Mark Chapman brings you the Monday Night Club with Micah Richards, Chris Sutton and Rory Smith reflecting on the weekend’s big Premier League talking points.

The boys discuss Arsenal’s worst ever start to a season with two defeats and no goals in their first two games. They're the biggest spenders in the top flight this summer so who's to blame for the rut they find themselves in?

Johnny Cochrane from the Arsenal Opinion podcast joins us to give the fans’ perspective on the situation and Arteta's future.

Micah and Chris share the bizarre things opposition supporters have done to try and put them off after some interesting antics from Leeds fans during their draw with Everton.

Jurgen Klopp and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vented their frustrations at some of the refereeing performances over the weekend. Are referees being more lenient this season compared to last? Is that what the fans want so they can see more free-flowing games?

And with Brighton winning both their opening matches, will Graham Potter’s side finally get the rewards for their attractive style of play this season?
