Thinking we'll lose this but if we can fight out a win that'll be an amazing achievement for Arteta.

Just not sure if lightening will strike twice for us after the Liverpool game.

I won't get down about this one though, we have nothing to lose but just to try and scrap our way to a possible win.

I suppose my main concern is that City have something to play for so will be sharp, Liverpool were pretty much playing half mast, that'll probably be the difference.

City's form is too good right now and even without Aguero they have goal threats in Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus and KDB. We will need to outscore them for a win, as I don't see us getting anywhere near a clean sheet.

Martinez in a penalty shootout would be very interesting to see though.

The lads defended gallantly in the 2nd half against Pool, but then again, City have a lot to play for.

I'm really torn with the line-up. It's City, so we have to pack the midfield. A 4-1-4-1 would work better, I feel. But then again, our defenders are tools. And a lone-striker up top would remain isolated.

3-4-3 looks the best option all things considered.

I wouldn't be opposed to:

Martinez
Bellerin - Mustafi - Luiz - Tierney
Torreira
Saka - Xhaka - Ceballos - Auba
Lacazette


That CB partnership though...

To double down on this, I feel so underwhelmed not having a player who could change the game on his own.

Alexis could do that.

Auba is a world class striker, but he's no Alexis.

Probs the most underrated Arsenal player. Between him, our Mesut, and Gilberto.

Alexis is not underrated, AFC worshipped the guy.

But any player who goes to Utd gets the "forgotten" treatment, doesn't mean we didn't think the sun shone out of his backside when he was wearing the White & Red.

Sanchez was our new top star since RVP.
