We mark our final podcast episode of 2020 as we review the festive period thus far with Arsenal’s massive 3-1 win over London rivals Chelsea and how outlandish youth selections such as Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith-Rowe going forward could rescue Mikel Arteta’s job and salvage the season along with the importance of not getting carried away and building on this big victory, as well as Manchester United’s 2-2 draw at Leicester in which they conceded a late equaliser through defensive frailties despite a decent attacking performance, and look into whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and players such as talisman Bruno Fernandes could mount a title charge should they go on a run. 

We also review Carabao Cup ties with Arsenal bowing out to Manchester City, as well as United potentially being in to win it as they get drawn in a semifinal Manchester derby. We give our takes on the Europa League draw, with knockout ties against Benfica and Real Sociedad drawn, and preview the continuing hectic schedule heading to New Years, with fixtures against Brighton and West Brom to come for the Gunners, as well as Wolves and Aston Villa for the Devils. 

We give our reaction to the sacking of PSG manager Thomas Tuchel and whether he or any other top manager could replace either of our bosses should they depart, as well as discussing fresh transfer rumours such as Julian Brandt and Moises Caicedo along with young pre-contract signings for January in Omar Rekik and Amad Diallo, with us also covering the unjustified exile of Arsenal’s young defender William Saliba and many more topics in another packed episode!
