Summary: Every winter it seems we learn something new about a team in the chase for the Premier League title where it either confirms something unexpected or a new development that must be considered as the transfer window does become a factor, and joining us to explore that very question is award-winning Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling who helps us glance under the hood with Arsenal. For most of the early part of the season much has been said about the depth and quality at striker, but beneath that talking point has been the emergence of a solid defence with surprising resilience that helped Arsene Wenger negotiate the curves and misfortunes only amplified by the loss of Theo Walcott. We also glance into the matter of the Ross Barkley injury at Everton and what that could do to season expectations at Goodison Park and how critical his extended absence could be on a team with some depth yet certainly not blessed with exceptional options should further attrition takes its untimely toll. Also in focus here are the ongoing concerns for Manchester United as the transfer window beckons and what exactly must be in serious thought behind the scenes for Wayne Rooney as a new contract has entered the picture and the transition has not yet gone into full gear. We also examine the outlook for the England national team in terms of how Roy Hodgson could approach his final roster come June, and then comes a new question on the horizon and that is whether The FA and Hodgson would be willing to re-open the door to John Terry given an unresolved past transgression and with full knowledge that his veteran presence would be needed to give a young defensive unit the leadership and guile so desperately required should England have a hope of making a bit of noise come the knockout rounds.
