I am very nervous about this game but I think we might just have enough in our locker to run out 1-0 winners.

Need big Fraser to be back to his best again though…

Depending on the result, Bearsy and I will be holding a firesale of various body parts - there should be some high mileage bargains.

They are welcome to them, they’re no use to me any more…

Wonder if the utterly amazing Boufal will turn up. Or the utterly shit one.

When he scored his first utterly amazing goal in the game against Sunderland, he was utterly shit for most of that game.

I trust that helps.

I’m surprised and not surprised in equal measure that Puel hasn’t matched Chelsea’s back three.

Surprised because other managers have reverted to a back 3 against Chelsea with relative success. Playing our usual game against Chelsea didn’t work at home and playing with both Tadic and Boufal seems risky as neither are renowned for putting in a defensive shift. As Long isn’t in the side it doesn’t look as though the counter attack option is as strong as it could be.

Not surprised because he is Wenger’s prodigy and Arsene is notorious for playing ā€˜his way’ regardless of the opposition’s system or strengths.

For that reason I am intrigued to see how we fare tonight.
