This game is a good test of how far we have come this season. Away from home is tough but I think we can be competitive. 

I think they'll murder us.

[Sconnie Blue]

I can genuinely see a repeat of last season's performance at the Emirates in all honesty. 

No plan and zero direction. 

[AlexTommo]

Think we'll shock them... 

By going 1 nil up unexpectedly before they ultimately turn the game in the 2nd half. 

2-1 Arsenal. Meh. 

[ChrisSW6]

What pub are people going to before the game?

No Gusto available makes things difficult. That robs us of any width (which is ultimately what killed us against Man City). This means that Chilwell must start to provide an equivalent threat down the left. We can cover him and allow him to overlap by starting Gallagher as the left-most of the three attacking mids (like we did against City).

Fitness permitting, I'd be tempted to try something a bit different. We need players capable of 'suffering' (as Conte/Carlo put it) and someone who can actually score. Mudryk and Madueke are naff off the ball, and Jackson is decent as an enabler, but without Palmer we're only really left with one half-decent finisher...

I mean we're gonna lose anyway right...?

I'll be making the short journey to my fully stocked fridge, I have a feeling I might need a few sherberts this evening

For those of a sensitive nature ....If we lose , turn away at the final whistle in case a couple of  CHELSEA players have a friendly word with a couple of Arsenal's ex CHELSEA players.

Hopefully Poch has imposed some no laughing discipline for tonight's game.

If we win, full belly laughing all over North London will be mandatory.😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Zeta]

we're f**ked

[Andy2461]

Oh god the two Monaco guys are playing we are screwed 

[CFCCAN]

Sterling can't get a start with all these injuries....off in the summer I assume?   No Silva ..Badiashille instead ...oh dear.   Not holding out much hope unfortunately.

[charierre]

Playing without a central defence 

[El regreso]

No expectations so I won’t be disappointed 

[hawkster]

We're going to get battered ffs

[Jezq8]

With the likes of gusto and palmer out and looking at that line up. I feel we could be in for a bit of a hiding 

[rocker_joker]

No defence and no offence. Won't score and will concede.  

[Scott]

Disasi and Badiashile start when Trevo and Silva were doing so well together? Poch is mad I tell you.  This is going to be embarrassing I'm afraid.

[Blue72]

Ha Ha Poch what a manager  he has picked that team especially the defence so he will have all his excuses lined up We all know he's just throwing the game. Get rid of this looser

[Sconnie Blue]

Just a horrific team based on form and quality. 

That defence. My goodness. 

[The Rising Sun]

Tonight we ruin yet another North London team's title hopes.

come on you BLUES !

[Sexyfootball]

I like the plan. Dangle a few players we want to unload in front of Arteta ... worked a treat the last couple of times LOL
