Arsenal away - Sunday 27th Oct @ 430pm

[frank the tank]

Let's smash these Landan pricks.... Would be beautiful to win here as it would be a real kick in the bollocks to them after them losing last week.

With their manager moaning about his injury problems already, hopefully that negatively filters down to the players. They said Saka is out so he will probably start. It'd be good to put a leveller on him in the first 5 mins or so.

Team mostly picks itself - it will be interesting to see if Jones gets the nod after his good game v Chelsea but not sure if he makes the 11 to be honest. Can't see Arne sacrificing Szoboslais industry here to be honest

Anthony Taylor the ref so we will have to win by 2 clear goals to have any hope of getting any points.

Think we match them in every department so for every thing anyone could point at as a way Arsenal could hurt us, you could say for us doing the same to them.

Fully expecting snide tactics from the first whistle with snipers in the stands taking out Arsenal players on a regular basis.

Now that changes of course if Arsenal go behind, then suddenly their players can withstand robust challenges and do not fall at the hint of contact.

Think I would bring Jones back in for Szobo and maybe Robertson for Tsimi.

Then stick with the other none that started against Leipzig though I suspect Slot will start Diaz.

It's a good time to play this really tough fixture, we are in great form, squad is strong & they are missing key players. Even if Saka makes the game, they could be rushing him back from a hamstring injury so it's risk, especially with Newcastle, Inter & Chelsea away games back to back coming up. Beating them would be huge though. Think there will be some sparks in this game.

[BigChief]

I think the CL game showed who is starting. Szobo didn't get a rest so he's probably on the bench.

Usual back 5
Gravo Maccao Jones
Salah Nunez Diaz

[spud_gun]

Not sure you can leave out Dom. He's been excellent this season.

I think he'll start alongside Grav and Mac

Lot of tough games coming up though so a bit of rotation in the middle might be needed. Slot also alluded to that in the pre match interview he did last night.


We have Arsenal (A) on Sunday.

Three days later we have Brighton (A) in the cup.

Three days later we have Brighton (H) in the league.

Three days later Leverkusen (H).

Four days later Villa (H).


Then another International break I think



I suppose the good thing is that we have three home games in a row to end that list of games though we are currently in a run of three aways in a row including last night so swings and roundabouts.

[danperkins]

Yeah rotation is an absolute must & fingers crossed it does seem like the everyone is really mucking in and doing their part.

[Pablo]

They played for a bore draw against City last season and I can see them doing the same here.

It is a massive opportunity for us to lay down a marker. We will never have a better chance to batter them than this, which weirdly makes me nervous

[Paul12]

No, Arsenal will look to start fast and catch us cold. A good result for us in this match will be a real statement.

[memzey]

Nervous about this. If we get away with a draw I'd be happy.

[spud_gun]

Haven't beaten them in the league in a couple of seasons.

We're due one

Hope it is not a serious injury like the one Coutinho got with the muscle in his back.

Have a little thing in the back of my mind about TAA suddenly getting lots of "injuries" as we get closer to January.
