Summary

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on a nightmare week for Arteta and Arsenal, losing 2-0 to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi final first leg before being dumped out the FA Cup by Manchester United on penalties.

After scoring just one goal from 49 shots across the two fixtures, has Arsenal's failure to sign a striker caught up with them?

Gabriel Jesus was stretchered off with what looked like a serious injury, with Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri also sidelined does the club have to act in the January transfer window?

With Spurs and Villa on the horizon, the panel discuss how does Mikel Arteta can improve Arsenal's attacking fortunes in the short term, in what could be a make or break week in the Premier League.

Produced by Jay Beale.
