  70. It is probably just easier to say, everyone on the bench is now on the pitch.

  There has been no change to the goalkeeping situation so we just need to find that one other player who stayed on.

  66. Lyon will be happier with their second half display so far, having conceded no more goals.

  54. The mid-season break imposed by the World Cup in Qatar is a concern for all teams they try to rediscover their form from before the break.

  From what we have seen so far, Arsenal do not have too much to worry about.
