I'm off to lubricate the vocal chords make a long day of it and check out a few bars as theres penty around the area (and Kebab Shops). Will be at the White Swan or auld triangle if anyones about.

Its OK Ive had all my shots and passports valid! See you in cold North London guys.

Expecting a draw here, which would make the race for the last 2 spots in top 4 very interesting between us, pool & spuds.

Us, Liverpool and Spurs are getting the last 3 places im pretty sure.

We've been absolutely dire against Arsenal lately.  I still have nightmares over the community shield...they played us off the pitch.  But what better time than now to turn things around!  New year, new attitude!

No red card for us would be a good start.

I was there with the Mrs. Was painful to watch. We need Drogba for this one!

I'd expect Utd to make it instead of Spurs.

Cahill trying to mark and defend that front 3 of Lacazette, Sanchez, and Özil looks like an area they'll try to really exploit.

Their attack looks every strong but their defense and midfield look very suspect. If our 3 midfielders and Hazard/Morata are sharp and at their best we should be having our way in midfield and around their box.

Only way I can see us struggling is if we come out like slow motion zombies as we've done at times this season. Take the fucking game to them!

I refuse to believe neither Pedro or Moses can get a start here.

Wenger always seems to switch to 3-4-3 to nullify us and tbh he’s successful. Now we’re with the 3-5-2. Let’s see if it’s going to make a difference.

I was hoping we would go with a front three after our performance against Stoke. Shame Rudiger has been dropped to the bench as well

[Pizy 18,861]

Really, this is basically our strongest XI (give or take Cahill) and that Arsenal XI is missing several key players. A couple of raw kids in defense, Xhaka + Wilshere who can both look decent one game and awful the next. 

Would be pretty...I don't know if I'd say embarrasing, but it would be pretty bad if we lost this. Especially knowing what 3 points would mean. I know it's a derby against a hated rival and anything can happen, but we must win this.

I believe our record at the Emirates is among the best in England. Let's make it even better! Fingers crossed Alvaro practised finishing. I would love him to score tonight!

Last chance for Bakayoko in my eyes. If he can't pull it together he might as well go to Vitesse or something for the rest of the season.

I have been calling for a return to the 3-4-3 but I have no problem with the 3-4-3 in this game. Still I'll have liked to see Rudiger instead of Cahill and Drinkwater instead of Bakayoko but Conte was never going to do that.
