    Arsenal have been pants recently. This is a perfect opportunity for them to turn it around unfortunately

    Just like December at their place. Surely it’s our turn this time though?

    I had a dream that the December to February Saints turned up and tonked Arsenal.

    Then I woke up.

    This game is all about how the team defends and you would expect that we would be tighter than against Chelsea, which was honestly the worst Saints defensive display that I can recall. Most successful teams are built on stability at the back and this must be where we focus at this time.

    Who from Arsenal hasn't scored for ages? A St Mary's rejuvenation is the closest to a sure thing I know of and I need to make some quick Easter egg money.

    I believe that Lacazette hasn't scored from open play since...he last played against us. Back in early December.

    (He has scored two penalties since then.)

    I’m going to think like an Arsenal fan for today…

    Saints have been on a bad run recently. But with our current form you just know they’re likely to suddenly regain their best form against us. They signed well in the summer and whilst Adam Armstrong has not found the back of the net as often as they hoped, he will probably make up for it today, oh and you know the ex player curse will also come back to bite us. Walcott putting the last nail in our coffin with late goal after coming on as sub! #ArtetaOut

    There’s a small difference. I don’t think you saw it.

    Wow predicting Walcott to score, they are in a bad place.

    Tierney is a huge miss for them - no coincidence their slump has coincided with his absence.

    I've got a feeling that there just might be a few surprises in today's line up.
