Match day thread for the away London Derby at the Emirates.

I know we have Copenhagen up first, and our match day threads, and forum traffic, are a bit slower than the norm, but this is Arsenal, so thought maybe some met want this up early to begin discussing it.

4-5-1 for me, Conte at Man city plan.

Fofana

Tosin

Colwill

Lavia

[Dubair]

Not overly pessimistic nor optimistic for this one. They share pretty much the exact same complaints that we do. A low key 1-1 draw is a fairly likely result.

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Think we can get a draw, but it depends if everyone shows up.

DROP DEEP, THEIR DEFENDERS WON'T HAVE ANYONE TO MARK

Not expecting a point and expect a hammering.

Not expecting a point and expect a hammering.

My feelings exactly.

 

[General]

Cant see past Gooners getting all 3 points if I'm honest, same if I was a dishonest person as well.

If Lavia is fit enough for 70 minutes he starts for me. His passing through the lines makes us a much quicker team and that helps Palmer especially.

Don’t think Maresca will be brave enough to do that as it’s Enzo who would make way and he’s been pretty decent in a sh*t period for the club.

My team would be 4-3-3 with no number 9 and the 3 attackers given licence to roam

I have zero faith in us getting anything from this game. We simply don’t have it in us. We don’t score and can’t defend

 

[Sexyfootball]

Hopefully we can improve on last season's result in this fixture.

A 3-0 or 4-0 defeat perhaps ...

Joking aside, I think we might spring a huge surprise and sneak a draw or a narrow win (it's the hope that kills you LOL)

 

[dansubrosa]

I can’t see us scoring.

2 - 0 to Arsenal, set pieces goals.

 

[Hitherto]

Chelsea will lose for certain, hope we don't get humiliated. My only hope now is if we can miraculously qualify for the champions league, we certainly don't deserve to. Change manager next year

If we finish in the top 5 we’ll absolutely deserve to. League position very very rarely lies at the end of a season

 

[axman2526]

Really shows how poor the PL is this season that we could, if we were not so inept now and managed by a fool, actually go within striking distance of SECOND place if we could beat Arsenal.

Palmer goal and assist makes it 2-0 Chelsea as Marescaball bores controls Arsenal to death

Evissy demands we pay tribute to Boehly and Clearlake for personally leading their team to this result
