  • 1-0 to the Arsenal
    Oct 19 2026

    Noni Madueke came off the bench to score the winner as Arsenal secured a hard-fought victory at Nottingham Forest.

    Emily asks The Arsenal Beat regulars Simon Collings from The Sun and BBC Sport's Alex Howell if Mikel Arteta's side can keep winning this way for the rest of the season.

    There are also plenty of left-wing politics going on at The Emirates Stadium, with Eberechi Eze and Madueke looking to lock down that side of the pitch moving forward.

    A tricky trip to face German giants Bayern Munich is next up for the Gunners, but the panel discuss why Saturday's visit of Everton is actually a bigger game for the Premier League champions.
