Premier League Review: Arsenal miss chance to extend lead

After five league wins in a row Arsenal missed the chance to go 8 points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa after drawing 0-0 with Liverpool at the Emirates on Thursday night.


Cerys Jones, Reuben Pinder and Andy Jones join Matt Davies-Adams to reflect on the match, and talk the best and worst of the midweek Premier League action including Thomas Frank's cupset, a thriller at St James' Park, life after Ruben Amorim and whether new boss Liam Rosenior can fix Chelsea's discipline problem.


Plus silly red cards, too little too late for Wolves and whether Nuno Espirito Santo can save West Ham from relegation.


Host: Matt Davies-Adams

With: Cerys Jones, Reuben Pindy, Andy Jones
