The Arsenal Beat

Mark is here for his hat-trick and he is joined today by Simon Collings of the Evening Standard and the Athletic’s Art De Roche. They discuss Granit Xhaka’s red card in the Burnley defeat, the return of Gabriel Martinelli and their favourite away match as an Arsenal reporter. PA Media’s chief football writer - and Southampton fan - Simon Peach also pops by to preview Wednesday’s Premier League clash.

Mark and Sam return for a preview of Sunday’s Premier League visit of Burnley. They are also joined by Charles Watts, Arsenal reporter for Goal, to discuss whether playing in front of a crowd will be a positive or negative experience in the current climate, how to start scoring more goals and Sam’s Daily Telegraph article on the reliance on a misfiring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They also pick the best individual performance they’ve seen while covering Arsenal.

In the debut show we get to know our first three members of the Arsenal Beat as Mark, Sam and James discuss any positives from the north London derby defeat, what next for Arteta and James’ ESPN exclusive from last week. They also pick their favourite Arsenal goal.
