Tues 30th Dec, 20.15 KO.
1-1
-
I think we’ll win 2-1. Watkins double from the bench.
-
With the absences even harder. Before tonight’s game I’d have taken a point from these two games, we’ve already bettered that. Anything is a bonus.
-
Annnnnnoooother one!!!!!
-
I'd take a draw. If we had to lose a game of this group of 3, it would probably be this one. I think they'll have too much for us over the course of the rest of the season, so will City, so it's massively important to finish in the champions league places.
-
Yes, a point would be a perfectly respectable result. 7 points from this run of three games would be incredible. However, I have a feeling Arsenal will have a point to prove after the VP result, so it's going to be a very tough night's work.
That said, Brighton had them under a lot of pressure after they came back to 2-1 today, and were much the better side for 20 minutes after they scored. You can definitely get at them, and however motivated they are, I guarantee the crowd will start to get twitchy if we get a foothold at any point...

Presume we can’t appeal against the Kamara booking or ask ref to look at it again in his sky blue pyjamas?
-
2-1 Villa with Rogers and Ollie on the scoresheet
-
Going to be tricky without Cash and Kamara, both of whom were tip-top in the reverse fixture.

Martinez
Bogarde
Konsa
Lindelof
Maatsen
Onana
Tielemans
McGinn
Watkins
Rogers
Malen
Don’t see us winning, would be happy with a draw, wouldn’t be surprised or mortified with a defeat.
But I’m dreaming now.
3-2 us Watkins, Tielemans, Rogers

Just another challenge for Unai.
And don't doubt for a minute that he didn't spend Boxing Day planning how to face Arse without Kamara and/or Cash in expectation of Twatwell screwing us over.
-
82nd minute winner from Chris Price.
-
I reckon Tony Luna with the winner.

What a day that was

"spend some fackin' money"

I'd take a draw right now away at the Gooners but we will be full of confidence and could nick it.
-
They'll be shitting this game far more than we will be.

They won't, they're the most arrogant fanbase in football.
-
He might be talking about the players. Arteta might need to get the big lightbulb out instead.
-
They have everything to lose, us and MC right on them, another failed title challenge on the horizon. We're under no pressure. They'll be dreading this, the team and the fans no matter what bluster they come out with.

One of my favourite aways ever. I think we saw Doug in his Rolls near Finsbury Park tube after, too.

Nah. They're arrogant bellends, don't consider us a threat and expect to win. Which will make it all the funnier if we do our third double over them in five years.
-
If Torres or Mings are available, I wonder if he shifts Lindelof to RCB and moves Konsa to RB? UTV
-
Wednesday headlines will be
Villa title fight over before it begins or
Villa hand City-eh title and spoil it for everyone
-
0-4

Quite relaxed about this one, not because we will win just it won’t break us if we lose. Pau being available would be great though
