2 In, 2 Out? — Arsenal Beat Brentford and Prepare for Aston VillaArsenal took a needed three points against Brentford, but the story of the night was the balance between what went in and what went out. Merino's header and Saka's late strike gave Arsenal the goals, yet Rice and Mosquera joining the injury list kept the tension high in a game that should have been far more routine.We break down the full picture: why the match felt messy in real time but looked controlled on the rewatch, how Timber and Calafiori quietly re-established structure, and why the left-side role debate is becoming one of the defining conversations of this Arsenal season. From Martinelli's fit, to Trossard's ownership of the role, to Eze's natural connection inside — it's all here.Part Two brings the Who Am I, a whip around the grounds (including Fulham vs City chaos and Leeds humbling Chelsea), and a VARse featuring two officiating moments.Then it's on to Saturday at Villa Park — a huge December fixture, a tough stylistic matchup, and another test of Arsenal's depth during a brutal run.Measured, detailed, and Arsenal-first — exactly how we do it.Chapters:00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:10) – PSA: Arsenal Cannot Lose the Title!(02:21) – Starting XI & Immediate Reactions(03:41) – The Left-Side Debate: Martinelli, Trossard, Eze & Roles(07:12) – Early Control: Ben White, Madueke and the Opening Goal(09:12) – Momentum Shifts & Raya's Big Save(11:03) – Ref Decision, Missed Chances & Madueke's Final Ball(14:33) – Rice, Running Power & the Repeated Sprint Problem(19:48) – Timber at Centre-Back & Backline Adaptations(20:21) – Second Half: Corners, Pressure & Arteta's Response(25:07) – Rice's Injury Scare & Midfield Management(28:59) – Calafiori Brilliance & Saka's Big Miss(32:58) – Saka's Redemption: 2–0 Arsenal / Merino Master of Space(38:24) – By The Numbers: Game State vs Game Feeling(40:10) – PT.2 Who Am I (Game)(41:28) – Whip Around the Grounds (GW14 Results)(47:34) – VARse: Two Officiating Talking Points(55:09) – League Picture: Leaky Defences & Wolves' Historic Pace(59:24) – Villa Preview: Injuries, Lineups & Tactical Threads(01:09:26) – Prediction Game: Sp*rs vs Brentford(01:10:50) – Who Am I (Game) Reveal

Welcome back to the Always Bayern Chelsea show for the 118th episode. We've finally caught our breath and are able to review the thrilling DFB Pokal first round match where Bayern Munich narrowly beat 3. Liga side Wehen Wiesbaden 3-2, advancing in the tournament. We hit all the stops in this episode also talking about the potential Nico Jackson transfer AND previewing the upcoming Bundesliga matchup between Bayern Munich and FC Augsburg as well as the English Premiere League matchup between Chelsea and Fulham. We kick things off with an introduction and a FULL breakdown of the big German Cup opening round matchup for Bayern Munich against Wehen. We talk about Kompany's varied lineup/tactics and why we were fans of integrating youngsters into the mix for this one. Then we talk about all of the match highlights, scoring/substitutions, player performances, and give out match awards. Everything looked to be going to plan for the Bavarians when Harry Kane scored a penalty, and Michael Olise scored putting them up 2-0. Things then went off the rails as Bayern missed chances & allowed two goals when the defense fell asleep. Luckily Kane came to the rescue in the closing seconds of the match scoring the third and final goal of the match assisted by Josip Stanišić. We then dive into a full preview of Bayern's Bundesliga clash this weekend with FC Augsburg. We break down what we foresee Kompany to roll with as the Starting XI, potential tactics, key players to watch in this one, and of course a prediction of the final score. Then, we break down the rumors swirling around Chelsea striker Nico Jackson and that he may be on his way to Munich for a loan deal. What would this mean for both teams? Finally, we close out by previewing Chelsea's EPL matchup with Fulham. We talk about past matches, who Enzo Maresca may roll with, tactics/strategies, as well as important players to watch out for.
