it is but i don't think pep will play his best starting 11 with the game at the weekend coming vs cheslea and playing 3 very big games in 7 days is a lot for the team at this stage of the season. ok the champions league 2nd leg game is almost done and dusted and city should could rest players then but its the quality of the 3 games in 7 days that is why i feel pep will rest a lot on thursday night its a no lose game for me. but i feel for the fans that are going down in hope city turn up maybe the club could make sure the fan that go to arsenal got something back if that happens

Fair enough, I personally think he will go as strong as poss to keep momentum for the weekend

Don't Arsenal have an indoor training pitch?

Can see us going like this:
Ederson
Walker Stones Otamendi Laporte
Danilo
De Bruyne Gundogan
Bernardo Aguero Sane

Sure, but what better way to prepare for running around in a flurry of goals...

Get 3 points then worry about Sunday when it happens.

Thats how I would approch it. Play one game at a time. you cant gamble on getting the 3 points against chelsea. Just play the game infront of you and go from there. I think Pep has said often thats how he approaches it most of the time.

Current Thursday weather forecast for the Emirates is heavy snow early morning and all afternoon.
Here's to another 3-0 City win
Ho Ho Ho.

I've heard Arsenal have put an SOS to all local fans. If they get enough fans turning up, and get enough snow onto the pitch, they hope the game will get postponed :)
