MY WEEK

WHO’S CAUGHT MY EYE... LUCAS TORREIRA

I have been really impressed since he arrived in England and his performances for Arsenal have been getting better by the week. He is a top prospect.

NEXT UP FOR ME...

A rEturn to one of my old clubs this afternoon and a big game with Aston Villa. I’ve got great memories of my time there, particularly of the late Graham taylor and Doug Ellis, but there will be no sentiment. We are building a decent unbeaten run and confidence is growing by the week.

WHAT I’M LISTENING TO...

IF, like me, you have a young family, I’d say you will be familiar with The Greatest Showman soundtrack. My eldest daughter, Sophia, absolutely loves the movie but we’ve had the music on so much I think I know every song word for word.

WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO...

For one week only, it should be ‘What I will be up to’. on Wednesday I will be conducting the draw for the Carabao Cup semi-finals in London with Piers Morgan. I can’t imagine what mood he will be in if that night’s tie at the Emirates Stadium doesn’t go Arsenal’s way!
