Amartey and KDH masterclasses incoming!

[KFS]

Hate Arsenal so this is rough to see but completely understand.

[Koke]

Arsenal got a better team out. They willl roll us over.

Arsenal fielding a stronger XI, and a stronger bench.

 

only holding was unexpected - all the others haven't played more than one game max thus far and some only twenty mins if at all

As expected. Albrighton and Thomas wing backs? 

That's how I read it. 3-4-3 with those two at wing back and a front three of Gray, Maddison and Iheanacho.

[copunk]

Theyve gone stronger then we all thought, obviously want us to win as always but wont be too disheartened should we not

[tsintskaro]

any link?

Aren't they our top scorers during the pre-season?

Will be too much for us I think, actually quite strong relatively speaking.

[Jonezy]

Feels like a pre-season game. Just hoping it wont get too embarrassing and someone steps up.  

[Blue and white]

The dreaded three at the back returns

[reynard]

Well we needed to rest the players that count, or most of them. A good run out for a few who need it around the fringes of the first team squad but really illustrates the lack of depth in quality we have in some positions. Not a key competion but we don't want to get thrashed either as that would be bad for overall confidence.

Arsenal just look to have a better squad with more quality and I think it will show tonight.

Knew Tavares wouldn't be involved. FFS

Yep Arsenal gone pretty strong, well they just have a better overall squad than us. I hope people remember all the "I don't care" if we're handsomely beaten. 

 

At least noone has paid £20 for a ticket. 

Just £10 for a live stream!

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Can see pace being a real issue against us tonight. However it's clear and obvious that we've put this low on our priorities for this season.

Arsenal's line-up

 

 

They've gone stronger than expected

Might be the only trophy they think they have a chance of winning. We're not bothered about a tin-pot trophy, we have bigger ambitions. 

[Collymore]

Our team is hard one to judge.

 

On their day that team has some serious talent but it will ultimately depend on what state Morgan and Amartay are in... 

 

So looking forward to seeing KDH against some quality opposition. 

[StanSP]

I can understand the weaker and much-changed line-up. Just hope we don't embarrass ourselves.

[FoxesWalk]

Strong arsenal lineup, will do well to make it through tbh. A bit of luck probably needed and the second string lads putting in a real shift to try and earn some more minutes in the first team. 
 

Dont fancy our chances, but love it when we beat Arsenal, can’t stand them

Yeah it's a shame. 

[RowlattsFox]

We might have a chance of scoring but can't see the defence standing firm but we'll see. Front 4 for them are energetic and pacey and ours, well, ain't.

Tavares > KDH imo. Hopefully Sidnei does not follow Gyamfi out the exit door!
