Arsenal vs Ipswich (PL) 1-0

Raya

Timber - Saliba - Gabriel - MLS

Odegaard - Partey - Merino

Fartinelli - Jesus - Trossard

Bench:
Neto, KT, Jakub, Cala, Rice, Nwaneri, Havertz, Sterling (if fit), Jorginho.

Keep Rice fresh for Brentford away and give Havertz a break too. Could even be a game to see Jorginho in for Partey but bit too much risk in one go there.

What an incentive for tomorrow night now!

We have got back the points we lost against Everton and Fulham now and can go 2nd.

Letā€™s concentrate on getting ahead of Chelsea first

Big Gabi 92nd minute own goal for Ipswich to win confirmed

Iā€™d like to see Nwaneri right wing. He has to be part of the solution to the Saka injury and youā€™re not going to have a better opportunity to blood him into the side as a starter and get some minutes in his legs.

Exactly what I have been thinking.

Add to that, Ipswich arenā€™t exactly a thuggish side, so itā€™s not like heā€™s going to get kicked around too much, which would be a reason not to start him, regardless as to how good the opposition might be.

Unless itā€™s injury related, I wouldnā€™t accept anything other than Trossard-Jesus-Martinelli starting tomorrow.

Nwaneri can come on as a sub later like he did at Palace but those three looked very good against Palace and theyā€™ll need the rounds to get some more chemistry between them.

TRAVEL ADVICE FOR TONIGHT:

If youā€™re going to the match, donā€™t forget that while this isnā€™t a bank holiday, most railway lines will have engineering work and itā€™ll be a Sunday service where trains are running.

In particular on the NE London/Cambridge lines out of Liverpool Street and Crossrail. The Piccadilly Line has a shortage of trains due to leaf damage (I shit you not*) so there will be delays.

Check your journey, in particular the journey home as some lines may close early.

*Thereā€™s a long and dull explanation for it. It is a serious issue for trains sometimes.

Tbf to the Picadilly line trains aswell they are pretty much all 50 years old or more. What 50 year old doesnā€™t have problems with leafs?

Unbelievable that this is still a problem.

Itā€™s been an issue for fucking weeks now.

I was just about to say feel like thereā€™s been severe delays on the Piccadilly line for a few weeks now.

This should even out @Bl1nkā€™s jinxing presence?

Is he a good coach? We shouldnā€™t just give him a job because he is a nice guy and was a good player for us

Today has been stupidly long already

Gonna miss this one due to some technical issue. Hope we spank them though. At least thatā€™s what Iā€™m expecting to see in the highlights tomorrow morning.
