Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Feel like most of the 11 pick themself but the big one is will he go Kovavic or Grealish

Ederson (if fit)
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Kev
Haaland

Or Grealish in for Kova and Foden more central.

I live in Essex now, and know plenty, and they are utterly unbearable, when they win a game! Fuck them winning the league!

their one redeeming feature, in fairness, is that they aren't spurs fans.

 

[Bluewars II]

We've played them once with half the squad out and they fluked a last minute deflection. If this doesn't end 3=0 to City I'd be shocked

We haven't beaten a top 4 team this season and you're saying you'd be shocked if we don't win 3-0 lol.

 

[TinFoilHat]

We're going to beat them.

I'd be surprised if Grealish started in what's going to be one of the most intense and fierce games all season, given that he has barely played football since early January and got injured twice in the two starts he had after that.

How could he possibly be in top condition? A start vs Villa maybe, vs Palace probably, but Arsenal or Real? Another first-half injury would mean curtains for this season...

We have to be the 12th man tomorrow in what will be a very difficult game to win, bring on the noise and get behind this amazing team!!!

Getting there early, I like it

 

[stonerblue]

It might surprise you but Southgate is not forcing any players to play for national team and Stones can actually tell Southgate that he is not fit enough and refuse the call up.

Stones can refuse and always have that choice but he always wants to choose to play for national regardless whether he is fit enough to play for national team.

Haha. Why the fuck would any of that surprise me?
If you don't play for England when asked, you don't get asked again

 

[burning blue soul]

It's such a relief that all the injured arsenal players look to be available for weekend. The magic sponge has done it yet again
Same goes for Kane.
It's a fucking miracle!!

Manchester City have "raised the bar to levels not seen before in football" but Arsenal are "getting closer", says Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Come back in 10 years and see whst you have won. Then maybe you can talk about getting near our level

 

[RayCTID]

But they have already have..twice this season.

Both occasions they weren't fantastic.

I’m Looking forward to Sunday myself

We’ve played one top 4 side at home this season, and but for Allison falling over in the breeze we’d have won that one

 

[Dannyblue52]

We’ve played one top 4 side at home this season, and but for Allison falling over in the league we’d have won that one

We've also lost once in 32 games!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Southgate is a ****, we all know that. But we are where we are, we have a great team with or without Kyle and John, let’s just focus on beating the tarquin tossers

 

[eversince 76]

I’d rather have Walker fit vs Real. Stones will be missed but is replaceable. We have played quite some games without him.
Long story short, we are not a one man team other than Rodri. And Rodri is fit.

It won’t be as easy as it was a year ago. But we play at home, and we do not lose many games since a few months. So I’m positive yet nervous.

We however do need to create another special atmosphere. Again. Great no? Pep says he is happy his team are in a position we play these games. Every City-fan should be instead of crying and losing faith due to the loss of a few players.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

we have only played one of them at home you plonker

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

I'm aware it's a slim chance, but I find all the Grealish shouts a bit odd. Even when he has been fit this season, he's been a mile off it.

Agree ,Grealish is miles away from last season's form but the break and the fact he is now fighting for his place hopefully will bring the best out of him , if we can get last season's Grealish for the last dozen games we can win the lot again.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Prepare to be shocked

Correct , it will be 5-0 :)

 

[Sergio<3]

Shoot towards the south stand second half and we will blast them! CITY
