Summary

Arsenal had one of their more forgettable evenings of the season as they had drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace, Arsenal’s 13th draw of the season.

Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to reflect on a disappointing game and performance with both teams possibly distracted by bigger games to come. They speak about the recent errors by Saliba despite being imperious otherwise, and the positives from the match, particularly Jakub Kiwior, Leandro Trossard and the confidence of Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Plus, the transfer news regarding Zubimendi and Dean Huijsen, the Gunners for Peace campaign against club’s ‘Visit Rwanda’ sponsorship, and we touch on the huge game we have coming up against PSG.
