The Arsenal Beat

The Premier League is finally back this weekend and it will be reigning champions Arsenal who get things back under way when they welcome an impressive Leeds side to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Normal service also resumes on The Arsenal Beat, where Emily is joined by Ed Aarons of the Guardian and Sam Cunningham, a freelance football journalist with over 20 years experience covering the game's biggest clubs. The panel discuss the bombshell decision in the Manchester City case and what it could mean to a rival club such as Arsenal, the differing fortunes of the club's players during the prolonged international break and Mikel Arteta's new contract.

Welcome to the first-ever episode of The Arsenal Beat: Fan Forum. Arsenal has one of the most passionate, most global fanbases in the world and while we cover the football every week from here in the UK, we wanted to hand the mic to supporters who are living that experience somewhere completely different. We are delighted to welcome Arsenal NYC as our first supporters club joining Fan Forum as Emily speaks to co-director Patrick Dunn. Later in the episode, Patrick introduces three members of Arsenal NYC who put their questions directly to Arsenal Beat regular, Simon Collings of The Sun.

For the first time, The Arsenal Beat Monday review show comes on the back of a defeat for Mikel Arteta's men. A 3-0 loss at Brighton sees the Premier League champions go into a prolonged international break on the back of a rare poor performance. Emily is joined by Alex Howell from BBC Sport and The Standard's Matt Verri to run the rule over what went wrong for Arsenal at the AMEX Stadium.

There has been plenty of excitement surrounding Arsenal academy prospect Max Dowman in recent months, but did the 16-year-old truly arrive with a fine display in the 4-2 Carabao Cup third round win over Ipswich? Emily is joined by The Sun's Simon Collings and Art de Roche of The Athletic to discuss Dowman's eye-catching performance and that of fellow Hale End star Marli Salmon. Art invites listeners into his adventure into culinary awareness while Simon is stuck eating chilli in press rooms across the country. The panel also debate the upcoming trip to Brighton and the resumption of the Fabian Hürzeler v Mikel Arteta rivalry and the ongoing struggles for Vikor Gyokeres. Elsewhere, Arsenal have not enjoyed such a strong start in the Women's Super League, but could an Emirates Stadium clash against struggling Manchester United provide welcome respite?

A judo bout, a stunning strike and another win for the Premier League champions.

Emily is joined by Nick Callow from Hayters TV and debutant Tom Canton from the Mirror and football.london. They discuss the key talking points from the Stadium of Light, the Carabao Cup trip to Ipswich and plenty in between.
