Villa vanquish Man City - can they do the same to Arsenal?

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, JJ Bull and Luis Miguel Echegaray into the studio in a week literally packed with Premier League football. It’s a performance that made Luis cry as Aston Villa batter Man City with 1-0 flattering the champions. Do City miss Gundogan and can the graduates of Unai-versity do the same to Arsenal on Saturday? Man United get back to winning ways against Chelsea in a game where neither side looks exactly like they know what they’re doing but McTominay overshadows the expensive duo of Caicedo and Fernandez. Chris Wilder is back at Sheffield United as we see the first sacking of the season in the Premier League. Could Steve Cooper and Roy Hodgson be on the move as well? It’s a big weekend in the USA with the MLS Cup final on Saturday. Is Luis Suarez heading stateside as well? Plus primary colours, low shorts and stolen Christmas songs.
