Can we? I hope Wenger plays a full strength team - if he does, and we win, decent chance of silverware this season.
When we did last get dumped out of a domestic cup on our ground? Must be a while back because to my mind we always seem to do well when we play on our home ground in the CC and FA Cup so that gives us a chance. Also City play Liverpool two days before so will not doubt not risk their big players. Also they have that massive game in Italy the week before. So I think we will see a proper 2nd team from City. We should mix and match. Play a strong defence. And have the likes of Walcott,Gervinho and Van Persie on the bench. Can we beat them? Yes. But its going to a very nervy night I feel. Maybe even pens.
I see no reason why not. Not doubting it will be a very tough game but Man City are by no means unbeatable. Will look forward to the challenge.
Of course we can beat them, but it will be a hell of a struggle. I agree with the pens prediction though.
Arsenal can win the game, its just one we don't need to focus our attention on. I'd expect to see the same kind of line-up as we saw vs Bolton or Shrewsbury. Make no mistakes that even with the line-up we saw vs Bolton, we can still win. The youth of Arsenal have exemplary spirit and determination to prove they can play with the big boys. We saw vs Liverpool a couple of years ago, just how adept our young guns can be. It is a shame that Miyaichi won't feature.
I don't think so. I think Wenger will rightly put up a line-up in order to rest players for the PL games. We may see a couple of first-teams come in as subs if we are leading or if we are losing badly (like 3-0 or summat). So No.
you narrowly beat the shrews, i see no reason why you should not beat city by the same score. arsenal 3 city 1
