In this episode we look back at Sunday’s 4-1 FA Cup win over Portsmouth. We discuss the ten changes Mikel Arteta has made to his side, and whether that has contributed to a dubious start for the Gunners, before focusing on Gabriel Martinelli’s fine hat-trick, the ups and downs of Noni Madueke’s performance, Kai Havertz’s return after such a long absence, and how nice it was to experience a match without all the stress and anxiety that has been part of the Premier League season so far. We also answer questions about Myles Lewis-Skelly, the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea, links to Marc Guehi, as well as reactions to the Per Mertesacker news and much more.
