Regardless of how this match finishes up, it has all the ingredients to be an entertaining and attacking game of football. Fingers crossed we can bounce back from the midweek defeat and I hope City struggle without their missing players. A victory at Manchester City would be just the tonic but let’s make no mistake, missing players or not, Manchester City away is a very tough game no matter which 11 they field

A win though would be sweet as though wouldn’t it? We need to keep up our confidence before our trip to City on the weekend. We may well have to grind this one out a little as I expect the home side to be very defensive in their approach but hopefully we can keep Lukaku quiet and we can find a way through a couple of times during the 90 minutes. I'm picking Theo as a one to watch tonight, hopefully his goal and the return of Bellerin can help him go on another scoring run during an important part of the season
Gabriel is also a front-footed defender. He often marks his opponents touch tight and is more than willing to battle for possession and challenge strikers on the turn. However, does his prowess for stealing possession match that of the exceptional Mustafi? Doubted. The Brazilian has been waiting for his chance to play and it has come but only through injuries to Bellerin and Debuchy and a decimation of confidence of Jenkinson. Now with Mustafi suffering from a hamstring strain it seems that Gabriel will get an opportunity to compete in his favoured position

Aaron Ramsey made his first central midfield start against PSG and it looked as if he really reigned in his desire to play in the final third. He was snapping into tackles, made more passes than any other Arsenal player, made more ball recoveries than any of his teammates etc. Meanwhile Xhaka has impressed in his last two starts for Arsenal, improving on his defensive contributions and still showing his excellent passing range. That diagonal pass for Alexis eh? Woof!
