Summary
Arsenal are dominating the Premier League and now they’re doing the same in Europe. Can they win both the big titles? Gregor Robertson thinks their success is built on a rock solid defence.
Chelsea are looking equally effective in Europe; their game against Arsenal at the weekend is set up for the blues marauding wingers to take on Arsenal’s galloping full backs.
It was another tough night for Spurs, but there were some encouraging signs as they at least scored three.

Tom Clarke is joined by Gregor Robertson, Pete Rutzler and tony Cascarino
