Summary

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Lyon, the final game of pre-season.

Set pieces proved key once again with goals from Saliba and Gabriel, courtesy of two brilliant Declan Rice deliveries.

The panel discuss if set pieces will carry the same threat this season, and how Mikel Arteta might set up against Wolves.

Plus, can Arsenal win the Premier League title without an authentic No 9?

Produced by Jay Beale.
