The Commentators' View: Milner’s landmark & TCV pillow talk

All the reaction as top of the table Arsenal drop points to Manchester United at the Emirates. Chris Sutton, Steph Houghton and Rory Smith join Mark Chapman to discuss Sunday’s result in North London – are the nerves kicking in for Arsenal? And could Manchester United have a dilemma on their hands if Michael Carrick’s impressive start continues? They turn their attention to the south coast where Liverpool were beaten by Brighton – ending an unbeaten start to 2026. Have those results papered over the cracks of a “soft” Liverpool team? And they look back at the weekend’s VAR and handball controversy – were the rules applied correctly for Chelsea’s penalty at Crystal Palace?
