About this episode

In May 2003, Arsenal started on an unbeaten run that would last for 49 Premier League games.

The team became known as 'The Invincibles'.

They were the first team to go unbeaten all season since Preston North End in 1888.

Former Arsenal defender, Lauren, and British comedian, Alan Davies, speak to Matt Pintus about that team.
