Second half of the season, can we make it to the magic six games won figure?
Probably not.
Chelsea and United at home, perfect chance for Arteta to announce himself as the real deal.
With Chelsea misfiring a bit (although most notably at home rather than away), we ought to win this if we play more directly as in the first half at Bournemouth, but as always the defemce is the big worry
What have we got left to choose from at the back? 2 available CBs and 1 available fullback (and that’s if you class AMN as a fullback)? Guess the defence pretty much picks itself.
Really hope the week Arteta has had to work with these guys has been enough to at least drill some positional discipline into them, because we know they’re not the best defenders, and some of them have got to be getting tired now.
Sky's programme starts in a couple of minutes.
Arsenal: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Chambers, David Luiz, Saka, Torreira, Guendouzi, Nelson, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Martinez, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Willock, Smith Rowe, Pepe, John-Jules.
Chelsea: Kepa, Rudiger, Zouma, Tomori, Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Kante, Emerson, Mount, Willian, Abraham.
Subs: Caballero, Christensen, Lamptey, Jorginho, Barkley, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi.
Carragher, Murray and Souness in the studio.
Neville pitchside at the Emirates for now.
We have a lot of injuries. That bench is pretty bad.
John-Jules to come on and steal the show - place youe bets now ;)
Maybe 2 out of that starting XI are nailed on starters, and a couple more might have a 50/50 shot of starting with everyone fit. At least half of that team are backups and squad players though - this is gonna be tough.Quote:
