I've seen so many fans of both teams saying 'form goes out of the window' - to be honest that isn't true for this derby. Generally the better team in better form wins. They've not won in the last 3 & we're in a pretty weird run of form, so I think it'll be a draw.
My worry is how easy we are to score against. Looking at their side they aren't that well set up to exploit our high line, unless they play Sterling. But they can always nick one one from a set-piece.
I think our best bet is to look to get on the ball. I think if they let us dominate the ball and sit back, their fans will so quickly get on their case. We cannot concede first. If it is 0-0 at half-time they will be under a lot of pressure to attack us. Their fans won't let them play for a draw and that is where we may get some joy.
*I know i've said I think it's a draw - I do have a tiny suspicion we are going to absolutely batter them...
I genuinely wouldn’t bet against that weirdo getting on the pitch at some point during the game. He’s done it already this season vs Inter and nearly did the same at their place vs us last season when Kulusevski was breaking up the wing.Arteta actually stops a Spurs counter attack by bringing down one of our players and nothing is done about it.
I suspect we will have at least one sending off? Then we beat them of course…
Arr you a pirate?
Absolute wallopers, if there was ever any doubt that favouritism is shown by sky there it is, 4 of our back 5 out long term and not a word uttered by the fuckers.
Yeah, this and Chelsea.My least favourite game of the season. Absolutely dreading it.
Fearing the worst, hoping for the best.
