In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to chat about Wednesday evening's 2-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup. We chat about Mikel Arteta's team selection, which saw 10 changes from the team that beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, and included a 15 year old and a 17 year old debutant. Two 'older' young players combined for the opening goal, before Bukayo Saka made it safe. We discuss the game, the performance, the draw for the next round, Arsenal's defensive record and lots more.

Then, on the reissue of his book about Highbury, I chat to Jon Spurling about the old stadium, its place in Arsenal hearts and the community, some of the stories within the book itself, and how it all relates to the new stadium. Plus you can win a copy of the book too.

Highbury is published by Orion – https://www.orionbooks.co.uk/titles/jon-spurling/highbury/9781409153061/ – and if possible please order the book via your local independent bookstore!
