Glad someone mentioned the KO time had changed for TV or I’d have made a right fool of myself. Currently window shopping in Oxford St and will head over to Highbury in good time for 5:30.

With Velts and Hinsh at full back I think we could be taught a lesson today. Saka will turn Hinsh inside out.

On a positive note, Welbz, Pedro, Mitoma and Minteh is a top level attack 4 for Arsenal to stop.

They then have to think about the likes of Rutter, Enciso and Adingra going for glory at the end.

My thoughts are similar. Hope to be proven wrong

Not ideal having JH playing out of position, but when on it, Saka can terrorise any left back in the country. Whoever plays there is going to need Mitoma's help. The issue is not going to be Jack, it's going to be the need to get back quickly into the low block when out of possession. The first games have suggested that we're learning it, but we don't get it right every time yet. If we get it wrong today, they have the clinical attackers to punish us, not just on the right, but everywhere.

Apart from Saka who normally scores 20 goals a season who is clinical in front of goal for them?

Had a dream before waking up today that Brighton beat Arsenal 2.0. Gotta have a pound on Betfair for that score. Thank me later lol

Most teams will lose to Arsenal at their ground, even Man City will find it tricky. I hope we win, we have attackers who can hurt them, but if we don’t we’re still in good shape heading towards the international break. I just hope we play to our best.

In hindsight at the end of this season, if we lose today and it means Citeh don’t win the PL because of then I won’t be too disappointed. We’ll have done our bit!

Baleba may possibly play at Left Back to counter Saka. We’ll see soon.

Does anyone actually know the reason why though?
My son reckoned it was to allow for more betting on the game.

My view is that it allows for more precise NSC bed wetting, rather than the vague "We're screwed if he picks Milner..Hinchlewood at Left back...etc.

Anyway, we definitely have game changing options on the bench today, so feeling confident.

I guess that this may be a dig at Havertz, but I'm fairly sure that he scored more EPL goals than Joao Pedro last year.

Love Joe Marler on TNT, calling out Hurzelers lid and Lloyd Christmas

again impressed by the way Hurzeler talks, although probably second choice, its looking more and more like he should have been first choice.

This is a free hit, I’m not expecting a win and as long as we don’t embarrass ourselves I’m fine and prepared for a defeat.
Anything better than that and I’m going to be over the moon
