Would be huge boost to even have one or both back on the bench.

 

[philll]

Cool, I didn't think Richy was even in contention.

Having two of them on the bench would be a massive lift.

Even one of them.

I'm not really bothered about Richarlison, but Bentancur is key to this team. Hopefully he plays.

Even if he's back I doubt he'll be ready to start.

 

[djhotspur]

Even if he's back I doubt he'll be ready to start.

Agreed, but what an incredible lift it would provide everyone if we are chasing a game and our options from the bench are Richie and Benta.

I'm holding out hope that the 8 days to prep for this helps play into Conte's hands and the team will be properly ready, focus and organised

Was probably most confident I’d ever been when we played them last season. Just felt like right time, stars aligned etc
I’m full of dread for Sunday, think could be painful & can see lots of unrest in crowd

Agree. There was a real buzz and excitement before the game and the fans were on top form.

Booing every touch they had from the 1st minute and keeping it going all game really made a difference. If we're quiet and edgy Arsenal will grow in confidence

Just found out Greater Anglia has shut down the line north of Cheshunt just to spite me but never mind I'll go via Stratford. But wait Greater Anglia says piss off we've shut that too.
I'm seriously ready to just give up on it, I'm getting too old for the bleeding aggravation, I might just stay home and watch it on the box.
As for the actual game we'll win it, they'll look very pretty but we will win it.
Get behind the team COYS!

Sucks that they'll likely miss the NLD – certainly won't be match-fit – but great news in general that they're close to returning.

Yeah apparently they're doing something with the bridge on Old Nazing Road next to Broxbourne station and closing the line on Sunday - Handy for both yids and gooners travelling to the game.

Don't think I've ever witnessed a more intense atmosphere than that. Was very nervous when romero was ruled out though

As President of the 'Take a draw now' Society
I would take a draw now.

 

[SpringHeeledJim]

yeah i remember being in the pub when the news about Romero came through and felt the same.

i clearly remember some fans in the first couple of minutes giving Sanchez some grief for a sliced clearance. The one player (out of many) that needs the crowd supporting him.

Luckily those pricks got drowned out and Sanchez went on to have a really solid game

 

[Athenspur]

Arsenal team news anyone? Do they have any players missing?

Nope all fit except Jesus. It's why they're doing so freaking well.

 

[Athenspur]

I don't really follow English media, but Chris Sutton's prediction that Arsenal will win 3-0 is the most ridiculoys thing I've read in a long while.

 

[YiddoBirdy]

Agreed will be 4-0 at least

 

[SpursSince1980]

This much is true. They have yet to experience missing three or four key players in a match. But, I don’t want to infer they’d be poor without a few key players, as that would belittle what they have achieved this season. Hats off to the gits, they’ve been playing superbly all season.

NLDs are hard to predict. But there is no way we can win this unless the players can string together two excellent halves of football. Something we haven’t seen all season.

I wonder if Conte may surprise Lego Pep with a 352 in the first half. Try to nullify their midfield. Guess that may depend on Benta’s fitness.

Arteta just won manger of the month for Nov/Dec… please please please let the curse be real!
