Summary

It's only two up front on the show this week as Simon Jordan and Graeme Souness tackle some of the big questions around the Premier League:

Did Arsenal show an inferiority complex against Manchester City? Was Erik Ten Hag wrong to bring up Marcus Rashford's lifestyle and is Julen Lopetegui's position under threat at West Ham?

Graeme and Simon debate Arsenal's approach after they went down to 10 men at Manchester City. Did Arteta's approach show their fear of City or was it the best way to go? Graeme argues they were too negative and explains why he thinks City won't care that they haven't beaten Arsenal in their last 3 league meetings. They also discuss Trossard's red card and whether players should take some of the blame for bending the rules.

Please note that his episode was recorded before the news about Rodri's injury became public.

With just one win in his first 5 games, how much pressure is on West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui? Simon gives his verdict on how long he might have  and explains the thought process of a chairman when the team is getting bad results.

Finally, Simon and Graeme look ahead to Manchester United v Tottenham this weekend and discuss whether managers should bring up a player's lifestyle in the press after Erik Ten Hag's recent comments about Marcus Rashford. This leads to a debate over whether Ten Hag can handle big stars, but is it also maybe the last chance saloon for Rashford at United?
