Arsenal vs Manchester City (H) | Sunday Oct 8 | 16:30 PM BST

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Hope someone like Rice has that kind of nasty streak in them. I'm not saying we should go out and hurt players but if someone fucks around they should know they're gonna find out.

USArsenal

On a positive note, Saka, Martinelli and Partey in the squad for today... And De Bruyne & Rodri out.. On a negative note, we have not beaten them in the league since '15...

Not sure what to expect today. We're home, so its as good a chance as any to beat them.

Don Pacifico

Clrnc compensates for our frustrating injury record a little I guess. 😉

Qwiss

I hope we aren't pushing people back too early. Happy enough to see Martinelli come on off the bench rather than starting, maybe the same for Partey. I also really hope Partey coming back doesn't lead to Arteta changing the back 4.

USArsenal

Qwiss
I hope the same. Partey with Rice and Ode in the middle is pretty formidable.

goon

Qwiss

With the size of this game and an international break coming up, I'd take the risk I have to say. One of Martinelli/Saka at least, and I'd be tempted to play Partey too with Rice at left 8. If we have to, withdraw them after 50 mins in a pre-planned substitution.

Qwiss

USArsenal Yeah I think thats as good a midfield as you'll see anywhere at the moment TBH

Qwiss

goon I'd consider risking Partey from the start but not Martinelli, start Trossard instead. I'm sure Saka will play.

Arteta needs to pull anyone not 100% from international duty though. We can't be so soft on that.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Really hoping for Partey and Rice today.

Weirdly I'd go with Havertz up top.

KingslandBarge

I'd feel better with Nketiah starting alongside Saka and Jesus if Martinelli isn't good to go (I hope he is)

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

KingslandBarge that was shockingly awful against Spurs though mate.

Also, I don't want to see Odegaard with one of his swallowed-up performances.

KingslandBarge

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Thought he adjusted linkup and involvement well against Brentford and Bournemouth; I think he's an attacker we're depending on during this period of the season.

Gwan Eddie.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Interesting team.

Ode needs a huge performance, no more missing v Man City.

USArsenal

Ughhhhhhh. Saving the others for subs i guess

Pepe LeFrits

Saka, Martinelli and Partey obviously not fit enough to start so.

Dragan

Saka not in the squad. He absolutely needs to stay and recover during the international break. Martinelli on the bench.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Terrible stuff although slightly excited to see Jorginho starting. God knows why.

Oh well, easier to watch this now with zero expectations.

Pepe LeFrits

lorddulaarsenal

Jorginho in to make good his mistake against Spurs. Hopefully he can pick out the front three.

Urgh Nketiah.

Qwiss

It's amazing how Jorginho earns a start by making a calamitous error.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Qwiss

Mate Eddie is in that team and has been shit for a month.

Worry about the creativity in this side.

MA clearly under pressure.
