Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown returned to answer more of your questions as we look ahead to this weekend's Premier League action.
On the agenda this week is the battle between fierce rivals Arsenal and Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium in Sunday's north London derby. Both teams look capable of mounting a title challenge this season but Spurs will be desperate to turn around a poor run of form and a lack of recent goals when they meet their old enemies.
Jose Mourinho will also be more than a little anxious to guide Manchester United to a first Premier League win in five games to arrest their slide down the table. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic might have to end his goal drought for United to have any chance of a win.
There was plenty more to discuss too, including Pep Guardiola's tactical masterstrokes and mistakes, Ross Barkley returning to form and whether John Terry's days at Chelsea are numbered.
Scroll down below to read Martin's answers to your questions.
Arsenal. They are in such a strong position at the moment and I'd back them to win 2-0, with goals from Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Tottenham have scored just two goals in their last five games and are without a win in six in all competitions. It would be wrong of Arsenal to underestimate Tottenham, though, especially with the extra effort a derby can bring.
Dele Alli is an outstanding footballer with a great career ahead of him. He is probably Tottenham's most dangerous player. Arsenal must also be wary of the threat Kyle Walker possesses down the right. Mousa Dembele going off injured was a huge blow given his importance to the team, though. It looked like Victor Wanyama missed having the Belgian alongside him.
I've been very impressed with what Mauricio Pochettino has done at White Hart Lane. After years of not really being able to compete with Arsenal in terms of Champions League qualification, he has taken them back into the big four. It seems like Pochettino is here to stay and he'll make sure this is always a tough fixture.
Alexis Sanchez could be the man to break Tottenham hearts at the Emirates this Sunday
