The weekend was one of mixed emotions for Arsenal fans. On one hand, Liverpool leapfrogged them into first place, but on the other, they came away from the Etihad with a point.

It's the first time since May 2016 that the Gunners have avoided defeat away to Manchester City, and while it would've been better to collect all three points, one still keeps them in the Premier League title race.

It was a result built largely on an immense defensive effort from the entire XI, with very few chances coming for the likes of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus.

That said, the Brazilian probably had the best chances for the north Londoners, and while he certainly wasn't terrible, he probably shouldn't start tonight.

Gabriel Jesus' performance against City

It's been an interesting season for the former City man. Despite looking dangerous in the Champions League and racking up six goal involvements in as many games, he's struggled to do the same in the Premier League, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 20 games.

This lacklustre form has only been exacerbated by his consistent injury problems, which have seen him miss 16 games this season and the fact that, in his absence, the team seems to have found their best form with Havertz as a spearhead.

However, the "tremendous" São Paulo-born gem, as Arteta described him, is clearly a fantastically talented player, and so it makes sense for the Spaniard to try what he did at the Etihad and start the 26-year-old on the left of a three.

This could well be the best way to get the most out of Jesus going forward, but in Sunday's game, he still struggled to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

It's an opinion shared by GOAL's Charlie Watts, who gave him a 6/10 on the day and wrote that he was both 'lively and frustrating', an assessment backed up by his individual statistics from the game.

In his 72 minutes of action, the right-footed marksman registered an expected goals figure of 0.17 and an expected assists figure of 0.26. He took two shots that were off target, succeeded in three of his four dribbles, was accurate in just 80% of his passes, lost eight of his 12 duels, was dribbled past twice, and committed three fouls.

Lastly, while dangerous, Jesus couldn't provide Arsenal with a genuine outlet to relieve the immense pressure they were under. So, for tonight's game against Luton Town, Arteta should drop him to the bench.

Why Gabriel Martinelli should start

Yes, the player in question is the incredibly dynamic Gabriel Martinelli, and there are two key reasons why he should be selected to start ahead of Jesus.

The first reason is simple: he's Arsenal's best left winger. In 46 games last year, the "sensational talent", as U23 scout Antonio Mango described him, scored 15 goals and provided six assists. While his return of eight goals and five assists this season is a little underwhelming, he has still looked incredibly dangerous when on the pitch.

The 22-year-old's blistering pace and tenacious style of play have made him an essential element to how Arsenal attack teams. His ability to break down the left, push back the defending team and bring his teammates into play will be crucial if Arsenal are to end their two-decade title drought this season.

It should be no surprise that the three games he hasn't started recently have also coincided with a drop in the goals scored by his teammates.

Reason number two is related to that, and it's all about his match sharpness.

When Arteta introduced the former Ituano gem towards the end of the City game, it was quite clear that he wasn't up to speed yet. So a game against a much easier opponent at the Emirates is the perfect opportunity to play him back to full readiness, especially with the two legs against Bayern Munich just around the corner.

Ultimately, the Gunners will likely prove too strong for the Hatters regardless of which Brazilian starts out on the left, but with there being no margin for error anymore, it is imperative that Martinelli is fit and ready to go for the rest of the run-in.

The remaining two ODIs of the ongoing series between India and South Africa will be played to empty stadiums. The development comes in the wake of the Indian government directing the BCCI and other national sporting federations including the Indian Olympics Committee on Thursday to “avoid” mass gatherings at sporting events as it takes steps to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Lucknow will be hosting the second ODI on March 15 and Kolkata the final ODI on March 18.Officials at the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) and Cricket Association of Bengal confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that they had received the advisory issued by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports earlier in the day.The sports ministry’s advisory read: “To deal with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued advisories and advised the state governments to take appropriate action under the Epidemic Disease Act, 1897.”You are advised to adhere to advisories issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and ensure that no public gathering takes place in any sporting event. In the event the sporting event cannot be avoided, the same could be done without allowing gathering of the people, including spectators.”The UPCA, its secretary Yudhveer Singh said, consulted the BCCI once it had got the government advisory. “Once we received the note from the government we checked with BCCI and then decided to conduct the match without spectators,” Singh said.Former Bengal player Snehasish Ganguly, who is now the CAB secretary, too, said ticket sales were instantly stopped earlier on Thursday. “We have got a clear circular form the central government saying spectators not to be allowed for the matches in the stadium,” Snehasish, who is the elder brother of the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, said. “We stopped the ticket sales as soon as we got the government circular. We had sold 10,000 tickets on . We had also started selling tickets to the [CAB] clubs from Wednesday, but that has also been stopped. The gate sales were scheduled to commence from tomorrow, but that will not happen now.”Snehasish said that financially the staging associations would be affected but the CAB understood these were “sensitive” times and it would comply with the directives.Later on Thursday evening, the BCCI sent out a statement saying it was “working closely with the Government of India along with Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare” and after holding discussions with both ministries, it decided that the remaining two ODIs “will be played without any public gathering, including spectators”.For the first ODI in Dharamsala, a decent crowd turned out on Thursday despite the spectre of the pandemic as well rain threat looming large. In the end, the match was washed out without a ball being bowled.

The former South Africa batsman will link up with the team before their T20I series against Ireland in March

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Jan-2020Afghanistan’s coaching staff, helmed by Lance Klusener, has been bolstered by the appointment of HD Ackerman, the former South Africa Test batsman, cricket commentator and columnist.The Afghanistan Cricket Board confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that Ackerman, 46, would start work with the team on March 1, ahead of the national team’s three-T20I series in India against Ireland, which will be followed by a one-off Test. His contract will run till the end of 2020. Ackerman played four Test matches for South Africa, two against Pakistan and two against Sri Lanka, all at home in 1998, scoring one half-century in aggregating 161 runs at an average of 20.12. He had a much more fruitful time in first-class cricket, though, playing the 1993-94 season all the way to mid-2009, in which he scored 14,625 runs, including a triple-century, at an average of 43.65 in 220 outings. He also played 230 List A matches and 55 T20s.The T20I series against Ireland will be played in Greater Noida, near the Indian capital of New Delhi, on March 6, 8 and 10.

If Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Manchester United decide to sack Erik ten Hag before the end of the season, or once it's concluded, then they could enter a congested manager market.

Arch-rivals Liverpool are already searching for a new boss after Jurgen Klopp confirmed that he'd be stepping down in the summer, while Barcelona are in the same boat after Xavi announced his attention to leave. Bayern Munich are the latest to enter the fold after opting to part company with Thomas Tuchel amid their struggles in the Bundesliga.

Man Utd have made approach for £26m Spurs target who Jose Mourinho loves

Elsewhere, there's uncertainty around Premier League rivals Chelsea and their boss Mauricio Pochettino after a defeat to injury-hit Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. The Argentine had a chance to relieve the pressure on his shoulders, with the Blues down in 11th in the table, but his stock may now have fallen further.

Man Utd eyeing Inzaghi swoop

Now, according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport (via Football Italia), some of those clubs could pursue Inter boss Simone Inzaghi. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have all "started to gather information" with a view to possibly making a move at the end of the season.

Inzaghi is happy at Inter right now, but his current contract is due to expire in just over 12 months' time. He's seeking a two-year extension to his current €5.5m per year deal, but his Premier League suitors, including Ratcliffe and Man Utd, could be willing to offer as much as €9m, which works out at around £150,000 a week. Barcelona are also admirers, but it's unclear whether they can match that kind of financial package.

"Fantastic" Inzaghi is turning Inter into a European force

Described as a "fantastic" coach by talent scout Jacek Kulig, Inzaghi started out as the manager of Lazio from 2016 to 2021. He won the Coppa Italia in 2018/19, having been runner-up two years earlier, and then joined Inter following the departure of Antonio Conte.

In his first season, he delivered the Coppa Italia to soften the blow of narrowly missing out to Milan in the title race, and while they dropped a place to third last term, they truly made headlines in other competitions. In addition to retaining the cup, Inzaghi led Inter to the final of the Champions League, where they narrowly lost to Manchester City.

Everything has come together beautifully this year, and the Nerazzurri are running away with the league. After winning 21 and losing just one of their first 25 games, they sit nine points clear of Juventus at the top of the table.

Across Europe's big five leagues, only Bayer Leverkusen (2.65) can better their record of 2.64 points per match, and nobody can match their average of 0.48 goals conceded per game, nor their goal difference of +51. That solidity hasn't come at the expense of attacking fireworks, though, with only Bayern (2.7) and Leverkusen (2.48) averaging more goals than their 2.44.

Inzaghi, named the Serie A coach of the month for October and January, is producing one of the outstanding managerial efforts in European football right now, and so it's inevitable that clubs like United are taking notice.

Agent Ali Barat has pulled back the curtain on Dean Huijsen's summer transfer to Real Madrid, revealing 'more than seven' clubs were in the running. Barat described the deal as 'very easy' thanks to a £50 million release clause and the Spanish defender's clear desire to fulfil his lifelong 'dream' of playing for Los Blancos.

Barat reveals the nature of Huijsen

Barat has revealed that Madrid beat "more than seven" other top clubs to the signing of defender Huijsen, describing the process as "very easy" due to the player's lifelong "dream" of moving to the Santiago Bernabeu. Speaking to , Barat detailed the straightforward nature of the blockbuster transfer.

Despite significant interest in the 20-year-old from across Europe, Barat explained that a release clause in the player's contract simplified the negotiations. The main task was to present the various projects to the defender and his family before a final decision was made.

"With Dean, it was very easy," Barat said. "I think there were more than seven clubs that wanted him. There was a £50 million clause too. So there were no real negotiations to do with the club, which made the job much easier. It was just a matter of visiting all the clubs, listening to all the projects."

'His dream was to play for Real Madrid'

Once the options were presented, the agent confirmed that the player's personal ambition made the final choice a simple one. Barat noted that Huijsen's connection to Spain made the move particularly meaningful.

"We sat down with Dean and his family to make his choice," he continued. "For him, it was clear: his dream was to play for Real Madrid. He's a Spanish international. So I think for him, it was even more important. Plus, he was a Real Madrid fan when he was younger."

Getty Images SportWhat next for Huijsen after controversial suspension?

Huijsen has started his career in Madrid brightly, but will be forced to watch from the sidelines this weekend. The centre-back is set to miss Saturday's La Liga match against Espanyol after the Spanish Football Federation's appeals committee controversially upheld a one-match ban for a red card he received in the 2-1 win over Real Sociedad.

The suspension was confirmed despite Spain's refereeing committee (CTA) admitting in a video review that a yellow card would have been the "most appropriate punishment." The decision prompted a frustrated reaction from the player, who posted on Instagram: "They admit the mistake but I'm still punished. A good image for Spanish football."
