    Boys - this is yet another MUST win game for our opposition following - Spuds, Pool & even Hull...
    We have no pressure, right? No way. For title contenders every game is must win.
    Especially when we have the best ever PL manager managing best ever crooked / biased PL team.

    Not dropping points against top 6 teams like Spuds & Goons will be impressive.

    Relatively little pressure on us & more pressure on the likes of Goons.

    We need to avenge our drubbing at the Emirates last year.
    Can we drop Eden for this one and face a real test?

    Will take a draw, but hope it will be a win for us.
    Going to be a close affair.

    Will be a close game and no way Arsenal will be as bad as they were in recent games v Watford and Bournemouth. However I fancy us at home to maybe nick a 2-0 or 2-1.

    Hoping we smash them. I think we will do better with our current formation

    I'd start Fabregas for this one.

    why o why? Conte will never make the same mistake.
    Cescy single handedly dragged us down last year against Goons. Conte's biggest blunder yet.
    Based on the league cup performance against Leicester, started Cescy against goons and got slaughtered.

    here you go - if you have forgotten already

    I'd give him a chance to end his old clubs title hopes.
    More than capable when he wants to be

    I read that Wenger will be banished to a secluded place in the East Stand for this game as part of his 4 match ban for gobbing off. I'll go for Chelsea 3 Goons 0.

    Don't want to be too analytical, but it seems to me the problem with Fabregas lies when he has to play alongside Matic in the central defensive role. Yes you would think with his undoubted passing ability he could control the game from this position, but he doesn't, and looks poor because of his lack of defensive nous. The best way to get the best play from Cesc is to put him just behind the front line, but that means changing a winning formula. I think we actually played better when he came on against the bin dippers and he looked happy when he came on, impact sub, he may well be, changes the dynamic for sure and gives us a complete change of focus.

    Would be more than happy with a 1-0 win, but somehow think there are more goals in these 2 teams. All pressure is on us from where I sit, so again, this is a very important game .
    Something is telling me we will really lift for this one and win well.

    i like Fabregas and he's an option to bring on if we need a goal as he changes the whole attacking impetuous.

    However Arsenal are really good on the front foot so think our defence will need help from the midfield. Makes sense to stick with Kante and Matic for the first hour at least and see how we are doing.

    Like ACB said - Cescy played crucial role.
    After all that Cechy / Cescy goal was crucial. Thank ****.
