There has been plenty of excitement surrounding Arsenal academy prospect Max Dowman in recent months, but did the 16-year-old truly arrive with a fine display in the 4-2 Carabao Cup third round win over Ipswich?

Emily is joined by The Sun's Simon Collings and Art de Roche of The Athletic to discuss Dowman's eye-catching performance and that of fellow Hale End star Marli Salmon.

Art invites listeners into his adventure into culinary awareness while Simon is stuck eating chilli in press rooms across the country.

The panel also debate the upcoming trip to Brighton and the resumption of the Fabian Hürzeler v Mikel Arteta rivalry and the ongoing struggles for Vikor Gyokeres.

Elsewhere, Arsenal have not enjoyed such a strong start in the Women's Super League, but could an Emirates Stadium clash against struggling Manchester United provide welcome respite?

A judo bout, a stunning strike and another win for the Premier League champions.

Emily is joined by Nick Callow from Hayters TV and debutant Tom Canton from the Mirror and football.london.

They discuss the key talking points from the Stadium of Light, the Carabao Cup trip to Ipswich and plenty in between.

Arsenal conceded for the first time this season but bounced back to beat Chelsea and continue their perfect start to their Premier League title defence.

Emily is joined by Simon Collings from The Sun and The Guardian's Ed Aarons to look back on the 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

In a week full of football acronyms, Arsenal once again put on a S.H.O.W. (Saka, Havertz, Odegaard, White)*.

Having missed out on a striker in the summer transfer window, the panel discuss if Kai Havertz can be the man to fire Arsenal to the title once again, how Ezri Konsa fared on his full debut and Martin Odegaard's fine start to the campaign.
