Portsmouth 1 Arsenal 4 - INSTANT REACTION! Plus Chelsea Preview

A routine 4-1 away win in the 3rd round of the FA Cup for Arsenal reserves. In seriousness though, that starting 11, 10 changes from the Liverpool game, must be a terrifying prospect for all our rivals. We have such depth this season. Anyway, join Holly, Chris and, from the ground, Stef, as we react to the performance at Fratton Park. We also look ahead to Wednesday's semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge - we explore what approach and team selection Arteta may go for, especially when looking ahead to Forest away on Saturday. Is the league cup now an important trophy, in terms of this team actually winning something? Or should he prioritise the league game on Saturday and perhaps rest a few again? We also run through a few more positives from today, and have a final word on the Martinelli narrative this week.
