Summary

Ian Stone is joined by Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas on this mixed weekend after Arsenal lost to Everton but saw title rivals Manchester City lose to local rivals Tottenham.

The panel discuss where the game at Goodison Park was lost, especially with set pieces. Adrian takes us on a tactical dive through the setup for corners and how it allowed Everton to score a "Burnley" goal. James talks through the inevitable bumps in the road and Arteta's "pathway of roses" too.

Plus there's discussion on Martinelli's new contract, Flo Balogun's incredible goal scoring form, and Adrian has some intriguing gossip about Declan Rice too...
