Viktor Gyokeres' future Arsenal role sparked a debate between Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher as they disagreed over Mikel Arteta's plans for the new forward in north London

But Carragher believes that the 27-year-old may soon find himself starting from the bench, with the former Liverpool defender tipping Kai Havertz to make a return to the starting XI for the trip to Anfield the week after. ‘If I’m being honest, I think they will go back to Havertz in the big games,’ Carragher said on Sky Sports.

Ruben Amorim denied us the ‘battle of the new No.9s’ we were after from the off at Old Trafford, with Benjamin Sesko’s introduction after 65 minutes meaning he and Viktor Gyokeres were never on the pitch at the same time. And yet, we still got we wanted: the opportunity for a knee-jerk reaction. Gyokeres was – and therefore is – rubbish.
