Arsenal Vs. Chelsea on Sunday at 4:30 PM

FEBravo

Biggest game of the season

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Eze for Tzolis. Bruno for Myles. Merino for Havertz.

JazzG

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Agree with first two and I’d start Konsa if fit. Havertz has to start, if needed he can come off after 60mins and he’ll have worked the Chelsea defence by then making it easier for sub.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

JazzG forgot about Konsa, yeah, he should come in for White who was awful.

Qwiss

I'd only start Konsa if Madueke is hurt. He's been brilliant in the first 2 games. Didn't put a foot wrong and his pass in the build up to our first goal is exactly what we'd been lacking all game.

I'd also start Tzolis again. And I'd only play Bruno if he's absolutely 100% fit. Otherwise he can come off the bench again.

Gurgen

Qwiss Konsa could start over White. But I'm reluctant to put a pure defender at RB in a home game where we must attack and win.

Big Willie Champ

Qwiss I'd only start Konsa if Madueke is hurt.

You never know, Konsa may actually end up with more end product than Madueke if we played him on the wing instead.

USArsenal

Who do we expect Chelsea to play in the midfield now that Enzo is gone?

Panda

USArsenal It'll be James and Caicedo/Lavia

Qwiss

Gurgen I don't want to see Konsa starting at RB while Whites fit. Its a big downgrade, even though White had a poor showing against Villa. If Mosquera is 100% I'd just have Konsa come off the bench again. Chelsea will be looking to play on the break too and Mosquera is probably the paciest of him, Konsa and White.

USArsenal

Panda and who else? Don't they play with 3 in the middle? Or do you think it will be someone like Palmer?

RowJimmy

Caicedo went off injured, no?

Qwiss

USArsenal they've been playing with a back 3, wing backs, a sort of box midfield and then a striker. So it'll be Palmer and Rogers ahead of Caicdedo and one of Lavia, James, Barco or even Gusto.

Panda

USArsenal He is setting them up in the 3-4-2-1 so the 2 ahead of the 2 in the middle will be Rogers and Palmer.

Against Brighton they had Gusto and Lavia as the 2 lol but James and Caicedo were on the bench.

I think this is another interesting test of a team I think have a chance to be in the title run. They've looked a little vulnerable defensively but strangely for a team competing at the top we aren't necessarily set up to exploit that and score many goals. On the other hand they have looked a decent attacking side with plenty of goals in them. They will also have a bit of confidence so it'll be a decent insight into how we look early season.

Mirth

Really would like to end Chelsea's title challenge before it starts. Ultimately I don't think they have what it takes to win the whole thing but the sooner they're bought down to earth the better.

Qwiss

Mirth I'm pleased with how shit Liverpool and United have been as I was worried they'd all start with a bounce and we'd have to listen to people gassing them up for weeks. Chelsea are the ones now who look like that could happen so it'd be great to shut it down before it really gets going.

Mirth

The Enzo deal tilts the favour further in City's court now. Chelsea let go of Cucurella and Enzo without replacing either - so they have lost any gains made through Martinez and Rogers.

tazmania

Win this and remove some of that ugly Alvarez transfer window stink

Klaus

RowJimmy Yep. Couple more setbacks and Alonso himself will have to line up for them.

There hasn't been a better betting opportunity than this for a long time: a top three midfield in the world against a bunch of injured misfits. We're going to roll all over them.

USArsenal

RowJimmy

He did, but who knows if he's still injured or not. Either way, he probably wont be 100%.

Panda

RowJimmy Ahh did he? Missed that. Think i switched it off when he came on and didn't realise he had to come off again. Expect it'll be James and Lavia then.

famous last words when it comes to arsenal. every time we're suppose to put the sword to a wounded manure, chelski, or liverpool we come up short and you're wondering WTF happened.
