And to round things off, the pair drop an exclusive teaser for a brand new project with the Arsenal skipper landing later this week.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a look ahead to a huge month for Arsenal Women, with WSL action returning and three massive Emirates derbies on the calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Another big week, another big episode.
