 The Gunners, under new boss Unai Emery, lost their opening two games of the season but haven't tasted defeat since

 They will look to make it 12 in a row at Crystal Palace today (1.30pm) as Emery sets his sights on the Premier League top four

 The Spaniard replaced Arsene Wenger as boss during the summer with Wenger having stagnated at the Emirates

 The Gunners finished sixth last season, though reached the semi-finals of the Europa League

 And Jenas is worried that the club won't make the top four with Arsenal's defence concerning the former Tottenham midfielder

 "With Arsenal, after 22 years of Arsene Wenger, it has obviously been magnified tenfold," Jenas wrote for the Mail

 "They look fitter and stronger, and I've no doubt training is more physical and competitive and the team is reaping the rewards of that

 "This side will always score goals and some, as against Fulham and Leicester, will be among the best we see

Going forwards they have the players to do that. "However, whether they can sustain this run and stay in the top four is questionable

I still don't think they will be good enough defensively over the season to do that

 "The back four doesn't convince me and that is usually the foundation for a top side

" Arsenal got their 11th consecutive win when they beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in midweek

 But former Gunners striker Paul Mariner has the same worries as Jenas. "My concern is that defence, I just cannot get over that defence," Mariner said

 "Going forward, the pace they've got, the one and two touch forward is breathtaking, it's fantastic

 "But defensively, they worry me to death and will continue to do so. "They gave up 13 shots against Sporting

If you're flying, if you're in sync, if everything is rolling, you don't give up 13 shots

 "It's a terrible Sporting Lisbon team, fifth in the league, they're absolutely atrocious

 "So it wasn't a massive test but my issue always will be this defence."

UK towns polarised by rise of far right UK news - Duration: 3:29.

UK towns polarised by rise of far right UK news

Anti-extremism commissioner Sarah Khan 'shocked by climate of intolerance'

Anti-extremism commissioner Sarah Khan 'shocked by climate of intolerance'

Communities across the UK have told Britain's first counter-extremism commissioner that they are increasingly facing "a climate of intolerance and polarisation".

Speaking several months into a nationwide investigation to quantify the scale and reach of extremism, Sara Khan said she had been shocked by the depth of disquiet expressed to her by the residents of the 13 towns and cities she has so far visited.

Khan, appointed by Theresa May in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack, told the : "I was really shocked that in every place I visited I heard deep concerns about the activity and impact of the far right.

"Councils across the country raised the impact the far-right demonstrations have on whole towns, exploiting tensions and stoking division. I repeatedly heard about a climate of intolerance and polarisation."

Khan has visited Middlesbrough, Manchester, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Birmingham, Luton and London among others, along with interviews from 400 experts, activists and civil society groups that together with a public consultation will help form a study to be published next spring.

One youth worker from the south of England told Khan of his fears that a "whole generation of vulnerable children" could be lost to the far right. Elsewhere, a local education group said it had seen increasing numbers of children making racist and extremist statements in schools.

Khan's appointment in January was criticised by some who claim she is too close to the government. But Khan said her investigations had detected a sense Britain was on the cusp of a fresh wave of rightwing extremism: "This backs up what experts have been telling me – that we are seeing a new wave of the far right: modernised, professionalised and growing; supported by a frightening amount of legal online extremist material."

Matthew Feldman, director of the centre for fascist, anti-fascist and post-fascist studies at Teesside University, said he was not surprised by Khan's initial findings: "I think this is the most propitious time for the radical right since the end of the second world war, that hasn't yet translated into activists, members or a party that might be able to overcome the first-past-the-post system."

Khan's comments come days after the country's most senior counter-terrorism officer, the Metropolitan police's Neil Basu, told the home affairs select committee that far-right extremists and Islamists were "feeding each other" and that police were currently presiding over 700 live terrorism investigations. Basu's predecesscor, Mark Rowley, said in August that the UK had not "woken up" to the threat posed by the far right.

Rowley warned the public and politicians not to underestimate the situation, describing how National Action, a proscribed neo-Nazi organisation, has "a strategy for a terrorist group" with online information on how to create discord in communities and evade police surveillance.

Home Office data shows that white people now constitute the largest proportion of arrested terrorism suspects for the first time in 13 years. Meanwhile, the number of people referred to the government's counter-extremism programme, Prevent, because of concerns over rightwing extremism has grown by more than a quarter.

Khan added: "Youth workers in the south feared vulnerable young people could easily be sucked into a world of hatred. In the north, refugees and those from a minority background spoke of their fear of leaving their home during far-right marches."

Khan also warned that the ideology of radical Islam was still proving seductive to some British youngsters. "In one city I heard concerns that we are losing many young Muslims to the toxic online narratives of Islamist extremists," she said.

Man Utd news: Dean Henderson fired David De Gea warning amid Championship form - EXCLUSIVE - Duration: 2:37.

 Manchester United shot-stopper Henderson is making a name for himself in the Championship, starring for Sheffield United

 The 21-year-old has played all 14 of the Blades' Championship fixtures so far this season, helping them up to third in the table along the way

 Recent reports have claimed Manchester United have been closely monitoring his development over at Bramall Lane as they mull over potential replacements for De Gea

 The Spain international, unsurprisingly, is in-demand. De Gea's current contract at the club expires in 2020 and, as things stand, a contract extension looks a long way off

 Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have both been tipped to sign the 27-year-old. And, with De Gea's future at Old Trafford up in the air, Henderson has been backed to be the club's long-term No 1

 However, former Premier League star and Quest pundit Stephen Warnock has now fired the youngster a warning

 He exclusively told Express Sport: "He's a great goalkeeper. "Sheffield United are really fortunate to have him and Billy Sharp scoring again

 "At one end, Sharpe is scoring. At the other, Henderson is saving shots that look destined for the top corner

 "Manchester United is a massive, massive step up though. "Especially replacing David De Gea, who has probably been their best player in recent times

 "That would be a huge ask, to come in and straight into the first team.  "He [Henderson] has a really bright future though

" Should De Gea leave, Henderson may face competition for the No 1 jersey. Sergio Romero would be in pole position to claim it, having proved a solid performer for the club since his arrival on a free transfer back in 2015

 Joel Pereira is highly rated by Jose Mourinho and is another candidate. And Lee Grant, who signed from Stoke in the summer, would no doubt be reluctant to give up without a fight

Police have appealed for information after three people died and another three were seriously injured in a major collision in north Wales involving two vehicles.

The crash, involving a Vauxhall Corsa and a Vauxhall Astra, happened in Denbighshire at about 7.30pm on Friday, police said.

Police closed the road between Denbigh and Trefnant for almost eight hours until it reopened just after 3am as they investigated the cause of the incident, which remains unclear.

Three people were taken to hospital. Another person had minor injuries after the crash.

North Wales police said the three grieving families were being supported by specially trained officers.

Supt Jane Banham thanked members of the public who assisted at the scene. She asked motorists to contact police if they had dashcam footage of events leading up to the incident.

"Inquiries in relation to this incident are ongoing and our officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone who believes they have any dashcam footage of the incident itself or footage of the vehicles in the moments leading up to the incident," she said.

The North Wales police federation tweeted: "This is an absolutely awful incident and our deepest condolences are with the bereaving families. This is also a deeply stressful and traumatic incident for our officers to attend and we will make sure they are looked after."
