I think it will be a 2-1 either way. Not as clear cut as some are thinking.

If I had to pick a result right now it would be a City win, simply because they are devastating at home. But an Arsenal win would hardly be a massive upset. You're top of the league because you are a good team and deserve to be there.

Even if Arsenal do lose today, I don't think you'll lose to Chelsea. And I still think you have a great chance of staying up there right to the end of the season and winning the title

What makes you say monreal will start?

With Giroud it will be a problem as soon as the whistle is blown. I facking hope the handsome cant proves me wrong.

Ramsey, Flamini and to an extent Rosicky will run around all game no matter how tired they are so dont worry too much about the midfields fitness

I'm going for a win with Giroud scoring the decisive goal.

It was confirmed yesterday that Monreal will start.

If we don't get Theo starting and firing today, we're losing. Cos City will certainly score. They never fail to do so at home. We have to shake up a frontline that's misfiring at the moment. And ffs, Cazorla has to wake up and start playing to his level.

City are clear favourites but we're not Blackpool. If we play well, we have a big chance.

Where was this confirmed? I saw nothing of the sort.

Cazorla shouldn't start. Even if he does suddenly find his form if there's anyone who will know how to stop him its Pellegrini. Cazorlas probably Pellegrinis favourite player and they have a father/son like relationship

Can't blame the media for thinking it's a formality, City are a machine at home, I'd be ecstatic with a point

The only opponent we have is fatigue. We have nothing to lose. We stay top no matter what. I am confident and not nervous. Everyone has written us off already so COYG.

I'll like to see Rosicky start. His intensity, workrate and enthusiasm always makes us look better and play at a higher tempo.

Rosicky's been $hit in his last couple of game.

I'd love a midfield of Ramsey Özil and Flamini.

Santi is struggling with his defensive responsibilities atm, his form is disappointing me I have to admit. Hope he adapts soon.

He hasnt been chit. Just off the.pace a little

Clearly arsenal are the better team overall, but the big test is their home form they know they are going to score at some point.

Keep a clean sheet and your half way there.

On another not get beat and we win we have clawed you back to 2 points at the top

Wilshere misser the game midweek so he looks a cert to start. Wenger was saying Walcott looks stronger in training this week so he might have a chance to start finally. And if monreal starting has been confirmed I expect the team to be like this:


______Szczesny________
Sagna Mer Kos Monreal
______F l a m s e y__________
Walcot Ozil Wilshere
______Giroud____________

Where.has monreal.starting been confirmed? Sounds like guano to me.
