Summary

It was another disappointing result for Arsenal in the Premier League as they lost 2-1 to Bournemouth. Art de Roché and Jordan Campbell join Ian Stone to reflect on a strange game where both players and the fans possibly had their attention on the big Champions League game to come.

Plus, we get excited for the huge second leg against PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday and how Arsenal could overturn the 1-0 deficit.

All that and there's the Saliba to Real Madrid rumours and the manager head to head between Jack Wilshere vs. Aaron Ramsey are touched on.

Producer: Robby Williams
