Arsenal (H) - Wed 26th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Mentality wise Arsenal look gone, I reckon if we score first they will fall apart no leader on that pitch for them.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I just think Arsenal's defence is poor and we should be able to exploit it at will. Holding and White are bang average, Zin great going forward poor defensively and Gabriel is OK, the best of the lot.
Very confident we'll win this

 

[Ali B's Heel]

That’s not happening. Also, get off my name!

[Checks join date] You know what? You can keep my name as the more know about this beaut, the better:



On team selection, 10 of the 11 will most likely start as it's a bit soon for Foden. Its really just Gundogan at the expense of one of Walker/Akanji/Rico. Rodri could drop back when needed.

Arsenal wouldn't get a kick in the middle. Xhaka and Saliba are potentially out. Show no fear!

I think they’ll use Zinchenko. The alternative - Tierny - is a downgrade imo.

Tierney far better than Zinch defensively

I would assume Xhaka will be back (unfortunately) as he was I’ll rather than injured?

Ok let’s have a sweepstake. What minutes will Arteta get Ramsdale to call their tactical time outs?

A bit later now after that draw against Southampton. I'll go 32nd and 74th minutes.

The pressure on both sides is high. All fans should be pumped up. It's shaped to be a big occasion or a classic goalless draw. However, I can see City rising to the moment. Something's happening...

 

[FantasyIreland]

Should we expect Saliba and Xhaka back?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Should we expect Saliba and Xhaka back?

Let's hope so.

 

[Heath Park]

I agree.

On the one hand, Pep believes in momentum and may start Mahrez. Plus Mahrez can torment Zinchenko/their LB. On the other hand, Bernardo can do it too. And Bernardo is less selfish, works hard...He is more likely to help Stones/Akanji.

Bernie is a must starter against Arsenal.
