The A team I would like to see:

 

Bettinelli

 

James

Fofana

Colwill

Cucurella

 

Caicedo

Lavia

 

Palmer

Nkunku

Neto

 

Jackson

 

Palmer has got marked out of 2 of his last 3 games.

So let's switch him back to the right, allowing Christo to play in his number 10 against  a big side. See if he shows up 

Also how will Sanchez balls up this time?

This game more than any ( along with the spuds, and the bin dippers ) I want us to win/batter them, mostly because of their obnoxious,deluded,arrogant sh*t fans.

After the sh*tshow at Old Trafford I'm not even sure what to expect from this team anymore. At least Poch had the injuries excuse.

We will get slaughted unless the defence and keeper stop pissing around at the back, Arsenal are not the same team they have been for the last two seasons, DONT give away stupid freekicks or corners, thats all they've got

Hope to see a team like this against the bellends from N London....

Hampton 

Reece Buchanon Bright Cucu

Caicedo Cuthbert

Kaneryd Palmer Reitin

Beevor Jones 

.......don't think it'll happen though 😁....

Sanchez redemption arc.

Is it just me that finds this club and it’s fans the most nauseating f**king arsewholes on the planet 

I think it's going to be another draw. Arsenal hasn't be good lately, we are in with a good chance ( assume Palmer is match fit), but the usual slips up from our backline and GK will be capitalized.

Their chance creation from open play is among the worse in the league. 

Like Newcastle, I imagine we will somehow forget this statistic and become our own worst enemy somewhere.

We just need to limit the amount of set-pieces, whether that is corners or free-kicks, that is their strong point and one that worries me. Annoyingly Odegaard will be back for this. Hopefully he is not at sharpest as he has been injured for 2 months but they defo need him.

He just started training with the first team. He's still a question mark. 

Another question mark is Rice as he hasn't travelled with the squad to Milan. Being assessed.

Last season's fixture, we outplayed the Rice/Odegaard midfield pair for most of the game. It was that awful Sanchez mistake that let them back into the game and ultimately cost us the win. I feel confident that we can match them in midfield again. Key will be taking our chances, and hopefully not making silly mistakes at the back.

Odegaard will defo be in the squad Sunday. Just how sharp he is, is the question. Wow, just seen about Rice.

Arteta ruled our Odegaard until after the International break.

 

Ref for Sunday Mr. Look at me Michael Oliver 

Looks like he's back early...

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard could return when Mikel Arteta's side face Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday. (Beeb)

 

 

Thats a shame for us. Ah well...

Just hope Inter given them a f**king game.

He’s going to score the winner with a diving header from a corner in the last seconds of the game. Unfortunately he’ll be in his own box when he does it.

Rule NO.1. Never trust a word that Arteta says. He said the same about Saka before the Liverpool game then guess what he played...

Arsenal are on a really bad run at present and struggling to score goals so the pessimist in me says that will come to an end on Sunday and Havertz will find his scoring boots.

We should have beaten them last season but for a Sanchez brain fart and we certainly should have the beating of them if players step up and we don't play as ponderous as we did against Man Utd. Defence still looks iffy and with Sanchez you always know they'll be at least one howler but hopefully Palmer is fit and we can add to the Gooners misery.

Hate to lose to this lot so PLEASE make my weekend Chelsea rather than ruin it...................!!

I really hate that the kids are giving these teams, "big" teams, too much respect when if they just play their game I can see Chels beating them!

Liverpool, man utd, and even Newcastle (for some reason!) It feels as if they held back and lacked confidence which I unfortunately see happening with Arsenal too! 

They all need a slap and someone to tell them to wake the fk up. They are better than the gooners and need to show no fear or mercy.

My feeling about this game is opposite to the United game. The United game I expected to lose, but for some strange reason I expect us to win this game.

My feeling is that this is going to be the worst match of this PL season. The pressure is on Arsenal and they are probably going to revert to the thugish, dark art bullsh*t. Zero football, lots of fouls, lots of yellow cards, rugby stuff live on prime time.

Battle of the Bridge Mark II.
