Would have liked to have seen Giroud start this

Palace will sit back and I think we have missed a trick by not starting Giroud

Hope I am wrong

Nah I think being at home, Palace will try to compete and leave space to exploit. We tend to do quite well away against the lower mid-table teams precisely because of that.

Fat Sam won't give us space

As fat as he is, I don't think he can fill the whole pitch...

I wouldn't be surprised if Ox goes and i wouldn't be mad at him. Boy just can't get his game time he deserves. Pis*ed with that.

Only just made the bench on Wednesday after yet another injury - no point risking him.

Welbeck needs to have an impact today.

After a long injury, players tend to come back with a bang with all the adrenaline pumping but then go on a massive downer.

Set plays and corners could be another problem tonight

Could do with big win to help increase our goal difference

0-6 win

Very confident for some reason

A 'free' game for us so nothing to lose as such. I just hope we don't get a right royal whipping.
0-2 or 1-3 and i'll be happy......ish.

It feels like a preseason friendly. The season is already over, we finished below Spurs and 15+ points of the league winners (Chelsea) and we have nothing to play for (except the FA Cup).

I'm also expecting a huge win which will give Wenger the platform to announce he has signed a new contract.

Think it'll take a bit more than a couple of wins against poor sides for Wenger to announce he's staying, I reckon he'll do it if we beat City, if not then it'll be when there are no games left.
Either way it's a joke, time's up.

If eleney and Xhaka play like they did on Wednesday we should win. Good passing, won the ball back really well and let the attackers have freedom

come on Arsenal. Don't let Ghanaians down

DJ?
