He was included as a reserve in Arsenal's match against Manchester City in the Premier League.

In the League Cup, Jack Porter got to stand between the posts – and thus became the youngest player ever to start a match for the London team.

Porter, 16 years and 72 days old, debuted earlier than Cesc Fabregas, who was 16 years and 177 days old in the match against Rotherham in October 2003.

Arsenal had a relatively easy match away against Bolton, winning 5–1.

Two-goal scorer Ethan Nwaneri still holds the record for being the youngest player to play for Arsenal. The now 17-year-old midfielder was 15 years and 181 days old when he was substituted in a match in 2022.

Liverpool won at home against West Ham with 5–1 after, among other things, two goals each from Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo.
