Milan 17,958 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Arsenal are on a nice run of penalties awarded against them. Let's keep the trend going! On a more serious note - we must win this and by some margin to have some breathing space in the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wouldn't miss this after last week. Going to be a toughie and I reckon Conte will go with Baks in 3-5-2 but I might like to try a 3-4-3 with Eden-Morata-Willi Alonso-Kante-Waterboy-Zapps Cahill-Andreas-Dave 3-5-2 Same but add Cescy and leave Willi Lacazette and Wilshere start, 3-4-2-1: Strongest Predicted Arsenal XI vs Chelsea http://arsenalfever.com/lacazette-wilshere-start-3-4-2-1-strongest-predicted-arsenal-xi-vs-chelsea/ Formation: 3-4-2-1 Lineup: Petr Cech was rested for the Cup defeat at the hands of Forest, but he is likely to retain his position between the sticks. Likewise, Calum Chambers is certain to be recalled in central defence, and he may partner Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi, though the latter is likely to have a late fitness test on his injury. At right wing-back, Hector Bellerin is likely to make his comeback after his match-saving effort versus the Blues last time around whilst Ainsley Maitland-Niles is probably the sole contender to start in the opposite direction with Sead Kolasinac injured. In midfield, Jack Wilshere could be paired alongside Mohamed Elneny as Wenger didn’t seem to offer a positive injury update on Granit Xhaka, who was deemed to have suffered a knock prior to the FA Cup game last weekend. Further forward, we could see first-team regulars Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez paired in the attacking midfield with Alexandre Lacazette likely to lead the line ahead of Danny Welbeck, who did little to impress versus Forest. Predicted Arsenal lineup: Petr Cech, Calum Chambers, Shkodran Mustafi, Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin, Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 We've rested 9 of our starters against Norwich, we should put at least two past Arsenal - their defence is bang average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Caballero, Azpi, Christiensen, Rudiger, Alonso, Moses, Kante, Drinkwater, Hazard, Willian, Morata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Seeing speculation on Twitter that despite his impending move to City, Sanchez may still start this. Not sure why he would risk injury here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Do or die for Morata. All eyes on him. Especially because we have same opponent, and we are playing at our ground. I hope we win, but I really hope he doesn't score a header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Do or die for Morata. All eyes on him. Especially because we have same opponent, and we are playing at our ground. I hope we win, but I really hope he doesn't score a header.He'll be starting against Leicester regardless of what he does on the pitch tonight, as we don't have any backup that Conte is content with.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 He's right under the microscope now Morata. Really interesting to see what happens if he is through one on one tonight and see how it plays out. God help him if he misses, the sheer pressure is just going to get worse and worse every week if he keeps constantly missing with his feet.

I am actually expecting him to convert one of his chances today so we can complain why he could not do it a week ago and win it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,490 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'd love to see a surprise or two today. Barkley in midfield or Musonda maybe? It is an important game but not absolutely vital that we can't field one or two young talents in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my heart can handle another 90 minutes of Morata 1v1's. I'm even contemplating not watching the game. This will be a true test of his character.

Plus talk of him going on loan. I bet we go full strength tonight. I too would like to see Barkley make an appearence but he probably isn't quite ready yet.

Game of the season so far for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
