Arsenal v Aston Villa - Sunday 4.30pm. Pre Match Yarn.

[Demitri_C]

A win would be huge, but a boring 0-0 draw wouldn't hurt either.

Ill happily take that!

[Somniloquism]

They never seem to have many injuries and not the main players Rice (kamara) , Martin Ødegaard(Buendia)  William Saliba (Mings)  Saka ( Ramsay)  .

Well If they was missing those four they wouldnt even be top 6 so very lucky season for them.

Not looking forward to this one , I actually thought we could get a result against M115ty until I saw the team so no idea who Unai will play , not that he has a lot of choices.

Going to be hard , keep the score down please . I could see us taking the lead actually but we dont clean sheets .  3 1  .

They pretty much had that player missing the 2nd half of last season (and no Rice at the time) which is the common reason given for them blowing the title at the time.

I don't think we will have the same follow on season next year as Arse did this one (afterall they spent 200mill as well), but I'm hoping this season does give some of the players the experience to be more ambitious next season.

Actually, it looks better for us when we don’t play at all. Up 1 place to 4th now. I’d ask Arsenal if we could cancel the match!!

[bilsim]

Is there anything in the laws of the game that would forbid us from having 11 players on the line in the form of a human pyramid?

I'd rip your arm off for a 0-0 bore draw.

[jon collett]

With the side we are likely to put out I think there is a better chance if a 2-2 or a 3-3

[Footy-Vill]

Both Cash and Lenglet are available so is that a back 5 tomorrow?

[passport1]

Time to break some North London hearts tomorrow boys. Onwards and upwards.

[Demitri_C]

Ill take a boring 0-0. A point would be huge

[VillaTim]

Tomorrow is set up for counter attacking football.
Park the bus, play Diaby and Bailey . UTV .

[ASHTONVILLA]

Have a good feeling about this one. If Cash is back then we will have our best defence available for the first time in ages. Emery and Emi will be up for it. Diaby is hitting form and Watkins is on a good streak. McGinn is back in the team.

0-2 Rogers and Diaby.

Be half time before I can check the score though as on a flight back home from Eindhoven around kickoff time.

[Malandro]

Not expecting much, but they will also be feeling huge pressure. Who knows.

Yes that worked well against Spurs.

[Steve67]

Fingers cross for the unexpected, but very welcome win for Villa.

[Lastfootstamper]

With the players we have missing, I can't see us being able to deploy the back six as effectively as we've done in the past.

Martinez

Cash
Konsa
Pau Torres
Digne

Bailey
Iroegbunam
McGinn
Rogers

Tielemans
Watkins

Yep . Counter attack is on .
