The two Alexes, Towells (@alextowells) and Collings (@alexfrco) are joined by Jon Mackenzie (@Jon_Mackenzie) to discuss the Liverpool game, before widening their scope to look at how Arsenal have fared in big games so far this season and what we can learn from their performances, then finishing off with a quick preview of the Leeds game.
