Withdrawn after quiet midfield display

Guimaraes recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Analysis: Guimaraes recorded one inaccurate cross without attempting a shot across 66 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He helped Arsenal dominate possession during the first half and made an important block from a dangerous Forest free kick shortly before halftime, although the hosts' compact defensive structure limited his influence in advanced areas. Guimaraes was replaced by Mikel Merino as part of coach Mikel Arteta's triple substitution midway through the second half, with Arsenal still searching for the breakthrough.

Unlucky in front of goal

Bruno Guimaraes recorded five shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Lille.

Analysis: Guimaraes did not lack volume, but his finishing could've been better as only two of his shots were on target. He remains a force in midfield with three interceptions, and he has a good chance to be among the goals if he has this level of volume against Nottingham Forest. The side barely escaped relegation a season ago, and has already conceded eight times in six matches.
