Arsenal (A) - Sat 1st Jan, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Tough game against an in form rested Arsenal side. Can see Sterling and Mahrez being brought back into the team.

Agreed. Sterling and Mahrez have to start along with Foden.

This is going to be a cracker of a game, I can feel it. Win our next two games and we’ll be hard to catch. No bigger motivation than that.

Today was cruise control, Saturday they'll go through the gears. Hopefully Rodri will be back.

I'm guessing this won't be played on a pitch resembling my back garden.

Great bonus that Arteta not on the touchline

Agreed, his haircut is offensive

Everytime I think Arsenal are starting to look good and making progress they turn up in the next game with a "typical arsenal" performance. For example the defeat away at Everton and the hiding they took at Anfield. People fancy Arsenal to take something on Saturday (I hope Arsenal think the same and want to go toe to toe with us) I'm hoping Arsenal do what they do best and have a complete shit show.
If we take our chances we'll win this game.

City staying down in London for this one. Anyone know where they are staying / training?

Is your garden like the pitch of The Baseball ground Nick? And if you don't know what I'm talking about you're too young to remember, mate.

Would be a huge bonus for us if Walker, Stones and Rodri return

Arsenals defence has looked suspect at times during this run they are on.
