Arsenal (H) - FA Cup - Fri 27th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Can't see us beating them 3 times and I know for sure this is the one I'd sacrifice. It's inevitable we'll draw this, lose the replay on penalties then beat them twice in the league.

It is inevitable they will go with their best team to keep up their momentum. We will help them by sticking out some oddball line-up.

Why not beat them 3 times? This FA cup game is huge for the outcome of the prem. whoever wins puts seeds of doubt in the others minds. We have a 9 day break after so a nice strong team please pep.

Smash em, show em we are the daddys!!!!

Why does haaland need a 2 week break? Have to be careful , players need momentum

 

[Gingers Dad]

Got to be a full strength team. No midweek game this week and no game after until Sunday 5th Feb at Spuds.

Let’s confuse them and go full defensive:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Lewis
Cancelo
Rodri
Phillips
Gundogan
Haaland

Who do we sub on once Haaland scores his hat-trick?

Amended slightly - if we're going defensive, I prefer this

Big game, this. Definitely not a throwaway. It’ll boost the confidence of one team and put a seed of doubt in the other team depending on who wins.

Plus a 9 day break after it. Go full strength and come out fast!

 

[Jack Hackett]

I think we will play a strong team…maybe rest Ramsdale and White. I think he’ll play the same front 4 and midfield. Trossard likely to come on to relieve Martinelli or Nketiah. Should be interesting.

I just hope both sides go for it like the dippers league Cup game we had. You looked very good 2nd half against the scum. 3-2 City ;-)
