Arsenal (A) Pre match thread

New manager bounce and against a Top 6 rival away. Probably a draw.

I'm hoping the occasion may be their undoing. First game of the season, new manager bounce and at home. They may try to go toe to toe with us which wouldn't be a smart move.

I think it will be tough. Hoping for 0-2. Sergio to score first.

Mahrez Aguero Jesus

Bravo Otamendi Delph Gundogan KDB Foden Sterling

Assuming Laporte and Sane are injured. Harsh on foden but it's imperative to get a good start and get our squad match fit.

They are dreading this game more than us.

Many questions for them. Does Emery introduce new additions to the PL like keeper Leno, Lichtsteiner, Torreria and the new Greek CB against the PL champions?

Or does he start Cech, Bellerin, Chambers plus someone like Elneny??

Do they play to win or play to draw after having little time together against a team with 2 years of Pep’s coaching?

Will Aubameyang and Lacazette start together? I think the former will start alone upfront.

Would be disappointed with anything less than a win considering the conditions and our wonderful performance against Chelsea.

Hope so mate. I expected us to be undercooked yesterday so was pleasantly surprised. Should be a good game.

Having watched Arsenals preseason games so far, if we play like yesterday this will be a simple win.

They aren't looking very polished at all, a lot of getting used to the new manager and players looking unconvinced. They're likely to be pretty poor with short patches of it clicking and looking right. They'll have to improve drastically to beat us on yesterday's form.

However one thing they do have which Chelsea didnt, is a pair of strikers who will punish any mistakes.

 

[The blue phantom]

A lot of posters not having Stones to start, I think he's nailed on.

 

[Pigeonho]

Mahrez will own this game. I’m going for Arsenal 0 City 3 and I fully expect that to be the score.

Leicester will beat united and all will be glorious in the world.
