    Havertz and Saka shine in absurd north London derby

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on another ludicrous north London derby, as Arsenal beat Spurs 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Despite not being at our best, including gifting Spurs two goals, we held on for a deserved and incredibly important win.
    The panel discuss stand-out performers Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with the former having his best week in an Arsenal shirt to date.
    Plus, St Totteringham's day, Ben White's antics, and Mikel Arteta's 'Untouchables'.

    Chelsea crushed - the perfect preparation for Spurs

    Ian Stone has Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché on board to look back on a near-perfect performance by the Gunners in that incredible 5-0 defeat of Chelsea - not a bad way to prepare for the North London derby on Sunday. Do we make any changes for Spurs, or stick with the boys who did so incredibly well on Tuesday? Plus: the return of Jurrien Timber, and considerable amounts of love for the continued magnificence of Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz. Look out for Amy Lawrence's piece on our new favourite German.

    Top of the table again!

    Arsenal went to Wolves at the weekend and came away with the necessary win to head back to the top of the table once more and put a dreadful week behind them - and Ian Stone, Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke are all about channeling the positivity for this episode of Handbrake Off.  
    It's a case of one down, five more finals to go, then, and it starts on Tuesday with Chelsea. Does Arteta rotate and rest anyone ahead of the North London derby?

    Villa dent title hopes, how Arsenal respond is key

    Villa dent title hopes, how Arsenal respond is key

    James McNicholas and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's disappointing home defeat to Unai Emery's Aston Villa.
    The Gunners failed to capitalise on Crystal Palace's victory at Anfield, meaning it's Manchester who lead the way with a 2 point gap at the top.
    The panel discuss whether Mikel Arteta's side have outgrown Zinchenko, and if moving Havertz into midfield was a mistake.
    With Bayern Munich up next in the Champions League, and the tie in the balance, this could be a season defining week - how will Arsenal respond?
    Plus, a thrashing in the WSL as Arsenal beat Bristol City 5-0, and Bundesliga champion, Granit Xhaka.

    Honours even, all to play for in Munich

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.
    The panel break down the penalty shouts at both ends, as well as the mistakes and missed chances that cost Mikel Arteta's side.
    It was the Gunners first Champions League Quarter Final in 14 years, did the performance show the lack of experience they have in Europe? 
    Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus made the difference off the bench, should they come into the starting XI at the Allianz?
    Plus, death, taxes and a Harry Kane penalty, and a look ahead to Villa's visit on Sunday.
