In this episode we chat about the 2-0 win over Lyon in the Emirates Cup, and focus on how a familiar looking team won a game in a familiar way as our set-piece prowess was on show again. There's discussion of some key individuals, the debut for Riccardo Calafiori, and whether the absence of Eddie Nketiah is a signal about his future as rumours involving Marseille continue. We also answer listener questions about positions and skill-sets, what Arsenal still need to do in the transfer window ahead of the new season, Pedro Neto and Mykhaylo Mudryk, our preferred starting XI for Wolves, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about last night's 4-1 friendly win over Bayer Leverkusen. We analyse the very familiar looking team line-up in the context of Mikel Arteta's comments about needing more from the players we have, leading to discussion of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz among others. There's also some focus on young players like Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri after they impress again, but how do you find the balance between their integration and further additions to the squad? There's some transfer discussion, Arteta's pickpocketing high jinx, and a goodbye from an old (angry) friend.

We also chat about some potential departures, what we need to see from Fabio Vieira this season, Ethan Nwaneri and how pre-season could be very important for him, and lots more, including some US tour chat
