Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and Colin Millar for company after another weekend of pure Premier League drama. Arsenal get back to winning ways with Eberechi Eze returning to haunt Spurs again in the North London derby. Igor Tudor’s new side now sit 4 points above the relegation zone.

Did Arsenal just lose the title? Will Tudor’s Tottenham take advantage?

Jimbo welcomes Natalie Gedra, Charlie Eccleshare and Mark Carey into the studio after a shocking Wednesday night of action. Arsenal somehow throw away a 2-0 lead to draw with rock-bottom Wolves at Molineux, with the hosts earning just their 10th point of the season. Have the Gunners lost their heads in the title race? And does a North London derby in Igor Tudor’s first game as Spurs manager represent a good or bad game for them at this moment?
