Four Arsenal players were called up for England and their starters paid off.
England confirmed the squad squad for the international break on Thursday, with four Arsenal players on the list.
Saka and Ramsdale were not surprised to be selected, and it was gratifying to see Ben White return, with Smith Rowe still in the squad after scoring and assisting against San Marino in November.
Holden and Nketiah were not selected, but it doesn't look like they would have been able to make the list.
Niles is probably the most disappointing, compared to the team he has previously been to Southgate. But he hasn't won a place with the Three Lions during the current loan period.
Manchester City are another club with four finalists, namely Stones, Gralis, Foden and Sterling.
If you count Gallagher, Chelsea theoretically have three in the squad, while no more than two are selected for other clubs.
Arsenal's current starting line-up is basically all internationals, with Lacazette being the only club starter who is not active in the national team – we know his situation is not just a competitive factor.
With the World Cup drawing closer, all Arsenal internationals need to seize the opportunity to secure their positions.
England will face Switzerland and Côte d'Ivoire on 26 and 29 March.
