U.K - February 21 - 16:30pm: vs Manchester City (Europa League) - SkySports USA - February 21 - 11:30am: vs Manchester City (Europa League) - Peacock CAN - February 21 - 11:30am: vs Manchester City (Europa League) - DAZN AUS - February 22 - 03:30am: vs Manchester City (Europa League) - OptusSports Sandwiched between two neutral locations for the EL we head back to London for a match against Manchester City. I would imagine that we would be playing a second string lineup as the EL is our focus at the moment, and with the form City are in right now I imagine that means we are up for a hard nights work. But purple patches have to end at some point, time for us to get a W and maybe make the PL a little bit more interesting at the top. 2-1 to the Arsenal is my prediction, with goals from Willian and Lacazette.
Yeah, this game screams for Willian! But as I posted in the previous thread, I'm not sure that Mikel will be able to suppress his pride and competitiveness as he faces off with Pep again. So as much as you & I want him to use a "lesser" XI tomorrow so as to play our absolute best XI on Thursday, I'm not sure the boss is going to agree. Before KO of virtually every game I have belief and hope that we can win. But tomorrow, ******** it, just get out of there without any new injuries, and without anything more than -2 or -3 GD and that'll be a moderate success.
5 changes from Benfica. Tierney back. Two new CB's. Elneny for Ceballos. And Pepe gives ESR a rest. 📋 Today's team news is in!🏴 @KieranTierney1 starts🏴 @RobHolding95 returns🇪🇸 @PabloMV5 will partner him#️⃣ #ARSMCI— Arsenal (@Arsenal) February 21, 2021
Good rotation, especially at the back. Just hope he doesn’t wear Hector out. Can barely remember the last time he wasn’t in the XI
And DeBruyne's first start after his injury? p.s. I like Gundogan quite a lot, but I wouldn't be unhappy if he were to re-aggravate his groin early in this match.
I am not yet a subscriber to the drag rooster, so relying on PBP feeds for me. Am very realistic about the day, keeping my eyes on the big picture. That being said, C'mon you Gunners!
Saka starts on the left and Pepe on the right. Arteta doing something different for City? That didn't take long :-(
Gee could we make it any easier for them? Holding & Bellerin looking at each other and saying "I thought you had him"?
Maybe they will do a lot of switching sides? Saka has been arguably more valuable on the right than Pepe is diminished on the left.
