On this first Arsecast of 2020, it's a look back at the 2-0 win over Man Utd which gave Mikel Arteta his first win as Arsenal boss. I'm joined first by Andrew Allen, to discuss the long overdue victory, the impact Arteta has had on the team as well as the mood, Lucas Torreira and more. Then I chat to Charles Watts of Goal about the pre-Leeds press conference, why the training ground is a happier place, Arteta's big Granit Xhaka decision, and a look ahead to Monday's FA Cup clash.
Follow Andrew @aallensport and Charles @charles_watts

| 1:11.7 | We're going to talk about some of the performances, some of the individuals, the impact of Mick L. Arterta on this team, this club, this fan base has been phenomenal. |
