Urghhhhhh who knows..mixed feelings..theyre a bit crap. We're unpredictable. Nothing would surprise me

[NikkiCFC 7,567]

No excuses not to beat this Arsenal side comfortably. I said 9 points before City and Villa is way more dangerous to stop this goal. 

Don't forget two games in 48 hours. Rotation needed! 

[Milan 17,835]

Oh this will be fun for sure.

[Jase 43,479]

If ever there's a banana skin game, this is the one. 

[Nero 1,794]

They will win. I can see it.

[killer1257 3,282]

Ziyech will be back, so I guess we will win that for sure. Pulisic and Ziyech together should be enough.

Ziyech is unlikely to start this one, if Lampard's use of players returning from injury is anything to go by.

Looking we might be missing at least one starting full-back for this match.

 

If by chance James is fit and Chillwell isn't,..would you prefer Azpi or Emerson to start at LB? Would personally prefer the former, and sacrifice some attacking strength on the left in exchange for defensive solidarity.

James won't be fit for this one. 

[Milan 17,835]

Alonso has a pretty good goal scoring record against Arsenal

Ah well..

I'm not expecting much from Emerson or Azpi in attack, but I hope they can remain defensively solid. Our central attacking midfield needs to step up to support our wide players.

What are the odds that we play a 3 at the back against Arsenal with Alonso returning as LWB.

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

Probably be a disappointing draw. Do not really like the setup of this game. similar to the everton and wolves ones. our away record in 2020 is an abomination. (just 5wins ). The only thing i am looking forward to is how much space we will have compared to most other away games. need pulisic and tammy to bring their a-game again and we might just outscore them.

[NikkiCFC 7,567]

What if we play like today for 75 minutes and Arsenal play their usual game. Is this going to be even watchable?

Also Silva can't play two times in 48h. 

Aston Villa attack is much better than Arsenal's. 

[Puliiszola 519]

Mendy

Azpi zouma Silva Emerson

Kova kante mount

Ziyech/CHO Tammy pulisic

Bench werner and keep Kai out of the team and we win this.

Since Arsenal need any sort of win right now to boost confidence, wonder how strong will Arteta go with the lineup against Man City tonight, especially when they have 2 days of rest after the game on Saturday.
