Luke and Jim watched Thierry Henry open some balls and David Villa hit his big button and – voilá – after all the usual nonsense UEFA fanfare, Arsenal got their Champions League draw. And it's looking pretty tricky...

It’s been a winning week for Arsenal! Laura and Rory are here to look back on our preseason victories over Paris FC and Manchester City, where there were two late winners and plenty of new faces got minutes off the bench. Now, with Charlton up next in the final pre-season friendly, what do they still need to show?

Elsewhere, Renée Slegers seems to be happy with her squad, but with the transfer window closing soon, Rory can't help but feel there may still be some work to do. At least Arsenal’s new set-piece coach Nikita Runnacles could bring some joy...

We are so back. Arsenal cruised to victory over Coventry City on Friday night – and then (almost) everyone proceeded to slip up.

Laura and Luke are joined by Shay Gunner for a gleeful review of Bukayo Saka's sharpness, Myles Lewis-Skelly looking even more at home in midfield after some fine fermentation last season, and Christos Tzolis' unexpected homecoming in Brugge. Plus, Shay has some #breakingnews regarding Julián Alvarez.
