Summary

On MNC this week Mark Chapman, Andros Townsend, Chris Sutton and Rory Smith get into the one all draw between Chelsea and Arsenal and pose the question if discipline is an issue with Enzo Maresca’s side? And look into their mentality after playing with ten men.

They hear from Tottenham fan Jack Hussey after Thomas Frank said the supporters who booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the match against Fulham "can't be true Tottenham fans".

Attention turns to Brighton as they ended the week fifth in the Premier League table – but fans are still divided over manager Fabian Hurzeler, as fan Alice Botting explains to the guys.

And Mo Salah gets discussed after he was dropped from Liverpool’s starting line-up in the league for the first time since April 2024.

Timecodes: 00:34 - Chelsea v Arsenal analysis. 13:00 – Tottenham section. 30:42 – Goalkeepers going down injured. 37:34 – Brighton and Fabian Hürzeler discussion. 45:50 – Liverpool and Mo Salah being on the bench.
