Xhaka and Lerma both booked today. Almost guaranteed at least one of them gets booked in a matchday.

Xhaka absolutely loves a booking. If the fouling doesn’t do the job, he’s not above a bit of dissent to seal the deal.

If it's not the cards that do Hudderzfield in, it'll be the injuries at this rate...

 

EDIT: Maybe not just Hudderzfield...

 

(And if Arsenal don't win this, my wife will be extremely disappointed ;)  )

And.. Cardiff go 1-0 up against Southampton.. Pleased for them 

[Chester Dontlie]

Schlupperman just scored for Palace!!  Wham still winning 3-2

Same here Suzie … I completely wrote them off but they ain't that bad a side and have great fighting spirit.

Southampton on the other hand with better players show that you can never get complacent in this division..... they look doomed.

One point tonight will take us above Bournemouth.

Don't hold your breath.

 

Can't say I'm looking forward to this one.

[UniFox21]

Southampton not being awarded 2 penalties, what a way to welcome their new boss to the Prem. 

[PhillippaT]

Yay - Arsenal finally scored.  My wife can finally smile again

Need to keep the pressure on Everton and Man Utd...

Said more in hope than expectation Murph.

Ah, you never know, lets just hope we take it if we get an early chance and put them under some pressure.

Lots would take a draw right now Suzie, I'm probably one of them. Hope the evening kick off gets the crowd and players stirred.

Can't see that happening.

Quite.

The teams at the top are beating almost everyone except each other really. I'm not overly confident but the game starts at 0-0 so you never know. 

[Suzie the Fox]

As long as we make a go of it tonight i will be happy. Its never easy playing against one the top sides especially when we have key players out with injury. BUT as always i will be putting money on us to win. 

[egg_fried_rice]

Front three of Sterling, Sane, and Mahrez for Man City and hazard up top for Chelsea. Should be an interesting watch.

It's unlikely but at the near midway point we're any kind of result from 8th, and a win would have us 1 point of 6th with a superior goal difference. Given the doom and gloom around this forum, we're actually having a pretty good season

Alonso isn't the best defender, Man City could make hay down that side with those three up front. No recognised striker though.

[Foxxed]

Kante verses Mahrez then.

Don't get me wrong. I belong to the ones who think the same way as you, however my opinion is that Spurs are a bridge too far at the moment. Of course anything is possible, but they're on a good run and we're on alternating electric current.

Tbf, Mahrez is gone and Vardys out. Maddison is doing a cracking job replacing Riyads output but we're down our two star players compared to then (although I think we've strengthened the team around them)
