We would appear to be the more important fixture this week for Arsenal ,thats if the press and radion stations are to be belived ,Wenger's resting players tonight in prepration for our game ,who'd have thought eh
I actually think we can beat them again. Providing 1. We are up for it. 2. We get after them early. If we sit back it will just encourage their creative players to get on the ball more. I hope we start with both Routledge, dyer and Hernandez. They are also missing Jack Wilshire. which is a massive blow for them as with out them their midfield can be a bit toothless. So I am feeling quite positive for Saturday. If we go for it. 3 - 1 If we sit back. 1 - 1.
Newspapers are reporting that Wenger will field a weakened team against Bayern as he considers it more important to get a result against us. Tongue in cheek suggestions are along the lines that we are the more difficult fixture. The reality is that they probably regard a result in Munich as beyond them no matter which team they field, so they may as well keep some of their big hitters back to face us. Still, it's a mark of respect to us that they feel they need to do this.
Wilshire is not playing. He was the key factor in the last three matches against them. He made the difference and made them tick. We are going to win on Sat. I expect it to be the usual display of great football - end to end excitement, but with us having the edge in possession and goals.

Chico tweeted this about an hour ago! @ChicoFlores12: Good afternoon friends,Saturday nice match against Arsenal,to for 43 points. I'm better of the injury,thank you for the messages of support.
Great game to win lads yes we lost the cup game but I think we could win this one, be great to get the double over them , 2 1
With Monk in the team its going to be a struggle i think. Id settle for a point in this game, i also have the feeling Laudrup will start Bartley for this game,he knows the Arsenal players games and that may help his performance.He did well when he played against them previously so it could be a good option. Monk has zero pace and that is going to be a problem for us against all the top sides. Luke Moore may start if fit, i wonder if he can get 3/3 ?? Michu misssed a few sitters against WBA so there is real evidence both players games dovetail better than when DG played up front. Not sure if Britton is fit,if he is then Ki to the bench and Brits in with JDG who gives us an eye for goal and a creative edge. 1-1 or 2-1 to the Swans
PGF- Love the write up by the way! no faff that everybody already knows garnished with useless information just straight onto peoples thoughts on the game I make an exception for mr gulibles useless information though as that is very left field and always essential reading !
Hope Chico is fully fit as we look so much better with him at the back alongside Ashley. Not sure if Leon has recovered from his thigh strain, no info on the official site but we could really do with him back as well.
Im not that confident in beating arsenal as we have not set the world alight for quite some time now and we must not play the way we have been to beat a top team like arsenal. The pressure will be on us and im sure Arsenal will go for it so we must be disciplined and sort our passing out much better than of late. Im hoping for a win but im not confident enough to say we will win...
