The Max Factor

There has been plenty of excitement surrounding Arsenal academy prospect Max Dowman in recent months, but did the 16-year-old truly arrive with a fine display in the 4-2 Carabao Cup third round win over Ipswich? Emily is joined by The Sun's Simon Collings and Art de Roche of The Athletic to discuss Dowman's eye-catching performance and that of fellow Hale End star Marli Salmon. Art invites listeners into his adventure into culinary awareness while Simon is stuck eating chilli in press rooms across the country. The panel also debate the upcoming trip to Brighton and the resumption of the Fabian Hürzeler v Mikel Arteta rivalry and the ongoing struggles for Vikor Gyokeres. Elsewhere, Arsenal have not enjoyed such a strong start in the Women's Super League, but could an Emirates Stadium clash against struggling Manchester United provide welcome respite?
