Exactly what Arsenal are famous for...

Tonight I expect to see rabbits in the headlights from Arsenal and a 3-1 win for City.

Arsenal have to win tonight or their challenge will unravel, its a young inexperienced squad that will hit them.

Partey out injured tonight. Huge blow that for Arsenal

Fitz*

Sounds like Jorginho is starting alright

ShamoBuc

Arsenal will be doing very well to get a draw tonight. Would put some pressure on Pep if they lose. Arsenal are certainly due a win v City.

pep being clever with only 3 defenders?

Team to play Arsenal: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Rodri, Ake, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish

and no party for arsenal tonight? time will tell

Team to play Man City: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Jorginho, Odegaard, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli

Mr.Nice Guy

I'll go City by 2.

y0ssar1an22

Mr.Crinklewood

City 4-1

Interesting to see the consistency now if that wasn't a foul by Silva on Saka

Fitz*

Man City playing a game of 'lets keeping fouling Saka'.

This is shaping up to be the dullest game of the weekend.

Silva should be carded for that foul. No attempt at the ball at all.

Thats Peps shtick recently. Since he fell out with Cancelo he has abandoned full backs completely and added an extra midfielder.

High feet are getting lower these days.

Certainly the formation he played against Villa. Are we calling it a 3-1-5-1?

Quazzie

How many fouls does Silva have to commit from behind before the ref calls it persistent enough to warrant a card

y0ssar1an22

nketia has to score there

sligeach

What a great chance for Nketiah. Should have got that header on target.

Terrible mistake, gifted to KDB

Mr.Nice Guy

Lovely finish by De Bruyne.

y0ssar1an22

feck sake arsenal, gifted city a goal. tomiyasu tries dodgy pass back

wanderer100

Howler from Tomiyasu

Why isn’t Ben White starting

sligeach

Shocking mistake by Arsenal.

ShamoBuc

Poor mistake, great finish.

Loafing Oaf

That's it. Game over, so-called title race over.

How has Silva not been booked yet?

~Rebel~

Huuuge ask from Arsenal here now. Really need to keep the heads. A draw would be alright, but they really can't afford to lose this.

ShamoBuc

Disgrace that Silva hasnt been booked. Watch him give out second half yellows for far less.

Amends should have benn mnade there.

y0ssar1an22

and tomiyasa prob should have scored there, hit the target at least
