Arsenal title race

I don't think you could say Arsenal are playing well enough at the minute that they will definitely win the other six games. They haven't really played particularly well, they've won three of them by a single goal.

Max Dowman coming on is the catalyst to them getting what is a massive three points. It could become a really, really iconic Premier League moment.

Manchester City form

They've gone from being this sort of absolutely extraordinary unbeatable team to just being a normal good team.

They just lack a little bit of creativity and urgency in the final third, City. They control games, but they're dropping points against teams that will quite obviously defend deeper.

I think something got lost within Manchester City last season and as this season's gone on, I think that fear factor now has gone. Teams have learned how to nullify Haaland.

Dan Bardell

Liverpool form

You cannot underestimate the loss of Jota. And I look at Salah and he looks like a person to me that's just gone, 'What am I doing? I've lost someone.' It's affected him in a really understandably strong way.

Lucy Ward

Aston Villa form

Everything around Aston Villa feels broken. I can't remember the last time Ollie Watkins had a shot. Emery's tried to be more resolute and that's actually made the defence worse.

Arsenal youth development

It takes a really brave manager to just put the kids in. Mikel Arteta has not really been known as a 'playing the kids' sort of manager, but if I see something on the training ground that is good, then they replicate it.

Manchester United manager search

It's really hard to judge whether Michael Carrick is any good or not. You've got to have a feel for what's happening on the training ground and if players are just happy because suddenly they're allowed to play in the positions where they're at their best.

Champions League qualification

It's nonsensical that you could have seven teams in the Champions League. We've got to stop that.

Chelsea FC

The Chelsea huddle is just absolutely unnecessary performative rubbish. It's like everybody's talking about that and no one's talking about the game.
