Arsenal Power Rankings: Nketiah rockets up rankings after United brace

Through a mix of analytics from several data sources, fan player ratings, transfermarkt value and more, we calculate and report The Fresh Arsenal Power Rankings weekly, exclusively in this newsletter. Rankings will be altered based on recent performance (last 6 games) as well as being anchored by season-long data. Every week we will show you the updated rankings with some performance observations as to why these changes have happened.

Risers: It was a huge day for Eddie Nketiah. Since the injury to Gabriel Jesus, many worried how we would manage. Eddie has chipped in with goals and improved every game, but with two goals against United, including an instinctive last minute winner, he announced himself onto the world stage.

After a spectacular goal, Bukayo Saka has moved back to #1 ahead of Odegaard, the pair jostling for top spot all month.

Fallers: Mr consistent, Benjamin White, had a difficult afternoon. An early yellow card against the in-form Marcus Rashford saw him limited in effectiveness and he was replaced at half time. Aaron Ramsdale, who crept up to 6th place last week thanks to a man of the match display at Spurs, fell back to 11th after a mixed display against United.
