It's actually my dad's birthday for this 1 haha I'll be watching with him so hopefully the team can give him a good present. Leftover birthday cake and beers on the menu then.
Assume this will go the same way as most of our away UCL games this season with us keeping it tight at the back and taking about 20mins to settle into it with a bit of safe possession and the odd shot or chance if we are lucky. I'd take a 0-0 if offered it right now. I assume they'll be motivated to avenge the 4 nil from earlier on in the campaign and wouldn't be surprised if we come away with another L here.
No idea if Saka, Eze and Havertz can start but I assume 2 of them probably will anyway.
Really weird that I'm not even bothered about this even though it's a massive game. Somehow every PL game feels 100x worse than the UCL games which are just more relaxed watches, even if losing, seems so much easier to accept in the UCL.
Even if we made it to the final still can't see us winning the whole thing so maybe these low expectations are playing a part in the lack of nerves with this competition.
Anyway come on Arsenal! Would be wonderful to be in a UCL final 20 years after our last 1.
