The teams are in for this afternoon's blockbuster!

James’ Park.

Alexander Isak is eyeing a hat-trick and he’s also eyeing second place in the Premier League’s scoring charts.

His first-half double has seen him leapfrog Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood who’s had a very quiet game so far.

He’s now also level with Man City’s Erling Haaland.

Can he reach 20 for the season in the second half?

On top of that incredible achievement, Isak is now the highest-scoring Swedish player in Premier League history.

The striker has overtaken Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!

The winger then bends a finish into the back of the net, beating the returning Nick Pope at his near post.

Since the start of last season, no player has more Premier League goals from outside the box than Hudson-Odoi (7).

Only Stuart Pearce and Ian Woan (8 each) have scored more Premier League goals from outside the box for Forest than him.

Martin Odegaard says Arsenal cannot feel sorry for themselves after their defeat to West Ham left their Premier League title hopes hanging by a thread.

The Gunners failed to pile the pressure on Liverpool following a desperately poor performance at the Emirates.

The defeat leaves Arsenal eight points adrift of Liverpool, who have the chance to extend their lead to 11 points at Man City today.

Captain Odegaard said: "It's no time to feel sorry for ourselves.

"We have to keep going.

I think Arteta has done a remarkable job there, but this is unacceptable."

Marcus Rashford put in an excellent display for Aston Villa.

The Manchester United loanee was brought on for the second half in their win over Chelsea and made a huge impact.

Rashford assisted both of Marco Asensio's goals that completed the comeback at Villa Park.

It's the first time in five years that the 27-year-old has assisted two goals in a Premier League match.

He last did so for United in their 3-0 win against Sheffield United in June 2020.

Speaking afterwards, he said: "This is probably for me personally the toughest defeat of the season.
