Gutted that Dembelé is out of both of these games and Ali is out against the Spammers. Still think that we have the players to win both of these games though! Eriksen will have to be at his best, especially against the scum. What an important week!!!

agree dembele and ali are big loses, i thought the Dembele injury was going to have a bigger impact than it has done it just shows how well MoPo has got the squad playing and the flexibility of the system that allows for different players with different attributes...

its a massive week, a win at the spammers who have a great home record will be a huge result. beating Arse is never easy but is a 6 pointer with big games against liverpool manu and chelsea still to come our title tilt is anything but easy but this week could set us up for a real charge!!

Dembelé is supposed to be out of both derby games according to multiple sources. Groin injuries are bad juju, they can linger on for ages. Effing hope not though!! Not definitely sure about Alli, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start against Spam.

I thought Poch said Dembele was a maybe for Arsenal?

To be honest I'm just glad he isnt injured long term. I was worried it would be like 4-6 weeks as per previous injuries.
