CHRIS SUTTON: I was wrong! I thought injured Gabriel Jesus was 'irreplaceable', but Eddie Nketiah looks the real deal... and the Arsenal striker could help England cope if they lost Harry Kane

I got it wrong. Feel free to cut out those words and frame them because you won’t see me saying that often!

But on Eddie Nketiah, I got it wrong. I described Gabriel Jesus as ‘irreplaceable’ when he was injured. I thought Arsenal would struggle without him. Admit it, you probably did, too.

His high press. His link-up play. His creativity. His leadership, having come from a club in Manchester City that demands nothing less than winning. All were key to Arsenal turning into surprise title contenders and suddenly, Mikel Arteta was facing months without those attributes.
