Hello everyone and welcome back to Inside Arsenal.

Today's episode is the Arsenal Press Pass show, where I'm joined by the Telegraph's Sam Dean and the Sun's Simon Collings. This is a weekly show which is usually exclusive to Inside Arsenal Patreon members, but this week I'm putting it out for all my YouTube and podcast subscribers to watch as well.

In this week's show we discuss Bukayo Saka's injury and debate whether it will lead to more minutes for Max Dowman. We also look back on the draw with Bayern Munich and look ahead to tomorrow's game with Everton in the Premier League, discussing who we think could start at the Emirates. As always, we end by answering several of your questions and then it's Sam vs Simon in the quiz.
