Them playing tonight does us a huge favour.
It’s not just that they have a game it’s the opponents they are playing. Lose and they’ll be shattered and will be there for the taking. Win and they’ll be a different proposition entirely.I get what you mean though, who else would you choose to play if you need 3 points?

Win, and the pressure will be off Arsenal a bit, and they'll play with a freedom against us that we won't be able to live with. Lose, and they'll be doubly determined to get back on track, and will bully us all over the pitch. We'll have more of a chance if we drop underperforming players like Ramsey and Bailey, but Emery seems as determined to stick with them as he is wedded to his 4-4-2, so I'm not hopeful.
