In this episode we look back at Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Man City at the Etihad. There was some encouragement from the performance, although the result means the two sides will have to go neck and neck towards the finish line in this title race. We chat about the team Mikel Arteta selected, one which showed some real intent, the two quickfire goals in the first half, Arsenal's missing the chances to go ahead before City took the lead, and the late opportunity for Kai Havertz to nick a point. We also discuss the battle between Gabriel and Erling Haaland who might actually have done us a big favour in that head to head moment, as well as how the table shapes up now, listener questions about goal difference, summer signings, attack influence from full-backs, whether Arsenal can go on and win 5 in a row with the Champions League to contend with too, and lots more.
