Arsenal will face Middlesbrough in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Arsenal players were training on Friday ahead of this weekend’s game against Middlesbrough at home.
Arsenal will take on Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners will head into the game on the back of a 6-0 victory over Ludogorets Razgrad at the Emirates Stadium in Champions League Group A.

Arsene Wenger’s side are in great form at the moment and are very much in the running for the Premier League title.
The Arsenal players were training on Friday, and among those who attended the session was Rob Holding (see photo below).
Holding joined the Gunners from Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £2.5 million.
The 21-year-old is a highly-rated defender and is one for the future, but the youngster has yet to establish himself in the Arsenal first team.
| Passing Accuracy | Tackles Won | Interceptions Won | Ball Recovery | Headers Won | Outfielder Blocks | Effective Clearances | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rob Holding | 79% | 4 | 4 | 16 | 15 | 4 | 12 | 3 | 270 |

Perhaps Holding could feature for Arsenal against Middlesbrough, especially as the match is at home against a side who are not doing so well at the moment.
While the Gunners are level on points with leaders Manchester City in second place, Boro are just a place above the relegation zone.
