Arsenal v Villa: Must-Win for Arteta? Was Amorim Wrong to Allow Media Influence Tactics?

Tom White and Charlie Austin preview Arsenal v Aston Villa and debate who should lead the line for Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal fan Scarlett joins us to discuss whether the clash is a must-win for the Gunners. 

Meanwhile, Villa fan Justin joins us to highlight Unai Emery’s excellent run, though Charlie believes it will remain a two-horse title race regardless of the result at the Emirates.

Next, Manchester United fan Hannah joins us to discuss whether fans and media pressure have influenced Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach.

Finally, we ask whether Nottingham Forest were right to complain about the officiating in their defeat to Manchester City, with Charlie arguing that Rúben Dias should have been sent off.

Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.
