Summary

Mark Chapman is joined by former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, Premier League winner Chris Sutton and The Athletic's Adam Crafton on this week's Monday Night Club.

The team discuss Andy Robertson's comments about Liverpool getting "nervous", as well as Merino's brace to get Arsenal out of danger. Are the Reds catchable? Do Arsenal have it in them to be perfect?

After Manchester United's loss against Tottenham, leaving them 15th in the table, the panel discuss where the end to their poor form could come from. Does Amorim need more time, and are the players at fault? Or is the environment to blame?
