    Very tough game this one.
    If we win it, though, wow - we will REALLY be in the driving seat!

    Not bigger than Spurs or Bayern IMO, same same.

    It might look like it based on league position but I still think Chelsea will have their ups and downs this Season - I don't think they can maintain a real challenge.

    We are playing them whilst on a good run of form so It's going to be a tough game.

    Maresca confirming that Palmer is back for this one and could be in contention to start. Would surprise me if he starts, considering how long he's been out for. But let's see.

    Arteta confirming that Trossard's injury wasn't as bad as feared and could be in contention to start this game.

    He also said the scans for Havertz and Gyokeres were unclear, so we need another scan before the game to see whether they can be involved this weekend or not.

    Also mentioned that Gabriel Jesus was involved in a behind-closed-doors friendly with Watford and Gabriel Magalhaes' recovery is 'evolving well'.

    We should be going into this game high on confidence, Chelsea should be fearing us. Thats not to say this game is a given, anything can happen. We need to be brave and impose our will on them, keep the crowd quiet.

    If we win this game it will be a huge statement.

    This is the game. The real test.
    Spurs and Bayern proved to be below four Premier League , but Chelsea are the real deal, packed full of dangerous players and a mean defence.
    I don't think we'll be caught if we win this game. I know it's early in the season, but winning tomorrow would be one of the biggest results for us in a long time.

    Gyokeres and Jesus have arrived with the squad according to Arsenal journos.

    Havertz, Trossard and Gabriel are the ones missing.

    Wait, Saliba is missing too? FFS. That's our two first-choice CBs missing...

    What's the deal with Saliba, not even on the bench.

    We need to change
    These injuries are devastating
    Our entire central defence and attack is out.

    Merino is going to cost us a goal eventually in this game. His passing has been woeful.

    Poor start from Zubimendi too. So sloppy.

    That’s a red unless there is blatant cheating in this league to the levels where it’s the most corrupt league in the world.
