Subscribe to The Guardian Football Weekly ►    / @footballweeklypodcast   On the podcast today: Arsenal win at Villa in one of those wins no one remembers when you win the title in May. It was a tight game, Aston Villa looked better than their opening weekend hammering at the hands of Brighton but do possess a concerning lack of cutting edge. Arsenal didn’t offer huge amounts more, but when it mattered Bukayo Saka scored the crucial goal and that’s enough to maintain their 100% start to the season. Elsewhere, an actually quite interesting transfer window? Bradley Barcola to Liverpool and lots of deals semi-poised to take place on deadline day. Ndiaye to Manchester City, Enzo Fernandez too. Plus, Lionel Messi announces his retirement from international football and your questions answered.
