Tom White and Jay Bothroyd break down Arsenal’s current form after going three league games without a win. We hear from Mikel Arteta ahead of a crucial weekend clash with Leeds — it’s been a strong season overall, but are Arsenal starting to feel the pressure? And with form dipping, should Martin Ødegaard still be wearing the armband?

Next, Aston Villa fan James joins us to assess how damaging Ollie Watkins’ hamstring injury could be to Villa’s title ambitions.

Finally, Manchester United fan James stops by to debate whether Michael Carrick can keep an impressive winning run rolling.
