It was a 3-0 win for Newcastle against PSV Eindhoven, however there's concern for captain Bruno Guimaraes who hobbled off with an ankle injury in the first half. Liverpool cruised past Marseille 3-0 to put themselves in a strong position to finish in the top eight on a night where Mohamed Salah returned to the starting line-up.

Well this interview went #TeamsLike Brentford very quicklyBilly “The Bee” Grant appeared on Talksport's The Sports Bar with Jason Cundy and Jamie O'Hara to preview the upcoming Chelsea v Brentford match. It turned into one of the more awkward previews, with loosely structured questions and a fair bit of attempted rage-baiting as Jason Cundy repeatedly framed it as “small club Brentford” taking on “big club Chelsea” - despite Brentford sitting above Chelsea in the table and having beaten them three times at Stamford Bridge in the past four seasonsNot an easy interview at all but Billy navigated the line of questioning, setting the tone for a lively and occasionally chaotic build-up to the matchYou can also catch Beesotted's Chelsea match preview podcast, live now on PrideOfWest.LondonClick the link to sign up to Bees United and sign up for the presentation by Brentford performance coach Ben Ryan www.beesunited.org.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back on Wednesday's 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge. We chat about the early goal which silenced some noisy home fans, and a relatively even first half, before Viktor Gyokeres got a much needed goal to make it 2-0. We discuss the goal we conceded before making it 3-1, and the chances we missed to go further ahead before they got another goal back. We analyse some individual performances, like Martin Zubimendi and William Saliba, and look at this is as a positive result which could have been even better, but which leaves us with some work to do in the second leg. All that, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

It was VAR and goalkeeping errors that made the headlines across the two League Cup semi-finals. Chelsea's Robert Sanchez gifted two goals to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and at St James Park a bizarre decision from VAR denied Man City a goal. New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior picked the goalkeeper but he didn't pick Palmer, Gusto or James seemingly at the prompting of his medical department. Is this a worrying early sign for the new man? If you had the choice, would you get rid of VAR? Is it worth the trouble it causes?After the break, where can Carrick take Man Utd and favourite rivalries ahead of the Manchester derby. Tom Clarke joins Martin Samuel, Tony Cascarino and Gregor Robertson Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Chelsea lose 3-2 at home to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, but somehow remain very much alive in the tie. Manny and Simon review a chaotic night at Stamford Bridge where a heavily rotated Chelsea side managed to keep the deficit to one goal, despite Arsenal fielding a near full-strength XI and failing to take full advantage.The hosts break down the key moments that cost Chelsea — silly defensive mistakes, Robert Sánchez's errors, and once again a lack of discipline and basic fundamentals that continue to undermine the team. While the result wasn't ideal, the lads discuss why Chelsea can still believe heading into the second leg.Attention then turns to a massive Premier League West London derby at home to Brentford on Saturday. With pressure mounting and performances still inconsistent, can Chelsea respond in front of their own fans?
Episode 162 — Advantage Arsenal: Narrow First Leg Win After a Dominant Performance at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup Semi-FinalThe boys are back as Gav, Ells and special guest JJ react to Arsenal's first-leg victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup semi-final — a night that delivered control, chances, and a narrow advantage that perhaps didn't reflect the balance of play.The discussion begins with Arsenal's approach to the tie, including selection choices, goalkeeper debate, and how the team set the tone early. With Arsenal dominating large stretches of the first half, the panel explore why a strong performance failed to translate into a more commanding scoreline, touching on chance creation, shot selection, and decision-making in key moments.There's detailed analysis of Arsenal's midfield structure and evolving roles, including how balance, chemistry, and positioning continue to develop as personnel return from injury. The conversation also examines set-piece execution, attacking movement, and what different striker profiles bring to Arsenal's play — particularly in moments where control needs to become separation.Defensively, the episode breaks down the goals conceded, game management in knockout football, and how small errors can shift momentum even during dominant spells. Goalkeeper involvement, box control, and recovery actions are all discussed as Arsenal once again navigate fine margins in a semi-final setting.In the second half, focus turns forward. The panel preview Arsenal's upcoming trip to Nottingham Forest, discussing defensive availability, workload management, and how Arsenal should approach a fixture shaped as much by desperation as quality. There's also discussion around key Premier League matches elsewhere, including the Manchester derby and Tottenham vs West Ham, and what those results could mean in the wider title picture.The episode closes with the Who Am I? game, featuring a former Arsenal forward whose career took him across Europe — and prompts a few nostalgic reflections along the way.A first-leg advantage secured, questions still to answer, and a season entering a defining stretch.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:50) - Chelsea Semi-Final Context & Selection Decisions(02:35) - Goalkeeper Debate: Structure, Crosses & Build-Up Play(04:20) - Fast Start & Early Pressure at Stamford Bridge(05:06) - 0-1 | Set-Piece Breakthrough and Corner Execution(07:12) - Missed Chances & Shot Selection Frustrations(11:41) - Midfield Balance, Roles & Chemistry Questions(16:49) - First-Half Control Without Separation(18:12) - 0-2 | Gyökeres Finish and Box Presence(21:11) - Attacking Relationships & Service to the Striker(23:15) - 1-2 | Momentum Shift & Defensive Breakdown(26:13) - Garnacho's Face / Most Disliked Players(27:40) - 1-3 | Zubimendi's Goal and Game Control(29:16) - Refereeing, Game Management & Discipline(31:04) - Missed Chances to Kill the Tie(31:44) - 2-3 | Late Goal Conceded & Narrow First-Leg Margin(33:55) - Full-Time Reflection, Stats & First-Leg Takeaways(37:22) - PT.2 Who Am I?

James is joined by Chelsea fan Gary Mantle to get a view from a Blues perspective on what's been going on. There's reflection on the breakdown in relationship between Maresca and those that run and/or have influence at the football club. Was a parting of the ways inevitable?

Enzo Maresca became the first Premier League manager to leave their club in 2026 as he walked out of Chelsea on New Year's Day.

At the time of recording, Enzo Meresca was still the manager of Chelsea Football Club. And now, the tumult at Chelsea has been thrown into overdrive as the Italian manager has been relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge. Nonetheless, a huge match between two title hopefuls could have massive implications on the league season. Should City win, pressure will remain on Arsenal and Chelsea will be relegated to a top four race. If Chelsea prevail, they may hold lingering beliefs that they could mount an unlikely title push. Elsewhere, Tottenham will welcome promoted Sunderland. After taking points off Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, the Black Cats will look to do the same to Spurs.

New year, same Chelsea. Chris and Joe jump on an emergency pod after the news drops: Enzo Maresca is out — and it's not even lunchtime on New Year's Day. Where were we when we found out, did we see it coming… and are we actually that upset? We look back on the Maresca era properly — the highs (Barcelona, Arsenal, that Club World Cup) and the big, nagging issues that never went away: the drab football, the constant rotation, the set-piece panic every time the ball goes in our box, and the feeling the players were never fully bought in. Then it's onto the only thing that matters: what happens next. Chelsea say this won't be an interim… so who's the “permanent” answer in January? We talk the early names in the mix — Liam Rosenior, Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luís, Xavi, Glasner — and what each one would say about the direction of this club (and whether the owners just want a yes man).

Joe gets into the long throws, the passengers, the half-time hooks, and why defending set pieces now feels like a coin flip we always lose. Then Chris wakes up on New Year's Eve basically hoping it's done - because the football's dull, the management's stubborn, and the “process” is starting to feel like a loop. Plus: who could actually replace Maresca if Chelsea go there.

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Óscar Portugal, además de a Borja García, Rafa Pastrana y Héctor Kriok, para analizar toda la jornada de Boxing Day en la Premier League...Comenzando por el Arsenal reteniendo su liderato al derrotar al Brighton; un liderato que habría caído, de lo contrario, en manos de un Manchester City que con polémica y euforia noqueó al Nottingham Forest; pero no con tanta euforia como la que sintió el Aston Villa ganando en Stamford Bridge al Chelsea, remontada incluida, para sumar su 11ª victoria seguida de la temporada; mientras que la temporada es lo que se le está complicando al Newcastle tras una no abultada pero sí dura derrota contra el Manchester United; como sí que fue dura y abultada también la victoria del Brentford sobre el Bournemouth de Andoni Iraola; el Burnley y el Everton jugaron un partido duro para el fútbol y para los goles no marcados; los que sí que marcó el Liverpool para ganar ajustadamente al perfectamente resistible Wolverhampton; pero no son muchas mejores las sensaciones de unos martillos que unos lobos cuando el West Ham vuelve a perder con el Fulham de Rául Jiménez; el Sunderland y el Leeds jugaron un divertido partido de Championship; el Tottenham se convirtió en el mejor visitante de la liga con su victoria en Selhurst Park contra el Crystal Palace; quién fue John Robertson, el mejor jugador de la historia del Nottingham Forest, con Borja García; lo mejor y también casi todo lo demás de Championship, con Rafa Pastrana; un mensaje de ponerse medallitas desde Corea del Sur, con Héctor Kriok y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/146407371Además...

Aston Villa were bullied, outplayed, and offered nothing for an hour at Stamford Bridge. Twenty-nine percent possession. No shots. One goal down. Seasoned Villa fans were already bracing themselves.Then Unai Emery changed everything.On this My Old Man Said post-mortem show, we dissect one of the most revealing wins of the season. A game that looked dead and buried until a triple substitution flipped the script, Ollie Watkins reminded everyone what a proper centre-forward does, and Villa scored twice in a twenty-minute burst that left Chelsea flat on their backs.We get into why the first half was arguably Villa's worst of the season, how Chelsea's energy and game management exposed familiar issues, and why Emery's in-game reading of matches is now a genuine competitive advantage. There's deep discussion on Watkins' impact, the mentality shift under Emery, and the growing pattern of Villa winning games without control, possession, or apology.This isn't about pretty football or stats. It's about resilience, timing, and a team that no longer folds when things go wrong. Villa are now ten points clear of Chelsea, racking up wins from losing positions, and quietly building the foundations of a serious Champions League push.Unsustainable? Maybe. Uncomfortable? Definitely. Effective? Absolutely.UTVCheck out the Lovers Walk Unlimited Orchestra's A Holte End Christmas EP GET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMusic production & creation - David MichaelMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, John Cross and Jason Burt to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We start with Arsenal's hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton, sealed by a stunning David Raya save, that kept them top of the league. But are Arsenal beginning to feel the pressure?The focus then shifts to The Ashes, where England finally claimed a Test win in Australia—but John believes it was a hollow victory played out on a dreadful pitch.Next up is Aston Villa's superb run of eleven consecutive wins. A 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge has moved them to within three points of league leaders Arsenal—but with Unai Emery's side consistently outperforming their xG, can they keep this run going?Finally, we turn to Liverpool's 2–1 victory over bottom-of-the-table Wolves. With his first league goal of the season, we ask: has the real Florian Wirtz arrived in the Premier League?Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

After last week's 16-point haul, Haaland captains have eat some humble pie as the big Norwegian blanks for his owners. Also well-captained Hugo Ekitike outperforms him with a single assist against Wolves, but it's Wirtz in midfield that steals the show and the FPL points this week. Villa's excellent run continues with a win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, so we look ahead to Tuesday's clash with Arsenal in anticipation of a mouth-watering tie. elsewhere this week, DCL just keeps on scoring, West Ham lose again (miserably) at home to Fulham and Manchester beats Newcastle in the clash of the Uniteds.

One of those games you could see coming… and it still hurts. Chris and Joe react straight from Dixon's after Chelsea 1–2 Villa — comfortable for an hour, don't get the second, then it all unravels. We get into the missed chances, the baffling subs (Palmer off…), another costly defensive moment, and that familiar lack of a killer up top. We also talk squad drop-off, the summer business, and whether the blame sits with Maresca or the people building the team. Plus a listener voicenote on Enzo.

Rog and Rory are back to break down all of this week's Premier League action, including a wild 1-1 draw between Arsenal and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge that was more boxing match than football game. Are Chelsea the biggest threat to stop Arsenal's title charge? And is it a positive or a negative that Mikel Arteta's men walked away with a point against 10-man Chelsea? Plus, Liverpool got a much-needed victory over West Ham United...but with one of their biggest stars on the bench. Rog and Rory discuss Arne Slot's decision to drop Mo Salah, and what it could mean for both Salah and Liverpool for the remainder of the season.Watch our full interview with Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyhjABSfqSQCheck out all of our Cyber Monday deals at the Men in Blazers shop: https://shop.meninblazers.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode we look back 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. We begin with the team selection and the unexpected absence of William Saliba from the heart of the defence. How did that impact Arsenal, and did it mean the home side amped up what was already going to be an aggressive approach to the game? We assess the performances of both sides when it was 11 v 11, and then the horrendous challenge by Caicedo which saw him sent off which should have tilted the game firmly in our favour. It didn't quite play out like that as we fell behind before Mikel Merino's equaliser got us back level. The manager made changes, none of which really had much of an impact, and we try to analyse why the Gunners couldn't make the most of the man advantage, as well as what this point means in the title race. Then there are listener questions about London derbies, Ben White's lack of playing time, the potential changes for Wednesday's game against Brentford and lots more.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
