  • Second PL game Torreira starts, second clean sheet for Arsenal. Coincidence?

  • I liked watching Watford, reminds me of Newcastle with Cisse and Demba Ba. Arsenal quietly collects points which I like too :)

  • Wow , I thought both will score and will be goals here

  • Arsenal has no 1vs1 players anymore as oppose to all other teams in the top 7-8 ...

  • @neumi17 The closest thing we have is Iwobi and Mkhitaryan

  • Big draw here

  • Arsenal will not enjoy this match, Deeney will be a constant menace and I can see the match ending in a draw with BTTS.

  • Hope Deeney catches an elbow in the mouth

  • @mobaffiliated LOL

  • this will be a tough match for the gunners but at the end 2-1 .btts 100%.

  • Interesting to see how much Ramsey is involved with the team now that the club have withdrawn the contract offer to him. Hopefully not at all in the prem team. It makes no sense given he will likely be sold in January.

  • Our training-ground neighbours have been the most impressive team this season, all things considered. The 4-2-2-2 formation has brought the best out of a number of the players (Hughes in particular, who must be close to an England call) and the front-line nuisance-making of Gray & Deeney is putting defences under pressure. The last part of that sentence is the most worrying if we start Cech and Mustafi while playing out from the back. Neither of those are comfortable on the ball and the team look uncomfortable when either player is on the ball. Leno & Holding should start, but I don't think they will- especially with Cech having a MotM performance against Everton. Holebas & Pereyra should find success while double-teaming Bellerin (which is inevitable due to Oezil's reluctance to defend/press) and I would be shocked if we don't concede a number of chances originating from that side of the pitch. We are built to outscore teams rather than shut them out, this wont be easy. 2-1 Arsenal.

  • A tough test for Arsenal. Could be where the winning streak ends. Having said that would love to see the Arsenal spank Watford again. Will be interesting to see how our midfield deals with Hughes et al, and how our defence deals with Gray.
