I don't find them to be anything like Liverpool. Maybe they're higher energy than many teams but that's about it.

I think Arsenal are a better style for us to play. Don't get me wrong, they're clearly a very good side and more than capable of beating us on their day, especially if we're not at our best.

But head to head, I'd rather play Arsenal than the dippers in terms of style of play. The dippers have a style and energy that matches up quite well with us head to head. You get more room to play vs Arsenal.


If we played both 20 times, all teams at their best, I'd put good money us beating Arsenal more than Liverpool, regardless of the last game against Arsenal.

Given Arsenal have nowhere near as many injuries as Liverpool, it's probably safe to assume they don't play with the same intensity. Will be interesting to see whether Liverpool could sustain that level of intensity in the final months. They are a bit ordinary without it. Even United scored 4 goals the other day.

Just to put this into context Arsenal had 3 weeks off after Xmas and have won every league match since, scoring a barrel load of goals.

The break helped them build momentum after they lost 2 matches in a row. They won't be spending the time off watching Netflix.

Minor knock apparently, he'll be fine.

You've got to question the wisdom of these pointless friendlies

The Norway physio said it was a minor knock.

Re the Gabriel info I merely shared what was on Twitter. There's no further update although rumours are it's an achilles inflammation and he'll play against City and then they'll manage his minutes for the rest of the season.

Nowt wrong with him from what I read. Apart from being one of a number of players Arteta has pulled out of various squads

Yes as Harry McGuire will be guaranteed to start. Maybe Phil Foden will get a rest with Jordan Henderson in the squad?

The pair you've just named should be the last two anywhere near from starting from the camp. They also happen to be nailed on to be the first two on the sheet from Gareth.

No draw plz. Either u take the 3 points or we do. Dont want those pricks to have the edge in the title race. I dont mind losing it this season if u guys stop the red cunts and Klopp and we can try winning it next season.

Deal. A hundred times rather you than them. Rather anyone than them.
The rags? Well maybe not them, but there's no danger of that in my lifetime anyway.
 
I’m very concerned about this match, I just hope we win!
Haaland needs to be clinical for this game, we can’t afford to miss as many chances as normal, we need to score first, ideally early, I suspect Arsenal score at least twice so we’ll need to score 3 probably 4 to guarantee the points. Pray that KDB recovers quickly and that we don’t pick up any injuries. I hope Grealish is fit for this match as he may give us more control/ less transitions

I really don’t know our best starting 11 for this match, I feel bad about no Ruben but I worry about his pace versus their fast flowing football, maybe this?

——————Haaland
—Grealish—Foden——KDB
———Rodri—Stones—Bernardo
————Ake—Akanji—Walker
———————Ortega

Arsenal are an excellent side and we’ll need every f supporting the team, screaming for every decision and backing the boys in blue, I just hope we don’t get another dodgy referee.

We will get a dodgy ref. Absolutely nailed on as sure as Klopps not winning ' Theee Quad' this season....
