Mikel Arteta has rebuilt Arsenal from the ground up — but the journey wasn’t simple.

In this episode, I break down how Arsenal went from a team with no identity to one of the most complete sides in Europe.

We look at the state of the club before Arteta arrived, the culture shift he brought in, the hits and misses in the transfer market, the 2021 window that changed everything, and how he created the perfect balance between physicality and technical quality.

I also explain what Arsenal still need to take the final step and become a dominant force in England and Europe.

Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool all have massive runs coming up — so how many points will they take from their next five Premier League games?

In this GW12 preview, I break down each team’s fixtures, form and momentum, and give my predicted points total for all three clubs. I also reveal my friends’ predictions to see how they compare.

Perfect for anyone following the title race closely.

Only three managers in Premier League history have ever retained the title. In this episode, I break down why going back-to-back is so difficult - from fixture timing and new-manager bounce to injuries, squad depth and the mental side of winning. A clear look at what separates champions from the greats.

I couldn't get this thought out my head after the weekends games that the way the Premier League has gone, plus Hearts in Scotland right now has taken a lot of of us by surprise.

Arteta and Arsenal have been laughed at for how they play over the last 18 months, but seem to have been ahead of the curve while Liverpool look like they haven't built a side capable to handle this version of the Premier League.

Meanwhile in Scotland different thinking is also laughed at yet Hearts have blocked out the noise and shut up those who have laughed for now.

Interesting times.

The blockbuster fixture this weekend is in Edinburgh at Tynecastle Park as Hearts take on Celtic in what could be a pivotal moment for the SPFL.

Im going Hearts to win 2-1 and everything to explode. Thoughts?
