Not greatly confident I feel we might need a couple of goals and right now don't feel that looks within the capability of this team.
We do have to win though in my view anything else and 9 point gap is pretty huge at this time already.
awooga83 If we win, this forum will turn into a misery. The boys had better win just to retain peace for all humankind.
Claudius You will be happy and be celebrating if we lose?

You mean if we don't win?
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Trossard, Jesus.
Good team. Please win. Marti and Havertz to score.
Both team at full strength.

Would you consider White and Timber (on the left) as 'full strength' or would you say Timber on the right and Calafiori on the left is full strength? Not saying its right or wrong either way, i would personally say a fully fit Cala on the left and Timber on the right are the preferred starters, but this lineup is as full strength as we can get at this time. Ode being back (even if at 80%) is a big deal.
Ode and Rice start. So does Palmer
Feeling confident with this lineup. Hopefully Ode is fully fit.
USArsenal I think Cala is definitely first choice now.
USArsenal Much of a muchess all 3 of them. I consider all 3 first choice and we should rotate depending on the opponent (whether the opponent RW is an inverted winger)
Clrnc Fair point
We have never lost at the Bridge under Arteta. lets do it today!
Clrnc you jinx. I'm coming back for you if we don't win
Burnwinter — how dare you slander Dire Straits as bland
Lol Chelsea bench is just insane
Clrnc Ours isn't exactly too bad either.
We need this win. It will push us back into 3rd, only 2 points behind City
Early shot from Palmer, Great shot TBH.. But Raya with a nice save
Martinelli is too slow. Rice looks tired in minute one. Not covering the ground he needs to and just letting the cross come in.
Coombs he looks exhausted already
