Yeah this is a big one. I am quietly confident, don’t ask me why and I know on their day those lot can be very good but I actually have a really good feeling about Thursday.

Quietly confident we can get a point, don’t think we have any chance of winning there.
Even back in the day we rarely won there.

Aye, I’m thinking a point too, which at this stage in the season would be huge. Would leave us only needing 1 win from our final 2 games.

Im under no illusion it’s going to be a hostile and tense atmosphere and our boys are really going to need to be on it, but I think Arteta and the coaches will prepare them for this. For a lot of them it’s going to be arguably their biggest club game of their careers so far.

Who are our big game players? I'm going for Saka; Eddie; Tommy and ESR in particular to thrive on the occasion...

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm not up with all the new players. Who is Tommy?

Yeah I would pretty much go with this. Maybe Martinelli if he starts ahead of ESR.

Yeah this is a bit of a tough one. Martinelli can terrorise with his running (and tracks back better too), but I back ESR rather than him to put the ball in the back of the net when we do get a sniff at goal.

[Mac76]

don't forget the defence, which is just as - if not more - important

if White's back we could maybe play him at RB and Tommy at LB with Gabriel and Holding in the middle

or maybe a back five with Saka at LB and Tommy back at RB and White, Holding and Gabs at CB

i really don't want both Cedric and Xhaka on the pitch agsinst spuds, there's too much that coud go wrong - you just know spuds will be all over Xhaka from the first minute

[Marc Overmars]

The game will probably just hinge on how well we deal with Kane. If we let him drop in and start doing his thing we could struggle. I hope Ben White is back because he’s decent at shutting that sort of stuff down. They will also put Son on Cedric/Tavares, so we’ll need a lot of tracking back there to help out.

If we win it would probably be the best result of Arteta’s tenure so far. Given the circumstances this is difficultly level 10/10.
