The Athletic's David Ornstein joins Mark Chapman with an update on Arsenal's January transfer plans and has more detail on the mood within the club after another chastening Premier League defeat.

We're also joined by our Liverpool writer Simon Hughes with information on Mohammed Salah's future at Anfield after the normally tight-lipped Egyptian gave an interview to the Spanish press last week, is this a public fluttering of eyes at Barcelona and Real Madrid or an attempt to nudge Liverpool into giving him a new contract?

And there's been another head coach sacked at Watford so we speak to Adam Leventhal for the inside story on Vladimir Ivic's departure and the arrival of Xisco Munoz.
