Arsenal are looking to respond to Tuesday night’s defeat to Everton, but it won’t be easy as we face Man City at the Etihad.
Here are today’s official line-ups.
Man City: Bravo, Kolarov, Zabaleta (c), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Sterling, De Bruyne, Sané, Silva, Toure
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Nolito, Navas, Iheanacho, A Garcia
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Coquelin, Ozil, Iwobi, Walcott, Alexis
Subs: Ospina, Holding, Gibbs, Elneny, Oxlade-Chamberalin, Lucas, Giroud
Coq and Xhaka need to stamp their authority in the middle today.
We have to win this game. Show us what you can do guys!
COYG!!
Iwobi brings a little more control. Like the lineup. Just win.
we have to score first in this one to open it up a bit. Kolarov and Otamendi will be their weakness, especially against super sub Giroud!
COYG!!!
xhaka, a nice 35 yard ball smashed in for the first would be great!
All teams have problems as man c have ronaldhino and aguero missing but if arsenal fc can win this game at least the away games the team had recently can be of course harder games for arsenal fc. The match is shown str8 after bournemouth v saints on skysports 1 chavs have that edge but it would be nice to see arsenal win today three pts a week from christmas
When did they sign Ronaldinho? He’s a bit old now isn’t he? Top player though and best perm in the game.
It’s this nervous excitement that makes me love football. Come on you Gunners!
De Bruyne is the false 9. I see you Pep.
Arsenal to win 1-2, thank me later.
Had a dream this morning..3-0 to the Arses
Where is Ramsey?
Coq will be closing down Silva, one of the Fernans will be marking Özil, that means Xhaka has a straight up contest with Toure.
I feel very doomy about this game.
I like this lineup. I expect a win from us. We can’t expect anything less if we want to be serious about that number one spot. Our players need to want it, more than any of us.
(side note: thank God Sterling plays on the left wing and not the right)
tho not a popular pick these days, Ramsey on the wing would have given us more balance in a game against possession dominant city. maybe i guess thats why Iwobi starts ahead of the OX today.
Here we go again
though not a popular pick these days, Ramsey on the wing (if fit) would have given us more balance in a game against possession dominant city. maybe i guess thats why Iwobi starts ahead of the OX today.
That moment in the fifth minute when Sanchez takes off his gloves, u know shizz about to get serious today
Sorry but the Coquelin and Xhaka Midfield is not working. I don’t know whether the defenders were defending too deep or the Midfield not attacking the City forwards but it really is not working.
We are weak. Ozil once again no show against big teams away.
Where’s our mental strength???FFS
That was shit
