Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog.
On this extra Arsecast Extra, we discuss the 4-1 win over Rapid Vienna in the Europa League – the first time fans have been allowed in the Emirates since March. James was there, so we talk about his experience as one of the 2,000 lucky supporters, the impact it might have had on the players, and the very obvious difference it makes to the experience, whether you’re there or watching from afar. We then chat about the match, goals for Alex Lacazette, Pablo Mari, Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe, and an excellent performance from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, but does it put him in contention to start the derby on Sunday? There also questions about Arteta’s desire to play a 4-3-3, the visit to White Hart Lane and the importance of not losing, blue kits at home, the use of young players, a possible January clearout and loads more.

Remember, you can send us questions via which we’ll try and get to each week. Send them to either @arseblog or @Gunnerblog (or both) using the hashtag #arsecastextra. Best to send them Monday morning so they get noticed more easily.
