Carl Rushworth: No chance with first two goals but a horror show for the third from Ben Davies. 5
Milan van Ewijk: Long throws a threat, especially in the first half. Caught an elbow when trying to challenge Marmoush for his goal. 6
Bobby Thomas: Vital headed clearance and tower of strength in defence. 7
Ethan Pinnock: Another dependable performance as Coventry looked solid and well-organised at the back.
De Cuyper has been the standout option, but covering the Arsenal defence also looks sensible.
Under Mikel Arteta, they should remain as the league’s best defensive unit, and Riccardo Calafiori (£5.9m) currently looks the strongest route in.
Elsewhere consider your defensive contribution points (defcon) magnets such as Leeds‘ Tarik Muharemovic (£5m), Brighton‘s Luka Vuskovic (£5.1m), Bournemouth‘s Antonio Silva (£5m) and Everton centre-back James Tarkowski (£6.2m).

David Raya: A smart save to stop Jayden Bogle and then an even better one to deny Gudmundsson soon after. The cross for the Leeds goal evaded him though. 6
Ben White: His header set-up Calafiori for the equaliser. Caught offside a couple of times when Arsenal were building good attacks in the first half. The Leeds goal came down his side. 6

Malick Yalcouye, a £6m signing from Gothenburg, spent the past two years out on loan, first with Sturm Graz in Austria and then with Swansea City in the Championship.
The 20-year-old has two Premier League goals in his first five appearances.
Ibrahim Osman, a £17m capture from Danish side
As Premier League football returns following a three-week hiatus, rival clubs are proving reluctant to let their managers speak about the City verdict publicly.
Managers and head coaches – including Maresca on Friday – will be asked to comment on the matter during compulsory pre-match press conferences.
But it is understood a number of clubs have already taken a clear stance for their managers not to comment.

Uefa has said 611 clubs will benefit from the current cycle of payments.
This will likely rise to more than 900 when including the full Euro 2028 tournament, as was the case in the 2024 competition.
