Alexis made two interceptions, provided an assist and scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's win over Chelsea.

Alexis opened the scoring when he dispossessed Gary Cahill and raced in on goal before chipping Thibaut Courtois in the 10th minute, and he helped cap off the scoring with a pass that Mesut Ozil finished in the 40th. Alexis has been in stellar form after an inauspicious start to the season, as he now has five goals and two assists in his last five matches, playing primarily as a striker. He will have the opportunity to continue his fine form Wednesday versus FC Basel in the Champions League.

Alexis scored a brace on five shot attempts and missed a penalty during Saturday's 4-1 away win versus Hull City.

Alexis was a bit fortunate as an Alex Iwobi shot nicked off of his foot to open the scoring in the 17th minute, although he was slightly unlucky as Eldin Jakupovic made a strong save on his penalty in the 40th minute. He completed his brace when he jumped on a loose ball in the box and buried it in the 83rd minute, however, and he now has four goals and an assist in his last four starts in all competitions. Alexis could be rested Tuesday versus Leicester City in the League Cup, but he will almost certainly feature in next Saturday's league fixture with Chelsea.

Arsenal is aiming to sign Sanchez to a new contract as the player has less than two years remaining on his current agreement, according to the Daily Mail.

Sanchez is reportedly seeking a pay increase along with a buyout clause in the new deal. He is one of a handle of players the club has targeted to tie down to new contracts this fall.

Alexis won two tackles, secured two interceptions and scored a goal on two shot attempts during Tuesday's 1-1 away draw with PSG in the Champions League.

Alexis started alone up front and struggled to make his mark on the game, but he came to life after moving to the wing and was able to pounce on a rebound in the 78th minute and muscled it past Alphonse Areola to salvage a point. Alexis has now won Man of the Match honors in each of his last two starts, totaling two goals and an assist, and he appears to be rounding into form heading into Saturday's matchup with Hull City.

Sanchez is in the 18-man squad for Saturday's match with Southampton.

Sanchez's late arrival from international duty means that he will be on the bench to start Saturday's match. New signing, Lucas Perez will start at forward for Arsenal.

Alexis is questionable for Saturday's match against Southampton after returning late from international duty, manager Arsene Wenger said on Friday.

Alexis did not return to England until late Thursday night, giving him minimal time to recover and train with the squad ahead of Saturday's match. Complicating matters further, Arsenal will play Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, giving Wenger a little more incentive to rest the Chilean star.

Sanchez scored a goal on three shots (three on target), tallied an assist and drew a penalty in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Watford.

Sanchez was every bit the world-class centre forward manager Arsene Wenger said he could be. In the ninth minute, he drew a penalty that led to the first goal of the match. On 40 minutes, he found the end of a Theo Walcott cross and managed it past the line for the second goal and played an inch-perfect cross to Mesut Ozil six minutes later for the third goal of the match. With Olivier Giroud returning, Sanchez will likely slip back out wide, but finally showed how to put his industry and work rate to good use as the high man up the pitch.
