I agree they didnt used to sit back, against anybody, but recently I think they have been done so against 'bigger teams', so i'm not sure about that. I actually expect them to play on the counter against us nowadays, esp when we are at home.

Let’s be honest, the way we play it is the only way they will get anything from the game on Sunday.

Some team news from our side. Seem to be struggling on the defensive side, Mustafi out, both Koscielny & Kolasinac struggling with injuries, both would be massive losses.

Midfield and forward line will likely be Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil,Sanchez, Lacazette barring any last minute injuries.

We'll likely change the full team vs Red Star tonight so playing tonight shouldn't affect us too much.

We'll do well to even take a point from you guys the way both teams are playing. We only know 1 way to play really, & when on form like this you guys are better than that than us.

Kudos to you for comming here and making a thoughtfull post like that. I do think Wenger should really addapt his tactics comming to city, if Arsenal plays their usual tactics then ill join the majority of people who (with reason) would think that would mean a city win.
 
Arsenal tend to perform better against us than the Rags,Liverpool and Chelsea. They have also tried to stifle in the bigger matches away from home, Chelsea this year, Rags away last year and tried it in their last 3 visits to us with varying results (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss). Walcott usually scores against as well.

They've switched to a 3-5-2/ 5-3-2 with Bellerin and Kolasinac wide and Monreal, Koscielny and Mertesacker as their 3 defenders. It seems to suit them better, Kolasinac looks like a good acquisition and Bellerin is a better attacking than defensive full back.

As much as Arsenal can try a lot will depend on whether we have fully recovered by Sunday. If we perform and our energy levels are good we should win.

I'd expect Silva, Walker and maybe Jesus to come in. The key as ever will be start well and pull them out of shape.
 
How many attempts at goal are we averaging at home? 12/15/20?
Our conversion rate this season is way better than previous years, so even 30% of those on target should mean at least 3 goals.
We are fcuking awesome at the moment.
 
If both teams play their natural game to their full potential this will be the game of the season.
 
I'm presuming this Mr DT fella,who has had plenty to say about us in his vlogs and on Arsenal tv channel is coming to the game,I hope he arrives early so he can have a good walk around the ground to look at our "history" of which according to him we have none,the fucking tit that he is,also I hope he gets spotted and these pictures poinrted out to him the wanker that he is.unless someone knocks him out. 4-0 City

Don’t think there’s any need for violence, not worth anyone’s time. Acts the big man on arsenal tv, then sucks up to the players when face to face.
 
Hate playing Arsenal.

We are the team in the top 4 they always turn up against, and every season I expect 4 points being taken off us by them.

Hopefully not this season.

You just know Alexis will have a stormer.

No that is true about the violence,but it only takes 1 to see him, he has been so critical of us this last year or so,yes we all know it is jealousy,but his last outburst was a disgrace,he knows fuck all,and needs putting right on a few things I'd say

Walcott to bag his customary goal. we should beat Arsenal quite heavily but you never know with them. Sane, Sterling and Jesus up top.
 
Ederson
Walker Stones Otimendi Delph
Fernandinho
Sterling DeBruyne Silva Sane
Jesus
 
Wenger is from the sameilk as Pep - they wont change they way they play. This will play into our hands as we are by far the superior team. I would go as far to say that arsenal would struggle to beat Napoli, however they do have a tendancy to turn up on occassion

This wont be one of them though. 3-0 home win to us : )
 
Arsenal are a match for anyone on their day so this is a potential big test for us. We will have to keep the intensity up. It’s good that we played on Tuesday and the game isn’t until Sunday so should have decent rest time.
 
A win but we will concede. Just hope we score more than them. Hoping for a similar result to last night 4-2 to us.
 
If we play as well as we know we can then we win. Simple as that. Arsenal aren’t great this season and we should have too much for them. Walker and Silva to come back in which will give us fresh legs.

Having said that we cannot afford to be complacent. A win will be huge for us going in to the international break. Just need to make sure we get it.
