    The 5:30pm KO on Saturday. We have been a force to be reckoned with at home but Arsenal have been a joke at the back this season so it’s going to be very difficult to score. Of course their quality far outweighs what we have but so long as we are competitive & give them a game I’ll be pleased.

    I’m confident we can give anyone a game at the SOL so I’ll say 1-1 to continue our good form.

    We’re coming into this a bit wounded. Gyokeres and Martinelli won’t take part on top of Odegaard, Havertz, Madueke and Jesus.

    I think Zubimendi will be alright after coming off against Burnley.

    Raya
    Timber Saliba Gabriel Calafiori
    Zubimendi Rice
    Saka Eze Trossard
    Merino

    We’re just not the same team with Merino up front. You back him to take a chance if he gets one but the flow of the whole attack is off.

    Gonna be a tough one, Sunderland in good shape.

    Based purely on their form and league position, I'd have had Sunderland down as giving Arsenal a few issues here. But then I watched the Everton game. Play like that, particularly the first half, and you can give Arsenal the points now. Regardless, I think they'll have too much for them.

    1-2

    Free hit this one. Arsenal (or any team) fighting for the title are gonna be tough.

    Rumours of Xhaka being out but think (hope) it's just clickbait.

    Should be a routine away win, going 1-2 or 0-2. Just hope we can give them a game on TV for the neutrals :hiding

    We'll have to play a lot better than we did vs Everton 1st half if we are to get something. Would take your arm off for a draw tbh. Hopefully we at least turn up.

    They're not ****ing seriously trying to say that was malicious are they? :laugh:

    You can probably win it without trying to get players sent off Arsenal, you horrible c*nts.

    Jesus I'd read the hype but haven't really watched them till now. What a wank team and their wanker manager running around the manager box there waving his arms about, despite an obvious foul.

    Yet calls for a red when a defender gets the better of his forward.

    Let's hope someone pulls their finger out and catches these up.

    That's a cracking goal. Ballard for the narrative.

    At least three times already they've rolled around making more out of nothing, the Gabriel dive or whatever it was, was embarassing.

    They're no purists dream, just brutally effective at what they do.

    A weakness is they can rile a home crowd with their antics.

    Yep, got Raya.

    At least now we won't get reminded every few minutes about another landmark reached without a goal conceded.

    Van Der Sar got 1300 PL minutes once. That record will stay.

    I once went ten minutes in table football not conceding. Impressive.
