I think it'll be pretty tight,we'll probably go a goal behind,but take them back to VP with a 2-1 to us win.

It would nice to go back to VP with a good lead but it's not what we do is it?

Hope the tie is dead by the time the 2nd leg comes around

I thought the same when we went to tranmere but was grateful for dalians late consolation- here though I think we will have far too much quality for a league 2 side .

As long as we don't concede early we should beat them fairly comfortably.

I prefer to think of them as Division 4.

They'll be fired up for this. Wouldn't be surprised if we did lose. I think it will end up 1-1 though.

With a Wembley final at stake we will be fired up and match them for effort and heart, quality will tell, I am not worried by this game , I respect bradford but over 2 legs I think we will be far too good for them .

               Guzan

Lowton-Clark-Baker-Bennett

    Delph-Bannan-Holman

  Weimann-Benteke-Gabby

N'Zogbia on for Gabby after an hour, 3-0 Villa win.

I bet on some Arsenal forum before there game someone said "we can`t mess this up surely" not being negative but PL and the players themselves will know they are going to a place where there will be high adrenalin and a hysterical crowd. Still our crowd will not exactly be quiet !!! 1-2 Benteke Bennet ...

After his goalscoring return of Darren Bent, does anyone think he should retain his place at the expense of Benteke?

No- both should start with Weimann just behind them - we will have plenty of chances and bent is a finisher.

Think Bent will be a bit sore after Ipswich game. Probably start with Gabby and Weiman alongside Benteke and bring Bent on for the last half hour .......

Good shout, we really should go for this tie from the start, and hopefully put this tie "to bed" as soon as possible, we could also give Nzgobia a run out, after his promising return yesterday.
