Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

That front 4 is pure sex. Would rip that Arsenal back line to shreds

Not strictly a front 4, just 2 upfront and 2 wide up and downers in the Sheedy Steven, Hill and Coppell manner, who and how many with split them up is Carlos business

Will be interesting to see how Ancelotti lines up.

I would prefer a 3-5-2 but if he does stick with 4-4-2 I cant see anything but the same team minus Bernard for Iwobi & Sidibe for Walcott.

If Kean wasn't currently struggling you could have the luxury of Richarlison out wide but I feel that Carlo knows he has to keep Rich alongside DCL if we are to do anything going forward.

As said a draw wouldnt be a disaster - one of those games for me that is a must not lose.

Arsenal - must not lose
Man Utd - must win
Chelsea - free hit
Liverpool - free hit

It would be nice to finally get a win at their ground, with Ancelotti at the helm anything is possible. I certainly don’t worry about today’s game as much as I have done in recent years although I tend to just treat this fixture as I do when we play away to Liverpool, if we get something from the game happy days.

The media are so desperate for Arsenal to win. They are doing their best to not praise the job Ancelotti has done, whilst having a wankathon over Arteta. Really hope we win today.

The sad thing is if you swap the two managers, it would be Carlo getting all the praise etc etc

never won at the emirates,dont think we ll have a better chance!

So true, although despite how crap this arsenal team is, they don't lose much sadly. I mean we said the same thing you said above about anfield and this squad bottled it as usual.

I think people are overplaying how bad arsenal are here..
They have players like aubemayang, pepe, lacazette, ozil who can score in a blink of an eye and good youngsters like saka and martinelli too.
We could win but if we dont I would not be goin overboard about been terrible and bottling it.

Id love a win, we are capable, but I feel the most likely outcome is a draw........

Agreed it certainly isn't a walkover game but we have a very good chance to get a win here with DCL/Richarlison in rich form, Arsenal have hardly been in good form (mostly drawing tbf) but they have dangerous players so we need to be cautious.

I'd love a clean sheet, although I seem to have been saying that for a while now.....

Weird how anyone with "Forever" in their name automatically seems to speak sense.

Bum these. Got to show plenty of aggression straight from the off here, get into them and hopefully grab an early goal to stick the heebie jeebies up 'um.

Arsenal - must not lose
Man Utd - must win
Chelsea - 50/50 (we’re still crap)
Liverpool - free hit
