Squeaky Arsenal Time, Carrick In Dreamland & Villa in The Title Race

About this episode

The episode discusses Arsenal's defensive tactics, Michael Carrick's impact at Manchester United, and Aston Villa's title race potential.

Are Mikel Arteta’s tactics becoming too defensive? With no wins in their last three games and a worrying lack of goals from the forward line, are Arsenal in danger of throwing away their Premier League advantage? Michael Carrick has made a dream start, claiming statement wins over Manchester City and Arsenal. Can he guide Manchester United into the Champions League places — and does he deserve the permanent head coach role? Gary, Alan and Micah also break down Unai Emery’s brilliant tactics and ask the question: can Aston Villa go all the way and win the league?
