Joining Ian Stone this week it's Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas to talk through the "performance of the season contender" that was Arsenal's win over Villa on Friday night.

This week we hail the throwback 4-4-2 system that saw partnerships thrive at the Emirates, the team regain control and dominance, and a real antidote to the previous performance.

Find out which Arsenal legend Adrian compares ESR to, who really impressed James, and later on Art de Roché joins to talk about stats and we discover that he is quicker than a lot of Premier League players that might surprise you!
