Tom White and Jamie O’Hara react to reports that Antoine Semenyo’s representatives are in Manchester to finalise a deal, with Bournemouth’s £65m release clause in focus. Would a January move make Manchester City title favourites? City fan Aston believes it would be a huge signing. The focus then shifts to Aston Villa’s stunning form. Eleven straight wins leave Unai Emery’s side just three points behind Arsenal ahead of their trip to the Emirates, with Jamie hailing Emery as the league’s second-best manager behind Pep Guardiola. Next, we look at Arsenal’s win over Brighton to return to the top of the Premier League and ask whether, after another incredible save, David Raya is the best goalkeeper in the league. We then turn to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s impressive form and ask whether it puts him in contention for an England call-up ahead of the World Cup. We finish with Florian Wirtz—and, joined by Liverpool fan Sarah, ask whether he has finally stepped up in Mohamed Salah’s absence.

We then assess Arsenal’s chances of winning silverware, with Darragh arguing that only the league title matters, while Arsenal fan Scarlett highlights the importance of securing a domestic cup. Next, with just four home wins in this calendar year, we ask whether Spurs are still worthy of the ‘big six’ tag. Tottenham fan Cam joins us to discuss the highs and lows of 2025, including a Europa League triumph and a 17th-place league finish last season. And finally, Patson Daka may have a sore head this morning after an acrobatic celebration went wrong at AFCON. We ask whether, as a coach, you would try to curb excessive goal celebrations.
