The Daily Football Briefing

They’re all very down in the dumps at Arsenal. A surprisingly high number of fans seem to have lost faith in Mikel Arteta. That seems a bit dramatic, doesn’t it? We check in on Amy Lawrence and Ian Stone Are Nottingham Forest title contenders? Matt Davies Adams certainly thinks so and our Liverpool correspondent James Pearce thinks the league leaders are in for a really tough game.  Plus, we preview all of Tuesday’s big games around Europe.   Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Amy Lawrence, Ian Stone, Matt Davies Adams and James Pearce  Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

The FA Cup takes a lot of stick, from me in particular, but Sunday offered two of the best sort of games. First non league Tamworth gave Tottenham a real test across 101 minutes of uncompromising football class war and then Arsenal and Man Utd went at each other in a game that had more needle than quality.  Carl Anka and James McNicholas were at The Emirates, Jay Harris was in Tamworth, we’ve also got Seb Stafford Bloor on a rampant Bayer Leverkusen and Dermot Corrigan was watching the Classico that no-one in England could see (by legitimate means). This is everything you need to know about the weekend’s football.   Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Carl Anka, James McNicholas, Jay Harris, Seb Stafford Bloor and Dermot Corrigan Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

We all knew Sean Dyche was under significant pressure at Everton, but I don’t think anyone expected him to sacked just a few hours before kick off in the FA Cup third round tie against Peterborough. David Ornstein and Paddy Boyland fill us in on the details.  What do we make of Graham Potter at West Ham? Phil Hay has his doubts. And we have some good news for Manchester United fans too, they certainly haven’t had much of that over the past few weeks.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: David Ornstein, Paddy Boyland, Phil Hay Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

Did anyone expect Spurs to play really mature, sensible football and beat Liverpool without conceding a goal? This was a very impressive display from them, though the referee’s decision not to dismiss Lucas Bergvall may have been more important than his dalliance with the tannoy… Julian Lopetegui has been put out of his misery at West Ham. The decision was finally reached on Wednesday after the poor man was made to take a morning training session. Roshane Thomas is here to tell us if it was the right decision or not.  And remember how Barcelona were going to lose Dani Olmo for nothing? Not anymore. The Spanish government has stepped in and he can play again. Pol Ballus explains what just happened.
