Now that man can finish off opponents...especially in pubs...don't mess

Lukaku straight in the team, I like it. He’ll score first.

Chalobah dropped as expected. 

Very, very harsh on Trev being dropped like that, also concerning we have no Kante.

Arsenal team:

 

Team to play Chelsea: Leno, Soares, Holding, Mari, Tierney, Lokonga, Xhaka, Pepe, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Saka

Subs: Ramsdale, Aubameyang, Maitland-Niles, Tavares, Chambers, Nelson, Elneny, Balogun, Kolasinac

He is on the bench probably will come on depending on how we deal in midfield.

 

You lot will have to speak up, can’t hear you over the f**king amazing away support!

Our team and subs:

Team to play Arsenal: Mendy, Christensen, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Mount, Havertz, Lukaku

Subs: Kepa, Silva, Kante, Werner, Chalobah, Zouma, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Ziyech

Gameday!!  Up the Chels! 

Arsenal have to target Dave and our whole left side. Both are slow and they have good pace. Martenelli always scores against us.

Should imagine TT will change to a back 4 at some point to accommodate more forwards...

Come On Chelsea!

Lukaku starting 😀

Am expecting Arsenal to defend deep and counter as they have lots of pace to break in that side.

I won't update my Zeta prediction but I now am expecting Arsenal to win nicking goals on the break.

Out of topic a bit. Just been watching Southampton MU game. Livramento...wow.  He has been the best player on the pitch by far today.

Shame they did not use Broja or they could have won.

I'd like to of seen Lukaku and Werner as a duo, could backfire, because we know although he aint exactly 'smashing it' he is a quality provider...?

Think our idea is Arsenals plan is defend deep and counter us with pace while we have bodies caught up field. 

If Werner has not space to run in to he creates little, so Havertz and Mount offer more in theory. Though arguably Zyiech offers more in tight spaces than either of them.

There were barely any stops in second half. referee adds 5 minutes to help MU win it.  5 minutes past. 1 more minute  added for 2 more MU attacks.  Fergie was in the seat. Fergie "time" ? 🙂

That's good. If he keeps up like that we might need to do that.

Even our bench of 9 players should beat this lot..

                     Kepa

   Chalobah   Silva   Zouma

                     Kante

CHO             Ziyech        Chilly

                    Werner

Yea saw that, if Armstrong had of scored, they'd still be playing, never 5 minutes of ET

Ziyech on the bench is a good sign.

I don't see it that way, I see it as Tuchel giving minutes to those that need it and maybe looking for something different today. We are lacking width, so maybe he is thinking that one of James or Azpilicueta (whoever is playing cb) can move out of defence and provide it.
