🔮 A statement via the Premier League website reads: “Despite being sent off for two bookable offences in Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and receiving an automatic one-match suspension, Cole Palmer will not miss any Premier League matches.
🔮 The 16-year-old sensation will now serve a three-match suspension after Arsenal’s appeal against his red card was dismissed by the Football Association (FA) on Thursday, meaning he will definitely not play any part against Liverpool as Arteta faces problems out wide.
🔮 A booking at Anfield would move Arteta onto three yellow cards - which for managers guarantees a one-match suspension - so the Gunners boss would have to serve a touchline ban six days later at home to Hull in the final game before the November international break.
🔮 Fleetwood’s reward for beating Premier League champions Arsenal on Tuesday night is another home tie, though they will have to wait until Thursday to find out their opponents as Everton face Newcastle in the final fourth round clash.
🔮 Following the conclusion of the fourth-round ties, 16 teams will have become just eight as they discover who they will face off against in December to reach the two-legged semi-finals.
🔮 As Arsenal have key injuries in wide areas and now Dowman’s suspension has been added to the mix, supporters will be desperate for a positive update on Madueke before the Liverpool game.
🔮 As such, it was not much of a surprise too see the midfielder absent from the Gunners’ matchday squad against Fleetwood as he was expected to have been given the night off in preparation for Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Anfield.
🔮 PSG took home the men’s award, though the majority of the squad couldn’t be in attendance due to their Ligue 1 fixture away to rivals Lyon being rearranged for the evening of the ceremony.
🔮 London Palladium plays host to the 2026 ceremony on Monday evening as the best footballers in the world over the past 12 months will be crowned.
🔮 However, the victory may have come at a cost.
