Arsenal mates reckon Declan Rice is going to be ok for the weekend. Some trepidation in their camp also, saying it’s a tough one to call.

I honestly think we'll beat them. We were unlucky at home last season in the 2-0 and they have injuries plus we are the better side.  V tight 2-1 squeaky bum win.

Echoes of that match a couple of years back abound, a crazy few days when we really started to believe there was something special happening. It did and it suddenly feels like it again.

Arsenal will be a real test but one we can approach with relish and confidence, the players looked they were absolutely bouncing.

As for me, I'm bouncing too and I hate Woolwich, their entitlement, their mid game false injury coaching sessions, their prick of a manager, their premature title celebrations, that fucking song, their abandonment of Highbury and their absolute horror that anyone should dare challenge them for the ball. And Rice, the turncoat.

30 fucking nil to us.

1-0

If we had Barkley fit and able to come on in the second half, I'd be inclined to go with all of McGinn / Kamara / Onana / Tielemans.

As it is, I think at least one of those will need to come on for the last half hour. So Onana / Kamara / McGinn, with Youri to come on for Buendia after an hour.
