Goal leads to accolade Havertz recorded one goal on one shot in Sunday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Havertz would have the lone goal of Sunday's outing, securing the win early for Arsenal in the 16th minute. This would put the versatile forward into the history books, as he is now the all-time leading German goal scorer in Premier League play, topping a list of plenty of prominent names. He is up to three goals in his nine appearances (eight starts) this season, still in search of an assist.

Misses chances before early exit Havertz generated two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Havertz recorded two shots (neither on target) and two crosses (one accurate) across 66 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He headed over from Declan Rice's first-half free kick before firing into the side netting after being released by Martin Odegaard, with Arsenal struggling to create clear opportunities against Forest's compact defensive setup. Havertz was replaced by Viktor Gyokeres midway through the second half as coach Mikel Arteta searched for a breakthrough, ending another frustrating attacking performance without a direct goal contribution.

Assists off the bench Havertz assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Lille. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Havertz provided a good moment for Arsenal off the bench as the Gunners tried to get a result after failing to score for the first hour or so. The forward should be back in the starting lineup against Nottingham Forest and has a good matchup, as Nottingham Forest allowed 51 goals in EPL play in the 2025-26 season.

Blanks in start against Leeds Havertz endured a quiet afternoon in Arsenal's victory over Leeds, departing in the 63rd minute without a goal contribution.

Impact Havertz registered only two shots and an xG of 0.26 despite Arsenal scoring two against Leeds United on Saturday. The striker also had only four touches in the opposition box. He failed to make a significant impact and was replaced by Viktor Gyokeres in the 63rd minute. Havertz has now scored two goals in six starts for the Gunners, and his recent performance might insinuate competition for the starting striker role.

Finds starting role Havertz (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Impact Havertz is cleared to start after suffering a hamstring injury during Germany's opening match of the international break and returning early to Arsenal for assessment. Initial tests reportedly ruled out a serious issue, and he has now overcome the concern to retain a starting role. The attacker will look to build on a strong start to the campaign, having recorded three goals across seven appearances.

Impact Havertz suffered a hamstring injury during Germany's opening match of the international break, forcing him to return to Arsenal for further assessment. Initial tests reportedly ruled out a serious issue, but coach Arteta's latest comments suggest the attacker has yet to be cleared for Saturday's matchup, leaving his availability dependent on a late fitness assessment. Havertz has enjoyed a strong start to the season, recording three goals across seven appearances, making his potential absence a significant blow to Arsenal's attack. If he is unable to feature against Leeds, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino would be the leading candidates to fill his role up front.

His status for Saturday's clash with Leeds remains up in the air, while the extent of the issue will determine whether he's facing any additional time on the sidelines. Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino are the leading candidates to spearhead the attack if Havertz is ruled out.
