UK - January 2 - 8:00pm: @ West Brom (Premier League) - BT Sport USA - January 2 - 3:00pm: @ West Brom (Premier League) - Peacock Premium CAN - January 2 - 3:00pm: @ West Brom (Premier League) - DAZN AUS - January 3 - 7:00am: @ West Brom (Premier League) - OptusSports And by the time this match rolls around, it will be 2021 and hopefully we start 2021 the way 2020 finished. With wins, and making opposition managers upset. Wasn't a pretty win at Brighton but sometimes you just need to grind one out. One nil to the Arsenal is fine by me when there is a W in the column next to the league table at the end of the match. ESR, Saka and Martinelli are our bright spots. We need to keep backing them in, until hopefully some smart purchases get made in January. WBA held Pool to a draw under new manager Sam FiredfromEnglandforbeingdodgydyce but got absolutely rinsed by Leeds. This is another big chance for a win and we must take it to go 3 wins on the trot and make some progress on the league table. We have WBA, Palace, Newcastle, Southampton and Man U for our January fixtures with an FA Cup match with Newcastle thrown in there too. Lets bring in the new year with a big win, COME ON YOU GUNNERS! Prediction: 4-1 Arsenal, Martinelli 2, Laca 1, Auba 1.
Just realised that this is at 8 pm tommorrow. What a rubbish time to play football on a Saturday in the freezing cold and The Hawthorns is the highest ground in England, might make it extra cold. Zero degrees forecast, they'd better get the gloves ready.
I thought I heard their supporters yelling something similar with an UNT after the C every time they shipped a goal vs Leeds last week.
Happy matchday, campers, and good riddance to 2020! Regrettably have to rely on PBP for this one due to the dreaded Peacock. Nonetheleas, c'mon you Gunners!
They always post the lineup on Twitter exactly 1 hour before kickoff. 📋 Tonight's team...🇫🇷 @LacazetteAlex returns to the starting XI🇬🇦 @Aubameyang7 remains in the side🇪🇸 @PabloMV5 continues to partner @RobHolding95#️⃣ #WBAARS— Arsenal (@Arsenal) January 2, 2021
Ok, that line up works for me. Saka instead of Pepe (who isnt on the bench), Cebellos in for Elneny, Martinelli on the bench. That back 4 has been working; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney. But the weather is an X factor. On a clear day I favor los Gunners. But, like the question goes: Can you do it on a snowy day in West Brom?
Discusssions about cancelling it due to heavy snow, but it's stopped now so going ahead at the moment.
Good riddance and goodbye to 2020 as you say, but, this year is not panning out so well in the UK so far.
A few years ago my Atlanta Unite won a snow-bowl at Minnesota. Rather a joy to watch a match in that setting if your team wins.
I went to a WCQ in Denver a few years ago: US v (was it?) Costa Rica. It snowed like 6 inches, the US won and the whole event was slapstick comedy.
I always think of the USMNT WC Qualifier against Costa Rica played in Colorado during a snowstorm. Edit: Wilcox and I thinking alike
Hey, hey, stiff British upper lip and all that. (The, mostly , foreigners will have gloves on though)
