Arsenal vs City pre-match thread

[Ric]

Still over a week away, but thought I'd get the thread up now anyway. Hopefully we won't pick up any injuries over the international break, and can get either Zabaleta or Sagna back for this one.

At least it's a Sunday 4pm game so gives the players on international duty extra recovery time

Good time to be playing Arsenal, they are not in a good place at the moment, City need to capitalise on that and make sure we get a result, we need a win.. We need to start converting the chances we create, very frustrating watching us take a point or less from games we should be winning.. We need 4 form the next two games, 6 would be great but that's a big ask playing Chelsea so soon after...

Hopefully we have enough about us to see off Arsenal right now. We're good away, they've lost 4 in their last 5 and the win was against Lincoln at home, they're famous for buckling under pressure. We can win this one.

Caba
Zaba
Ota
Johna
Ferna
Yaya
Silva

Sana

Affects both teams equally I'd have thought.

Be surprised if we have Zaba back, a grade 1 strain is usually 3 weeks rest minimum. Saying that though, it's Zaba.

Wounded tiger or savaged sheep? Hard to tell. They can't afford a defeat that's for sure.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I can't see past us. Avoid letting in an early goal and avoid defensive cock ups, we should win pretty comfortably

1-3

De Bruyne has not trained today due to 'pain in the groin', no indication yet if this will keep him out of the Arsenal game.

Hopefully he just had a late night last night with the missus and doesn't fancy playing against Greece.
