The Arsenal Beat

After losing at Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup, a visit to face Liverpool would not have been seen as the ideal tonic for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.

Instead, the reigning Premier League champions picked up their first league win at Anfield in over 14 years to open up a lead at the top of the table.

Emily is joined by impromptu quiz host Art de Roche of The Athletic and The Telegraph's Sam Dean to discuss the win, what it means for Arteta and his side, the importance of Declan Rice and how Arsenal could (but probably won't) improve their attack in the winter transfer window.

Sam also talks through his long-awaited Arsenal book, which Art has yet to purchase...awkward?

Arsenal gave their WSL season a much-needed shot in the arm with victory over north London rivals Tottenham on Saturday.

To answer that question and many more beside, Emily is joined by The Telegraph's Kathryn Batte and Emma Sanders from BBC Sport to look back over the 2-1 win and what it could mean for Slegers and for Arsenal.

The panel also debate the coverage of women's football, falling attendances and how the game attracts new fans.

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.
