Arsenal - Wolves | Thu, 19:45

goon

Let the (loud) celebrations continue.

6 points over Spurs if we win this, massive, massive opportunity. It will be interesting to see how we play given that fact, it's a different sort of pressure. What you want to see is a ruthlessness we haven't really shown yet, seizing these sorts of opportunities rather than collapsing into our shell.

I don't think it will be easy though, Wolves form guide is very, very impressive.

The good thing is we have absolutely no injuries, no suspensions and no absentees to speak of and should be very fresh.

Let's fucking do this.

QuincyAbeyie

Tomiyasu back should be a big help. Not sure who to bench in attack unless we try ESR or Martinelli upfront though.

Unfortunately I have a feeling Wolves will win this. Would be typical after Neves’ comments a few weeks back.

Hope I’m wrong

QuincyAbeyie

What did he say?

lorddulaarsenal

That we celebrated too hard after beating them

TambourineMan

Really need a win here but would be typical of us to slip up.

Sicario

Need a win here for the Liverpool at home game to be almost a free hit.

A win tomorrow will be absolutely massive.

Wolves are playing well but let’s not overrate them. I watched their game v Leicester and they looked leggy and got a bit lucky, I think 2 shots on goal and 2 goals.

When we were about to play Wolves on 28/12 a lot of us were confident we would beat them, let’s not forget that. Also, at least this time round they don’t come into the game with a 10 day rest and we’ve actually got one day rest on them. Plus they are in London again on Sunday to play West Ham.

We haven’t beaten Wolves at home since they got promoted so we need to change that tomorrow.

Shady

I'm looking forward to the goal celebrations from the players and then from the crowd at FT if we win. Great opportunity to really mug them off here, let's go.

MistaT

Oddly not concerned by this one.

I think Gabriel will easily see off Jimenez, and our midfield should be fine against their's. Will be interesting to see if Xhaka ends up deeper alongside Partey, or if he's further forward in line with Odegaard.

Can't wait to see ESR/Martinelli roasting their CBs.

Burnwinter

Important to win, but not all important. I think we need to rein in the pressure a little on this one and just play our game. The rest of the season is about percentages and consistency for now.

Hoping we'll see Martinelli central. It'll take a bit of courage from Arteta to bench Lacazette, would be forgivable if it were a later change instead.

banduan

we have a terrible recent record at home v Wolves.

KingslandBarge

Ramsdale

Tomiyasu White Gabriel Tierney

Partey

Ødegaard Smith-Rowe

Pépé Lacazette Saka

I would like to see that.

QuincyAbeyie

Me too, and with Martinelli in for Lacazette even more so. May not be the time to be too experimentative though.

Qwiss

I don't think we'll drop points here, we've a full team and just a couple of weeks ago we beat them with 10 men at their own ground.

flobaba

And we were injusticed too.

goon

Wolves have a strong midfield, not the time to really experiment with our own especially when it's actually been doing well. Stick with Xhaka for now.

Of course as I type that I realise I'm setting him up to do something stupid tonight.

Qwiss

I'd stick with the midfield too. Just for tonight. I'd open up and drop Xhaka for the Watford game though.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Can't drop ESR after that cracking goal. Martinelli to come on at 70 mins when we're 2-0 up.

Hope Tomi can come back in.

I think ESR has to start too. He's been great this season there is no justification for dropping him.

Burnwinter

Seems to me if we put out a forward line of

Smith Rowe Martinelli Saka

the level of interchange and trickery that could go on between Smith Rowe and Martinelli is pretty enticing. Either could flourish on the left or take on duties in the centre at different stages.

Since we don't quite have an ideal option centrally, it seems we're freer to experiment. It's not clear how benching Lacazette would affect the dressing room though, the youngsters do seem to appreciate him.
