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.

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?

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.
