Did Arsenal show Chelsea a lack of respect? Is there enough squad depth at Newcastle?

Author: Sky Sports February 6, 2026 Duration: 26:38

Jay Bothroyd joins Tom in the studio for today's Sky Sports FC and we start by asking if Arsenal showed Chelsea a lack of respect during the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. This after Chelsea head coach, Liam Rosenior, questioned why an Arsenal member of staff was in the wrong half of the pitch during the warm up. Chelsea fan Henry joins in the debate.

Plus, we hear from Eddie Howe as Newcastle prepare to fight on three fronts this season with key injuries in their ranks. Do Newcastle have enough depth in their squad to cope?

Finally, should Cristian Romero remain as Spurs' captain, given his recent apparent outburst on social media? We hear from Thomas Frank, who denies Romero is leading a player revolt at the club.
