Ciao and benvenuti to The Anglo Italian Pod, it's Friday so that means it's time to look forward to the upcoming weekend and review what was a mental set of midweek fixtures.

Starting in the midlands as Villa give City a taste of their own medicine, just how far can Emery take them? But for Pep what needs addressing in the team and is it possible they're lacking depth?! Next it's onto Kennelworth Road as Luton make it awkward for Arsenal but Rice steps up again to lead the way and keep Arsenal's title charge going, was this a worrying or encouraging performance by Arteta's men?

Then moving down the table the boys look at if Roy is in trouble at Palace as they continue their slump and is it time to say farewell to Steve Cooper? Has he been sold down the river by his players? Then there's just enough time to compare Poch & Ten Hag in who is doing the least on the training pitch and the boys of course find time to laugh at Spurs.

As always we finish with MasterMind Quiz, can you do better than Adam?
