This is going to be decided whichever strikers are more clinical. If Auba is up and about, we win because he could have an absolute field day against the Chelsea defense. But my worry is Giroud gets off the chain, gets an assist, scores 1, and we lose 2-1. But I think today we get the biscuits. Arsenal 3 (Auba, Pepe, Holding) - Chelsea 1 (Pulisic)
A few more precedents you can channel perhaps: 2008: Portsmouth who also finished in 8th place in the league went on to lift the cup 2005: Arsenal being out-played we are resilient and beat ManUre on PK's Come on you mid-table underdogs!!!
Just got done with a three hour conference call. Come on Arsenal. Give me a reason to procrastinate for three hours.
Nketiah, Nelson and Saka will come on at some point, but I wonder if we see Willock or Torreira. Maybe Smith comes on and does a madness?
Chelsea start Pulisic and Mount, no Willian (assume he's already agreed to terms with Arsenal) Kepa doesn't start. Kante is on the bench. Alonso and James start at wingbacks as they match Arsenal's formation.
Martin Tyler's mic level is usually too low to hear well, but today it's even worse than usual. Mix it back up please guys?
UGH, my worse nightmare. Pulisic makes it 1-0 within the first 10 mins. Edit: Maybe with any luck this will be a multiple goal affair and we'll have good chance to come back and go ahead. It looks pretty open so far. p.s. Deep down I'm happy for Christian... just wish he didn't do it against us.
No pressure on jorginho for their goal, why? This team is shite xhaka already caught out early their press shits on ours 3 nil to them I reckon
