    Should Arsenal sell Gabriel Jesus?

    James McNicholas and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss the future of Arsenal's number 9.

    Gabriel Jesus looks a far cry from the player who took us to a new level in the first half of last season, with only four Premier League goals this campaign.

    Have this team out grown him, and should Mikel Arteta look to sell? Or can he get back to the form we know he's capable of?

    Plus, what could Jorginho's contract offer mean for Thomas Partey, and a look ahead to Saturday's home fixture against Bournemouth... Let's hope it's less stressful than last time.

    Havertz and Saka shine in absurd north London derby

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on another ludicrous north London derby, as Arsenal beat Spurs 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Mikel Arteta's side have showed their maturity since the defeats to Villa and Bayern, and the win over Spurs emphasised their resilience.

    Despite not being at our best, including gifting Spurs two goals, we held on for a deserved and incredibly important win.

    The panel discuss stand-out performers Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with the former having his best week in an Arsenal shirt to date.

    Plus, St Totteringham's day, Ben White's antics, and Mikel Arteta's 'Untouchables'.

    3 cup finals down, 3 to go...

    It's a case of one down, five more finals to go, then, and it starts on Tuesday with Chelsea. Does Arteta rotate and rest anyone ahead of the North London derby?

    Villa dent title hopes, how Arsenal respond is key

    James McNicholas and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's disappointing home defeat to Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

    The Gunners failed to capitalise on Crystal Palace's victory at Anfield, meaning it's Manchester who lead the way with a 2 point gap at the top.

    The panel discuss whether Mikel Arteta's side have outgrown Zinchenko, and if moving Havertz into midfield was a mistake.

    With Bayern Munich up next in the Champions League, and the tie in the balance, this could be a season defining week - how will Arsenal respond?

    Plus, a thrashing in the WSL as Arsenal beat Bristol City 5-0, and Bundesliga champion, Granit Xhaka.

    Honours even, all to play for in Munich

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.

    The panel break down the penalty shouts at both ends, as well as the mistakes and missed chances that cost Mikel Arteta's side.

    It was the Gunners first Champions League Quarter Final in 14 years, did the performance show the lack of experience they have in Europe? 

    Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus made the difference off the bench, should they come into the starting XI at the Allianz?

    Plus, death, taxes and a Harry Kane penalty, and a look ahead to Villa's visit on Sunday.
