If Rice is still out we will have a better chance, he really is their Tonali and what makes them tick.

Looking forward to see Tino against Saka!! Think he will take care of him nicely.

I'll miss Hall's performance against Saka at SJP last November.

Saka didn't play in the last two against us. He's a big difference maker and someone we need to try and protect against. 

 

If Martinelli plays through the middle then just need to be cautious of leaving him isolated against our slow cb's. 

 

Would love it to be true but we rarely get that much luck so you know Rice and others will probably make a miraculous recovery just in time to play. 

 

Hope we are switched on and aren't carrying too many passengers. Was very strange performance that 2nd half to Chelsea, hopefully it was a mentality thing.

2-0 win - Arsenal haven’t scored v us in three games and honestly barely had a shot. They’re without Merino and potentially Rice and Trossard too. They find it almost impossible to break us down and can’t handle us on the transition. Added to this that their season has imploded in the last 10 days and them questioning the Arteta project. A routine 2-0 win. 

It’s a stretch to say they barely had a shot. They hit the post in each of the semis at 0-0. Havertz missed a sitter in the first semi. 
 

All games have been close - we’ve deservedly won each, but this is a very difficult fixture. Winnable, but very difficult.

Rice, Havertz, Trossard and Jorginho all back in training for them today.

Even if they're training, given the length of time they've been out with their injuries, i'd be very surprised if Havertz or Jorginiho get any meaningful minutes.

Yes, very winnable by us, but very difficult.

 

On top of that, I think we SHOULD win, and I think we will.

Aye, didn’t realise it was an open training session either so even those doing a light session are being classed as back.

Unless I’m missing something, a draw at Arsenal will only be of any use if Villa or Chelsea draw their games on Friday. Otherwise, we’ll still need to win vs Everton to be sure of finishing in top 5.

irespective of where we finish in the top 5 we still qualify for C.L. so would take a draw, be absolutely brilliant if we finish 2nd, also its extra money by position on final lge table...personally i would prefer Forest ahead of Chelsea or Villa (disliked them since the "sob on the tyne" crap) to nab the 5th position

seems to me like Arsenal are always exaggerating their injury situation

 

at one point this season when they had around 5 players missing they were blaming injury crisis for their form while other teams had much worse
