Ange doesn't know how to park the bus and that will only play into our hands. Son is a concern despite having a poor season, if we keep him quiet then we have a decent chance of getting the 3 points.

Poor season? Hmm. He's equalled his second highest league total ever. The only time he has scored more league goals is when he won the golden boot.

I guess that's even more cause to be worried, even if he's not as his best, his goal scoring is pretty much as good as before.

Either way I'm not too worried about this game. The players know exactly how massive the game its really a game we can't lose. I trust them to do the job under those circumstances.
 
Same team as Fulham as so long as Earl has his shooting boots on we win comfortably.

Unfortunately the fans don't play the games. There might be a couple of local players who wouldn't want Arsenal to win it but the majority are foreign with no feelings either way. Also just like City and United players do, a lot of players from all the London clubs will probably socialise together. If so they'll bust a gut to help.their mates.
If we win it this season it will be our best ever all things considered. No fucker has done us any favours. So called rivals Chelsea rolled over, the rags were pathetic and so were Spurs until they found some fight too little too late. Villa needed the points themselves.

I’m sure remembering every time an Arsenal fan has abused a Spurs player out and about with his family will be reason enough to dry bum Woolwich.
 
Spurs had a more difficult game vs Burnley than City vs Fulham, and they have fewer options on the bench.

Their LBs are injured, and two of their forwards (Werner and Richarlison) are injured as well.

Guess we are going to attack more on the right (their left) side.

Given that they need to win too, we may try to score early and force them to be more open and take risks. Alternatively, we may try to be patient, tire them down and hit them in the 2nd half, with Doku replacing Kova if we need to score goals.

Let's hope Villa beat Liverpool tomorrow. Would make our task a lot easier.

True, but it has an impact if a crowd actively doesn’t want the team to win the game
 
My only concern is their counter attacks, and the possibility of Akanji being forward of the ball, and only having Walker in position with any pace.

I can therefore see Dias being sacrificed for Stones, who can take on that advanced position and keep Akanji ready to react. Gvardiol will also have to carefully consider his forward raids, as Spurs are strongest on their right flank.

If we were in that situation and it were the rags going for the title, I think I'd want us to lose too. But then i wouldn't go to the match.

Grealish maybe back too.

Let's hope Grealish is fully fit. But I don't think Pep will start him over Kova or Bernie.

The only question for me is whether Dias or Stones starts next to Akanji. Stones was poor vs Chelsea at Wembley, maybe he isn't fully fit or in top form.
 
Last seven league games City have scored 28 and conceded 5. Keep that in mind come Tuesday.
