A defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday night means the top-four picture for Arsenal looks slightly less clear than it did going into the weekend.
With Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey injured, it has been a few days to forget for Mikel Arteta as the challenge of getting Arsenal back into the Champions League takes another turn.
Sam is in charge today and is joined by the Athletic's James McNicholas - aka Gunnerblog - and James Olley, senior football writer at ESPN, to dissect where things went wrong at Selhurst Park, discuss Arteta's options at left-back following a poor night for Nuno Tavares and look ahead to the weekend visit of Brighton.
