I think Rodri if he tests negative can return for this one? Fingers crossed if him and Kyle would be available then that would would be welcome news!

Will Arsenal not having Arteta on the bench help us or them.

IMO it will help us.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Please tell me that John Boy will be back for this? I’ll cry if he’s not! ;-)

 

[St.Pauli support]

I think Pep said they're going back to Manchester in the presser?

Never in doubt. Sleeping home is always best.
Staying in their Covid bubble too.

Not sure why they would stay in London. It’s only 2 hours on the train.

Easiest 3 points of the season they are utter shite they are beaten before they play us.

Hard 1 to call.

Arsenal are bang on form, and have had a weeks rest, with a young attack, scoring with fun.

Hopefully with Arteta being out, get well soon, that might impact the team performance?

Need to win this one as Chelsea are Playing Liverpool?

Going for a 2-1, either way.

Arsenal have looked very impressive recently but they've had a run of fixtures that's predominantly seen them up against struggling opposition. A few weeks ago they were getting hammered at Anfield, losing at the swamp and somehow managing to to get beat by Everton.
They're a promising team without a doubt but I feel they're still a couple of steps away from being able to compete with the elite clubs. Caution required but we should hopefully have too much in the locker for them, especially if Rodri is fit.
