Summary

Arsenal are officially in crisis, but at least the merch looks good! Jasper Taylor is joined by Kate Burlaga and Gerard Brand to discuss the weekend's Premier League action, as Arsenal lost again at the Emirates, meaning their current points tally has them on track to finish 15th this season (05:27). How low does it have to go for Mikel Arteta to face the sack? The panel also discuss Liverpool's 1-1 draw at Fulham on Super Sunday (18:30), and why the injury to Diogo Jota could have big ramifications for Jurgen Klopp's side. In the Regional Review, we talk all things Newcastle with Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie - takeover talk is on the menu again, as well as Steve Bruce's intentions for the January window (32:23). And in part four, we discuss a turgid Manchester derby (45:30) which brought more questions than answers, including: should players really be hugging and smiling after serving up such a dour performance?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Sky Sports Football Podcast brought to you by Bet365,
0:04.6	where every nail-biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion,

0:49.3	The Manchester clubs bored each other into submission and as for Arsenal, they've seemingly decided they've
0:55.1	had enough of top flight football altogether. It was quite possibly the worst weekend for accumulators
1:00.7	in the history of the Premier League. In part one today, we do look at Arsenal, who are deep
1:05.8	in a crisis after they were beaten 1-0 by Burnley at the Emirates on Sunday. Just how long do they give manager Mikhail Artetta?
1:13.8	In part two, Liverpool get away with it at Fulham
1:16.2	as a woeful first half performance prevents them from moving top of the Premier League.
1:20.6	Part three is our regional review as we speak with Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downey
1:25.7	to talk all things Newcastle.
1:27.6	And in part four, we look at a goalless and turgid Manchester Derby
1:31.7	with little in terms of action, but plenty of theories about just what Pep Guadiola is attempting
1:37.6	at Manchester City.
1:39.0	If that doesn't tell you, all you need to know about the game, I don't know what will.
