Tabs is joined by Ian (aka @AskCannonPics) to reflect on Arsenal’s gritty 1–0 win over Crystal Palace. It wasn’t the most exhilarating performance, but it was professional, controlled, and enough to keep the pressure on at the top. The pair discuss Eze’s first Premier League goal for Arsenal, defensive dominance, and the growing injury list — plus a preview of Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash against Brighton.

📌 Topics covered in this episode:

• Eze’s kung-fu finish and adapting to Arsenal’s system
• Rice injury concerns and squad depth management
• Set-piece supremacy and rival fans’ frustration
• Trossard’s standout performance and Martinelli’s cameo
• Palace’s deep block and Arsenal’s tactical patience
• Defensive control and post-Europe fatigue
• Nine different scorers in nine goals: spreading the load
• Tabs’ in-person hate-watch of Liverpool’s loss to Brentford
• Why grinding out wins is title-winning behaviour
• Preview of Arsenal vs Brighton in the EFL Cup
