Brian Durham Jr., 16, was working at a Wendy’s location in Phoenix on Thursday night, positioned at the drive-thru cash register with another employee manning the window, his father, Brian Durham Sr., told Fox 11 News.

Arsenal 6/1 to beat City with dabblebet City have been dominant this season, holding a five-point advantage at the top after scoring 35 goals and conceding just six in 10 league games.

Please remember that any of the sleeper picks below could wind up busting this week. We will always take some chances with our sleeper picks because naming “must-starts” doesn’t help anyone. You shouldn’t start the players below over proven studs, but if your roster is set in season-long leagues, you probably don’t need our recommendations anyway. If nothing else, our sleeper picks can help you spot DFS values, as the prices of these players should be affordable....

As it happened, Welbeck missed the spot-kick, but Wenger felt the striker was wrong to try and score given it had been wrongly awarded....
