Yes, Tom. We'll have updates on qualifying from 1000 p.m. this evening. And there's of course more Formula 1 news over on Talk Sports uh driving YouTube channel. Right, let's discuss Arsenal then. They host Everton uh which you're going to catch. For the third game in the row in midweek, Mikuel Arteta's subs contributed two positive results for his side. So against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, EZ came off the bench, scored the opener. Really pleased for him, especially after having to come off at Halime. So a great response by him. >> Fair play to the manager there by the way as well. Sometimes you take players off at half time and you get a terrible response or the manager can discard you. He's actually introduced him very quickly knowing that okay it's not your night son but be ready for the Bayern Munich game >> should start today. >> Well I think because of injuries and sack has got injured as well you know he could easily play today. Um, and he's found it. It's been a, you know, a tough time for him at Arsenal since he's moved from, uh, from Crystal Palace. He's a good footballer. Very good footballer. I just sometimes he he can be a little bit sloppy with his passing, as in Arsenal don't like losing the ball. I mean, not any team likes losing the ball, but Arsenal, they really, you know, try and keep hold of that ball as long as they can, hold possession. And, uh, he's he's a fabulous talent. There's no doubt about it. He's a great footballer, Ez. >> Yeah. I mean, Aka Saka being injured. How big a blow is that? >> Um, yeah. And Arteta is talking in the paper today, Katy, about, you know, that he's not as durable as he used to be. >> Yeah. >> Um, you know, when you're a young lad and you're playing a lot of football and you're playing weak and there you're so reliant on Saka to deliver, which he's done for me more often than not. Um, and then he gets an injury. He he looked like in midweek he was sort of struggling before he actually came off injured. I think it was the fact that also he did it with no players around him which is always a concern and then we saw him go down. They're saying you know up to two months which is really just devastating news for him as well. >> Well you he's playing so much football. He's come off the back of a World Cup into the start of the season very quickly playing you know more often than not for Arsenal. He was out injured last year for a period. Look they've got a lot of choice Arsenal. They really have. >> On that loss Saka is enormous. You know who I'd like to see. >> I know you're going to >> play on the right wing. I think lots of Arsenal fans would love to see this happen. Whether it does is a different conversation. I would love to see Max Dalman start on the right against Everton. He's already changed his fixture once. Remember scoring that amazing? >> I was I was at the game. >> Were you? >> I was at the game. Yeah. >> And that's when his name was up in lights. We already knew he was amazing. >> He scored from the corner, didn't he? The corner against >> but he's he's shown that he's ready. Give him that responsibility. This is a great game to do it because obviously he he played so well against Everton last time out. Noni Madu is the experienced one and probably Mikuel Arteta will play him on the right wing, but I just think Dalman has earned his start. Mix it up. Just give him the chance. Give him the responsibility. He's shown he's ready. Even Messi is calling one of the best young players on the planet. >> My thought on this is Mik Arteta is doing what all managers have to do of this time of year. When you're in the Champions League, you got lots of Champions League football. You got a lot of important Premier League matches. You got other cup competitions. you're managing the team to get through this period because once you into this format of you know in the Champions League it's a it's one big table you're playing a lot of football so you're going to have to manage players so you you're going to have to utilize a lot of different you know permutations of his side and that's what Arsenal and Arteta will do is because it you know when PSG won their first uh Champions League they weren't good until Christmas but the second part of the season and I even remember Enrique saying talking about it will be a better team because they were playing game after game after game and they weren't quite primed to even though they spent a lot of money they weren't quite primed to you know the French league they can switch off slightly like they had at the start of this season you know PSG are not top of the French league at the moment there's they've second but they started really poorly >> but I guarantee you by when it comes February time they'll be 10 15 points ahead and they'll be in the latter stage of the Champions League quite >> I still I still think they'll win the Champions >> yeah exactly do it three in a row. >> I think Arsenal are going to try and do the same thing. Is like they made the final. Is it a coincidence both these teams made the final last year? Arsenal are going to have to manage their way through to the Champions League stages into the Premier League games. >> We will have updates on Arsenal against Everton. You won't be doing the updates, but you'll be there at the game from 3:00 this afternoon on game day live. Right, it is time to do our predict six. >> Talk Sport Predict six.

First up, Cass, you need to choose two teams to win from these four matches. So, Arsenal against Everton, commentary against Fulham, Palace against Newcastle, and Man United against Bournemouth. >> Um, well, I'll definitely go Arsenal to beat Everton. I think like they did last year. said, "I think they just got too much for Everton, so I'll go there." The other games are quite tough. I'll probably opt for Palace beating Newcastle, even though both teams have not had great runs of late. I just think that Palace might have the edge in this one. Newcastle have been really poor in recent weeks. >> Not that Palace have been great, but I'll go for Palace and Arsenal. >> Okay, next up, we need two correct scores. First up, Chelsea against Spurs at Stamford Bridge. Who Who will it end in tears for Ohara? >> Uh oh. Surely I >> Yeah, I'll go I'll go. Yeah, Chelsea fancy something like 3-1. >> Okay, then a massive clash as Liverpool host Brighton. >> Well, tough call this one. I I'm going to do what I did last week. Let me heartwarm my head and say Liverpool, but I'm saying it with gritty teeth. >> Yeah, >> Liverpool win. Yeah, >> Liverpool to win. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And finally, our featured scorecast game. Sunderland hosting leads at the Stadium of Light. For this one, I need both the correct score and the first goal scorer. >> Oh, uh, leads 2-1 and Jaden Bogle. >> Okay, so to recap, all you need to do is select your two winning teams, two correct scores, and a scorecard, and you can net £50,000.
