Arsenal's men's team is out of the EFL Cup after a 5-3 penalty shootout loss to Fleetwood Town on Oct 28. Bukayo Saka's Oct 21 injury and Max Dowman's Oct 28 red card appeal (expected to fail) loom over the Oct 30 Liverpool match, which Merson calls a title test. The women's team advanced in the Champions League on Oct 29 with Russo's hat-trick.
