Arsenal - Nottingham Forest

Wassy is right though, it stops them getting one on one and into our box, despite Liverpool’s chances we haven’t done too bad from defending set pieces (ie conceding goals).

Be delighted with a point today but it's a tough ask.

Hi, Just a heads up, if someone can take over Team News duty for the next couple of weeks please, no Twitter where I am, only way for me to follow tomorrows game is on here, so please keep it busy....thanks.....just realised its Sunday, game today!

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

OK Joe we will do our best.

We're expected to get spanked today so don't get too disheartened if it happens

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Agree with that. Want to see a good battling performance and create a few decent chances on the break.
As long as we dont get absolutely slaughtered not too fussed on the result, just dont look a soft touch.

Suspect Arsenal will rotate some players. They play again in Europe midweek and then Chelsea at weekend.

I watch a lot of Arsenal (2nd to Forest of course) their team picks itself
They tend to play 4 1 4 1
Using partey as the defensive midfielder in front of the back 4
The back 4 lately consisting of 4 big centre back types and a mistake in all of them when under pressure
White and tomeasky (on left) both of these being weak and vulnerable positions to attack
With 2 great wide players saka and Martinelli quick and direct
zhaka now is a box to box type and odegard is more the number 10 creative type
Playing behind the ever impressive Jesus
Arsenal do not score many and they are always suspect at the back with a mistake always likely
So it would be no surprise to get a 1-1 draw

I think they are there for the taking.

Big game in Europe mid week and Chelsea next weekend...........so they will be resting people.

They will also be "scared" of getting injured......so we need to be hard in the tackle...........they will back off...............got to be strong and quick to close them down today.........a few more yellow cards who cares..........make them hurt and we might even nick a win,

[Paplane]

In don't buy this theory that they'll put out an understrength team, 3 points against us is the same as 3 points against Chelsea.

[JWJW]

but they will think a weak side can take 3 points off of us.......but a strong team needed to beat Chelsea

We turned them over last season and they have seen us turn Liverpool over last week (who thought they couls wing it).  They'll be up for it I'm sure JW. They're playing Zurch on Thursday. Imo that's the game they'll rest their players.
