Reckon he will go with

Eddie
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
Gudingan
Jesus
Grealish
and either mahrez or Sterling up front over torres

Sterling does not warrant a start instead of Gabby or Bernardo. They were both superb in the last game, keep the game pace high and deny them the space to hoof the ball in behind.
If Gunners score first, I think we could end up losing it as they’ll just close ranks and hoof it as we try to equalise. Walker should be able to deal with Aubamayang. Please don’t play Ake. He’s been a disaster a couple of times now. Maybe Dias & Laporte. We MUST control the midfield and the keep the space behind the defence short or they will just keep using their pace.
Pep surely knows what he’s doing. DO NOT give them an inch!!!

1-0

Right I want a comprehensive win and Arteta sacked ! Lol !!! Let's take out all our frustration on the arse ooh er missus !!!!

 

[Father Paul]

I think the players will be abit deflated after this week's events, might be a hard slog to get points

A big day to support the boys on the pitch and get behind them right from the off. We need to bounce back from a bad week and be well placed to face into a big monthvin September.

Love Torres to get a hat-trick today 22/1

 

[Kippax77]

A win today to finish a shit week on a high.
Back to business

 

[burning blue soul]

Really looking forward to this game today. My spider senses are telling me it's gonna be a cracker! 4-2 City!

 

[blue whippet]

Just looked out of the window to see blue sky, looks like it could be a nice day. It's my birthday today, son and other half bought me the away shirt and an mug with Aguero and the 93.20 moment on. Heading off to the game later, meeting friends and hoping for a repeat of last week. Will be a bit tougher I know but I think we can do it. Looking forward to the game and seeing the statues. What better way to spend a day?

Whilst taking nothing away from the severity of the charges and the impact the case will have on many people's lives (I actually feel sick each time I think of the case) but what, if any, impact do you the think the Mendy case will have on the squad for this match?

I feel pretty mugged off after this week. Current state of mind says we will lose 1-0. I hope not and we hammer them 5-0
