We've launched a new Arsenal podcast 'Seeing Red' with chief football writer John Cross and Arsenal reporter Tom Canton.

Each week, they will dive deep into the biggest topics as they follow Mikel Arteta's side every step of the way - and will also discuss nostalgic flashbacks before each fixture.

It's a great time to be an Arsenal fan, with the Gunners flying high under Arteta as they look to win silverware this season.

The North Londoners are going strong in the Premier League and Champions League - and they're also in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

We'll provide insight and reaction - and have fun along the way - as Arsenal target the biggest trophies this season.

No stone will be left unturned. VAR controversy? Poor performances? Unsung hero who deserves praise? Fixture chaos? We'll have it all covered.

rsenal could welcome back several of their previously absent stars for the North London Derby this weekend. Mikel Arteta has been dealt many blows already this season, most recently with Gabriel Magalhaes coming off against Senegal for Brazil.

The return of other stars could help mitigate the loss of such a presence. While Gabriel Jesus was spotted again with the Arsenal team in pictures ahead of the weekend, a return for the striker still seems premature.

It is worth remembering that Jurrien Timber trained with the group for a significant period of time before returning to the fold on the final day of the 2023/24 season. So a return for Jesus would be a fantasy.

For Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke, however, that could be a different story. The pair are pushing to return for the derby and could offer Arteta some game-changing quality he lacked in the clash with Sunderland.
