Ref is Anthony Taylor

Taylor was the fourth Official that Wenger was abusing in the match at Burnley last season when he got that four-game ban, He was reffing when we turned over Spuds at WHL this season and was given a much harder task when we beat Mounure 1-0 and he only gave out 4 yellows and 3 of them to them but he  was also in charge when WetSpam beat us.

Gooners over 18 games have won 61% and lost 11% and we won 67% and 13% loss. This season Taylor reffed 18 matches and is yet to give out a red card, but given 72 yellows a avg of 4 per game. But he did send Moses off last year when we played them at theirs!!

Wenger admits Mesut Ozil has 'little chance' of being fit to play against Chelsea

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5224841/Mesut-Ozil-little-chance-playing-against-Chelsea.html

Ozil has late fitness test with 30% chance of playing. Koscielny also a 30% chance. Kolasinac out for 2 weeks. Ramsey,Giroud,Cazorla, Monreal all out.Looks like Gooners really dont like Iwobi. They slated him after West Brom and didn't think too much about Bellerin neither.

Kolasinac and koscielny got injured against West Brom hope mertesacker the snail plays so hazard can rip him a new ass 😂😂😂

Thing is if you remember the last time we played them Mertesacker came back after a long time injury and had a blinder stopped everything.

A derby match of sorts.
Arsenal at home always pose difficulties.
But they are one class below us at this moment.

 

[Unionjack 7,531]

Looking on a gooner site and these are aparently their options

4-3-3 formation he has used recently

Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Chambers Maitland-Niles
Wilshere Coquelin Xhaka
Iwobi Lacazette Sanchez

Using a back 3

Cech
Holding Mustafi Chambers
Bellerin Wilshere Xhaka Maitland-Niles
Iwobi Lacazette Sanchez

This would leave Walcott, Welbeck, Elneny, Ospina and Mertesacker on the bench.

[Fulham Broadway 17,306]

Played for L'Arse and us;

Cech

Diarra Gallas Pates Ashley

Rocastle Hollins Hudson George Graham Petit Fabregas Graham (cough) Rix

Baldwin Anelka Clive Allen

Feel free to add if anyone thinks pf any more....

[Pizy 18,861]

So literally every one of our rivals won these past couple of days. Massive pressure on us now to maintain our form and get 3 points. 

[Special Juan 28,119]

3 man midfield needed here of Kante, Drinkwater and Cesc.

easy win today

Conte only won 1 out of his 5 matches against Arsenal. 3 defeats, 1 draw.

This is no laughing matter. We have to beat these guys now, don't care if it's at the Emirates.

Lose this game, and we give United, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal a massive boost.

We should be able to beat Arsenal. Our team is better than theirs. It's just a matter on what Conte puts out. I beg Conte to not go to the Emirates with a defensive mind like the other times. You failed Conte each time you do that. Switch it up and you know...go with an attacking mind? Their defense is suspect!

The only two times Conte has truly gone defensive at Chelsea was Spurs this season and Anfield last. You could argue his sketchy record against Arsenal is due to opening up a bit too much, especially with this fixture last season.

[Pizy 18,861]

Lots of talk about an injury crisis for Arsenal but I'm not buying that they'll have so many players out. I'll bet all the players Wenger says have a small chance of playing will indeed play. Still expecting them to send out a strong team with maybe 2-3 weak areas that we can exploit.

I think Conte will definitely start Bakayoko so I hope he really steps up here. That's the area of the pitch where we should have a massive advantage if we play with 3 in midfield and Bakayoko plays well. 

Our players need to show some heart and some balls tonight. Realize what's on the line and the situation around us. With the title obviously long gone there are only 3 CL places to fight for. With Spuds steadily improving and with Liverpool in red hot form plus signing VVD we don't want to slip up here. We can effectively end Arsenal's chances of catching us with a win tonight. That's a huge incentive.

We've got very winnable matches coming up after Arsenal whilst Liverpool have City and Spuds. Another opportunity to solidify our position in the top 4.
