## Resource

Art de Roché and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss all things Arsenal and look ahead to the match against Southampton in the FA Cup this weekend. The panel reflect on 11 Arsenal players withdrawing from international duty, the outside noise around this, Ben White being booed on his England return, contributing factors to Saka’s less impactful season so far, and what Odegaard can bring to the team as he nears a return from injury. Plus, they look ahead to the run-in, Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday, we hear from Phoebe in Hong Kong in this week’s instalment of ‘Up Your Arsenal’ and they pay tribute to David Rocastle on the 25th anniversary of his passing.
