Same as at the Bridge last year hopefully. Sit compact, press them and then exploit them on the counter. Hopefully Willian or even Salah starts ahead of Schurrle, his finishing was woeful tonight.

A match vs le arse could assist Zie German's finishing woes. He had a stellar match vs le arse last season in that 6-0 drubbing.

Mikel, Matic and Cesc in a midfield 3 for this, Mikel can sit and let Matic press the shit out of their midfield, his pressing and harrasing in this fixture last season was the main reason we swarmed all over them.

Looking forward to this.

Would you really drop Oscar for this match? Even given how well he has been playing?

This one is really tough, on one hand we're at home against the incapable le arse "AND IF WE DONT PLAY ATTACKING FOOTBALL I'LL BE DAMNED!" :D

but on the other, i can see JM being a bit guarded in his line-up and play A Matic-Mikel (assuming Rambo is still out) and maybe it will give Hazard/Cesc/whoever that much more freedom to press cause of the cover they'd have and then even when Matic isnt successful in some of his challenges another DM is there to sweep things up.

Interesting to see what he does, gonna be a good game. Not necessarily a smashing though, i bet money Le Wenger will actually come here looking for the draw, and change his tactics. Hope im wrong tho.

Decision decisions, nice to have options, not long ago we went into games knowing Malouda and Anelka will have another stinker.

I don't think we will play as high up as last season tho, they had barely any pace last season at The Bridge, this time Welbeck and Sanchez will be playing.

Arsenal have a bunch of injured players(Arteta, Ramsey, Debuchy, Monreal, Giroud, Sanogo, maybe Wilshere too), I think it's the time not to play it safe. Oscar has had very good games this month, I wouldn't leave him out of the starting eleven.

Anyways, hoping to see a lineup like this:

Thibaut

Brana Cahill Terry Dave

Matic Fabre

Willian Oscar Eden

Costa

Willian seems to be in great form at the moment, playing really well against Villa, and had a fine half an hour yesterday. Dunno if Gunners are playing Gibbs or Monreal, but I rate Willian's technique over Schürrle's speed in this game. Schürrle didn't have his best match yesterday, and I reckon Mou playing Willian over him. Other than that, no surprises. The team seems in great form, and Costa's fitness is my only concern. I can't see Remy playing the whole second half, if the score is equal. Costa is an absolute beast, and his physical presence should scare big Mertesacker & Koscielny, rather than Remy. That being said, I can see Remy getting 20+ minutes, as his speed could kill them as well.

I see some mentioning Salah in the lineup, which would surprise me a lot if he is to find in there. Don't get me wrong, I like Salah's technique, but no way I can see Mou picking him for the starting XI.

I also want to see this line-up but i think mourinho wud start schurrle because of his speed and ability to run behind defences which could be very vital in this game tho am not a big fan of him but just like the 6-0 drubbing schurrle's movement was really important in that game

Courtois

Azpi Cahill Terry Luis

Matic Fabregas

Willian Oscar Hazard

Costa

Think Oscar deserves to start, he has upped it the last few games. No Schurrle for me, replaced him with Willian and also start Luis and put Dave back at RB. This is what I think not what Jose may choose, I think he will go with Brana at RB and Dave at LB leaving Luis out.

Bring Schurrle on when we are 5-0 up.
