Summary
They review Arsenal's Premier League win over Leicester City, which saw two goals from makeshift striker Mikel Merino - could he be the answer to the Gunners' injury problems up front? Plus, where does this important win leave Arsenal in the title race?
We also discuss a brilliant individual display for Manchester City's Omar Marmoush against Newcastle, scoring a hattrick in a 4-0 win that harked back to City of old. Plus, we look at Everton's recent upturn in form and Chelsea's struggles against Brighton.
In addition, we hear an exclusive interview with Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutchman opens up about life at Old Trafford under manager Ruben Amorim and says he believes they can challenge for silverware in the future. We also bring you an in-depth chat with Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, ahead of the two sides meeting on Sunday.
But we start by looking back on the career of respected football journalist and friend of Sunday Supplement, Patrick Barclay, who passed away on Friday.

| 1:01.7 | supplements. It is a great loss. Carve, I'm going to come to you first, actually. It's a brilliant |
