A bite size Full Arsenal as @JoshuaharrisonH and I look back on Arsenal’s draw with Brentford last night.

There’s a look ahead to Sunday’s clash with Wigan, too.

Brentford 1 Arsenal 1: Gunners throw away lead as Bees sting them at set-piece SET PIECES were meant to be the weapon that fired Arsenal to the title. So there was more than a hint of irony that Mikel Arteta’s side stumbled at Brentford because of a long throw. Bees right-bac…

A night when Arsenal never really got going - and then were undone, by all things, a set piece.

Half-time

Brentford 0-0 Arsenal

Arsenal were sloppy and off it for much of that. Couple of really poor errors at the back, one of which was almost punished had it not been for a fine save by Raya. Bit better towards the end of the half, but largely blunt in attack.

Arsenal's defenders - those starting and on the bench - have been pulled into a huddle by Gabriel Heinze. Goalkeeper David Raya part of it, too. Heinze barking out orders and encouragement.

Eberechi Eze gets 'reality check' from ICU nurse wife every time she gets home ARSENAL star Eberechi Eze says his wife working as an ICU nurse has given him a “reality check” about the pressure of chasing trophies. Eze, who moved to the Emirates lastsummer from Crystal Palace…

Eberechi Eze puts some perspective on the pressure of a title race:

“I get a reality check with my wife, she works in an ICU.

“Honestly, I love that part of my life so much. It just humbles you.”

Half-time

Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland

Arsenal lead thanks to Zubimendi's goal. It was a lovely hit from outside the box and the sort of goal the hosts needed in a game like this. Sunderland have been very well organised and hard to open up.

Penalty to Arsenal, but the flag goes up for offside.

Jesus was just off.

Zubimendi lets fly from outside the box.

Goes in off the post.

Great hit.

Brobbey booked for late tackle on Zubimendi. Lucky it is only a yellow.

Interesting move from Madueke who has changed just one of his boots. The left one, if you're wondering.

Gabriel - once again - captains the Arsenal side in the absence of Odegaard and Saka. Become such a leader, huge transformation from when he first joined.

Arsenal team is out.

Calafiori, Havertz and Jesus all start.

No Odegaard or Saka in the squad.

Sunderland are the only beaten side at home in the Prem this season - but away form is miserable.

Two wins and six goals scored from 12 games.

Sunderland have a shockingly bad record at Arsenal and they have not won a top-flight game there since 1983.

Hence…

Arteta shares belly-busting meal he demolished after Arsenal booked Wembley spot ARSENAL have been starved of trophies for six years — but Mikel Arteta feasted after booking a trip to Wembley on Tuesday night. The Gunners beat Chelsea 1-0 on the night — 4-2 on aggregate — to se…

By the time Mikel Arteta was having his post-match meal on Tuesday night - (burger, mac ‘n’ cheese and sushi!) - he was already thinking about today’s clash with Sunderland.

Attention must quickly turn to the title race for a huge weekend.
