Arsecast Extra Episode 670 - 08.12.2025

In this episode we look back at Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, our first loss in 18 games. We chat about the team selection, the goal we conceded and how much that contributed to Mikel Arteta making half-time substitutions. Leandro Trossard drew us level off the bench, but when it looked like a point would do for both sides, Villa won it with the last kick of the game. We analyse the way that goal went in and what we might have done better, whether we spurned a good chance to win it ourselves late on, and reflect on how the defeat has opened up the title race with our gap at the top down to 2 points. Then we answer listener questions about rotating in midweek, Christian Norgaard, Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus, why the reaction to the Villa game felt so intense, and lots more.
