Sports: "Special, after a massive performance.

"120 minutes the other day - it is unbelievable. The determination, fans were incredible and buzzing to keep the run going.

"We're having a great season. The past two seasons were about staying up, keeping our head above water, and we have got that momentum at the minute."

Yates continued: "I don't want to say [about Champions League chances] as football is so cruel.

"We have got the cup to focus on and we have got the league.

"We are at Villa Park Saturday and they're flying. We take each game as it comes."

Career first

How about this for a Bukayo Saka stat?

His goal only seven minutes into his long-awaited return from injury this evening was his first as a substitute for Arsenal.

He's scored 67 goals before this when starting.

On top of that, Saka has now been involved in 23 goals in all competitions this season (10 goals, 13 assists).

The winger is the third Premier League player to record 10+ goals and 10+ assists in each of the last three seasons.

He's joined Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes.

Emulating a legend

Nottingham Forest have completed their first league double over Manchester United since 1991-92 under Brian Clough.

Nuno Espirito Santo has emulated an icon.

What an achievement for Nuno and Forest as their incredible campaign continues.

This squad and manager will go down in club history.

The City Ground was bouncing after the full-time whistle.

Stoppage time

We'll have an additional six minutes!

Harry Maguire is now up front for Man United.

But so far, Nottingham Forest have dealt well with the United attacks as they throw players forward.

If Forest hold on, they're dream season will continue.

A top-four place is getting closer and closer to being theirs.

Five to go

Can Nottingham Forest hold on?

We're into the final five minutes at the City Ground.

Manchester United are pushing for a goal and the atmosphere is tense among the home support.

Mason Mount is on for United and he's come very close to a goal on his return form injury, striking just wide.

Time is ticking for the Red Devils...

Full time

It's all over at the Emirates!

Arsenal have beaten Fulham to cut the gap to Liverpool down to nine points at the top of the Premier League.

Their title hopes remain thin but there's still a chance.

Meanwhile, at Molineux, Wolves have beaten West Ham.

It means Vitor Pereira's side are 12 points clear of the relegation zone with Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton playing tomorrow.

Is that the relegation battle over?

• Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
• Wolves 1-0 West Ham

GOAL! Arsenal 2-1 Fulham: Rodrigo Muniz

Fulham have a consolation!

Rodrigo Muniz steals the clean sheet from Arsenal four minutes into stoppage time at the Emirates.

Ryan Sessegnon drills a cross in and Muniz finishes at the near post to make this a slightly more nervy finish.

David Raya will not be pleased to concede so late.

Surely, the Gunners will be hanging on to the win though.

Leading by example

Man United are piling pressure on at the City Ground.

Alejandro Garnacho has just had a shot blocked wide on a fast break, with Ryan Yates getting back to deny him.

The defensive work receives a massive roar from the home fans.

No player has won more duels in this match than Yates, with him coming out on top eight times.

The Nottingham Forest captain is leading his team to a win.

Off the bar!

West Ham have come very close to an equaliser!

Niclas Fullkrug has struck the crossbar with a header.

The big German won a cross from Lucas Paqueta but the Hammers are denied a goal back at Molineux.

We're into the last 10 minutes of that game and Wolves lead 1-0.

The hosts need to hold on to these crucial three points...

Down and out

Jurrien Timber can't continue.

It's another injury worry for Arsenal after losing Gabriel to a supposed hamstring issue in the first half.

Timber went down earlier on in the game after jarring his knee but he managed to be treated and continue.

However, he's gone down again and this time, he's off.

Another blow for the Gunners ahead of their clash with Real Madrid i in the Champions League quarter-finals next week.

Sak's back

Here he is! Bukayo Saka is back.

The Arsenal star is on for his first appearance of 2025.

Mikel Arteta had said he was ready to play ahead of the game and he's clearly happy for him to get some minutes.

Saka underwent hamstring surgery at the end of last year, but he's worked back and now his return will boost the Gunners.

The fans give him a huge roaring standing ovation.

He'll have 25 minutes to make an impact tonight.

Attacking change

Ruben Amorim has made a half-time substitution.

And he's shuffled his pack to try and create more chances.

Manuel Ugarte has been replaced by Rasmus Hojlund, with Bruno Fernandes dropping back into a deeper role.

Hojlund will lead the line with Joshua Zirkzee in Fernandes' first-half position alongside Alejandro Garnacho.

Can the Dane make a difference?

Starboy

Arsenal have a new starboy: Ethan Nwaneri.

The 18-year-old has continued his breakout season this evening, providing the assist for Mikel Merino.

That took him to 10 goal involvements in all competitions this campaign (eight goals and two assists).

It means Nwaneri is the second-youngest player across Europe's big five leagues to reach that number, only behind Barcelona and Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal.

Arsenal still lead after Merino's goal and they're looking for another to wrap this game up.

Triple change

Graham Potter isn't happy.

He's made three half-time changes as his West Ham side trail against Wolves at Molineux.

Evan Ferguson, Luis Guilherme and Aaron Cresswell have all been taken off by Potter at the break.

Carlos Soler, Edson Alvarez and Niclas Fullkrug are on.

Fullkrug is making his first appearance since January 10 following a long lay-off due to injury.

Halfway mark

Nottingham Forest lead Man United at the break.

They're ahead in typical fashion too, scoring with one of their three shots of the game thanks to Anthony Elanga.

It was a brilliant run from Elanga, as he showed his former club what they're missing out wide.

Only Leicester (25) have conceded the opening goal in more matches among all Premier League sides than Man United (23).

And the opening goal in this one means they trail whilst looking to win consecutive league games for the first time this season...

Over for Ola

This isn't a sight Nottingham Forest fans will enjoy...

Ola Aina has been helped down the tunnel with an injury.

He's had a great season and has been part of a very strong Forest defence throughout their special campaign.

But he can't continue this evening and will now receive some more treatment in the changing rooms.

Alex Moreno takes his place.

At the same time, Danilo comes off for the hosts and that seems to be a tactical change by Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Brazilian midfielder is replaced by defender Morato and Forest seem to have moved to a back five.

Half time

We've reached the halfway mark in two of the three games.

Arsenal lead Fulham thanks to Mikel Merino's deflected strike, while Wolves are also in front thanks to a lucky flick.

The Gunners have had more of the ball but they haven't had many chances to double their lead just yet.

Meanwhile, Vitor Pereira's side have made it to the break ahead after a half that's seen West Ham struggle.

It's also been a feisty affair with Andre, Jose Sa and Konstantinos Mavropanos all being booked for dissent.

• Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
• Wolves 1-0 West Ham

Inches away

Man United should be level at the City Ground!

Diogo Dalot's flicked header from a corner looks destined to drop into the goal, but it comes back off the crossbar!

Matthijs De Ligt then scuffs the rebound and Nottingham Forest survive, remaining in front after half an hour.

United have been the better team so far, dominating the ball and having plenty of shots at goal.

But it's the hosts that lead despite having one shot all game.

Another one?

Another injury worry for Arsenal...

After Gabriel was forced off with a hamstring injury, Jurrien Timber has now just gone down with a knock.

He looks to have maybe jarred his knee and has had some treatment but fortunately, he seems okay to continue.

Losing another key defender would be incredibly unlucky.

Mikel Arteta needs to wrap his players up in bubble wrap.

GOAL! Wolves 1-0 West Ham: Jorgen Strand Larsen

At the same time as Anthony Elanga scored a brilliant goal to put Nottingham Forest in front, Wolves scored too.

Jorgen Strand Larsen makes it three goals in two as he shoots from the edge of the box and finds the net.

His strike took a deflection off of former-Wolves defender Max Kilman and beat Alphonse Areola.

As things stand, the hosts are 12 points clear of the bottom three, but there's plenty of time to go.
