A lot more confident now Saka is available
how come, did some news drop recently? 
I havenât felt as confident going into this in like a decade plus. I honestly feel like weâre on level with them. I think they fear facing us as much as we fear facing them.
Even with Saka out and a bunch of their guys returning on time to face us, I think we have enough to have a proper fight on Sunday.
really hope you are right - leaving the Emirates after the Spuds game was depressing, I am hoping for better this weekend!
Itâs obviously hard to be confident with our showing this season which I think has been well below the level we were at a year ago. But I donât think weâre in for a thumping like many think. Mistakes will be made but I do think we will be right there on them like a rash too. Partey and Rice in the midfield is a must and if Saka is out you have to go with Havertz in the 9 and Jesus wide interchanging. No idea on what Martinelli and Trossardâs situation is but thatâs a tricky decision indeed.
Iâll go 2-2.

I am not convinced we are levels below a year ago - we are definitely less gung ho than last season but I think that is largely intentional and is a result of our falling off at the end of the season.
Early days still but our dropped points have been individual (unnecessary) errors, whereas last season we were caught on the break, played through the press, outhustled, etc.

I googled the last time we got anything against them in the league. It came up April 2017. I have absolutely no memory of this game?! 
dreaming of a repeat of 2015

At the very least we will not concede a goal from Holding getting outjumped by Sterling with their first cross into the box.

all these injuries reminds me of that time manu had a hobbled together squad and we were like surely we have to beat them this time. Only to get smacked about by noob Rashford.

Silva is back and was back in CL game as well.
We actually played that game like a typical arsenal team.
Dominated the game, conceded stupid goals and then chasing game
London, I am in you.

Potentially with a double pivot - I had thought from start of season we may see that when we play the âstrongerâ sides.
Pep bigging us up before the game per usual. Itâs time we prove him right. COYG!!

Bit risky to start Partey against City on Sunday who wasnât even supposed to be back by now without any minutes under him in the last month, no?
Time for a statement win. 3-1 Arsenal.
