Kai Havertz - Assist during loss Havertz recorded one assist on one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Havertz started Saturday and would see one of the few bright spots for Arsenal in the loss, recording an assist on Viktor Gyokeres' goal in the 68th minute. This is his second goal contribution in four appearances, as Havertz bagged a goal in UCL play against Leverkusen. He continues to see a rotational role recently, with three starts in their past six appearances.

Martin Zubimendi - 11 minutes from bench Zubimendi appeared for 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Zubimendi returned to play Saturday after he was forced to drop out of the Spanish national team due to injury, only appearing for 11 minutes off the bench in the loss. The good news is he is fit again as they head into UCL play against Sporting on Tuesday, likely to start alongside Declan Rice (undisclosed ) and Martin Odegaard in the midfield.

William Saliba - Plays 18 minutes Saliba played 18 minutes from the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Saliba failed to start Saturday but still saw the field as his club dropped out of FA Cup play, appearing for 18 minutes to end the match. However, the star defender couldn't do much to help, with Southampton scoring six minutes after he entered. Even more concerning for the defender, he replaced Gabriel, his defensive partner, due to injury. That said, he may need to play a major role when facing Sporting on Tuesday.

Martin Odegaard - Starts, plays 61 minutes Odegaard recorded two shots (one on target) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Odegaard returned to play in FA Cup play Saturday, appearing in a match for the first time since Feb. 22 due to injury. Unfortunately for the midfielder, it was a rough match to return in, recording three chances created but still seeing his side lose. He will now focus on getting back up to speed for UCL and league play as his club tries not to squander another trophy.

Viktor Gyokeres - Finds back of net Gyokeres scored one goal on two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Gyokeres was back on the scoresheet Saturday after coming off the bench in the 60th minute, scoring just minutes later in the 68th minute. This is his second goal in their last three games, scoring against Everton in league play as well. The forward is up to 16 goals in 39 appearances this season between UCL, FA Cup and league play.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Struggles again Arrizabalaga recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Arrizabalaga struggled in the Carabao Cup final and once again had a rough Cup outing, allowing two against Championship side Southampton on Saturday. He will likely return to the bench for the rest of the campaign as Arsenal chases down league and UCL glory, with David Raya to return to his starting role.
