Not looking forward to this at all I reckon Arsenal will murder us at the Emirates and expose our fragilities another 3-0 (-6)

Three straight wins to three straight London derby defeats .

Our season will start properly after this game and I predict we end the season very strong on the front foot...based on the players within our squad we do have some very good players....but for mentality

Sanchez usually does well against Aubameyang, think we win or draw that one. Last year Tierney destroyed Doherty on our right side, won't happen with Tanganga or Emerson.

I have tho opposite opinion to the one you have expressed. 0-2 spurs win, season up and running again.

Chelsea are a much, much better team than us. Up there as one of the best in the world, and with a world-class manager to boot.

Arsenal, frankly, are not.

The crucial thing here will be confidence and mentality. We've had a setback, but our league record is still strong - 9 from 5 with two of the six hardest games played already in my opinion. If we stay sensible and keep our heads, we'll be fine. COYS.

Chelsea are a different kettle of fish than Arsenal.

If we put out a strong balanced side , we should beat the gunners.

Apols if ive gone WAY too early with this but id like to see the following line-up for Sunday:-

Hugo
Tanganga Romero Dier Reggie
PEH
Bergweijn Ndombele Dele Sonny
Kane

Depends on what happens v Wolves on Wednesday. If we come through unscathed I would start the same XI, maybe one of Lucas or Stevie if they're back but I don't know the extent of their injuries. Arsenal are nowhere near as resolute and able to change things like Chelsea. I've seen enough of them this season already to know if you go at them, they'll breakdown. They got lucky v Norwich and Burnley. They may only be up for it due to it being at the Emirates. Start like we did start yesterday and they could be blown away. However, I can just as likely see us being blown away. Could be crazy either way. Probably score draw.

Being better doesn't always make the greatest of differences in this fixture. We've been the better side for years and we've only won once in the Carabao Cup there since the Bale, VDV, Kaboul game haven't we? My concern is mentality and mindset going into it. We don't really have much going for us in an attacking sense and it's really hard to see us scoring multiple goals (or even one?) with the way we are. We're certainly not clicking going forward, especially with Kane's form and I think that will be our downfall, unless we're lethal on the counter.

Actually quite confident about this one. We should beat them and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get a result.

 

[Monkey boy]

Nuno should be under no illusion as to just how big this game is in terms of his future. Lose this and he's bang in trouble.

 

[Delboy75]

Huge for both of us could define our league seasons. Win for us hopefully puts us back on track. 12pts from 6 games is actually top 4 return of 2pts a game. A loss and we are really in the mud. Win for them and they have real momentum. A loss for them could leave them 16th and back in the mud. Begrudgingly right now I’d probably take a draw with an encouraging performance.

Lloris
Tanganga Romero Dier Regi
PEH Skipp
Lucas Ndombele Son
Kane

1-0 Arsenal, both teams aren't creating much but they will do enough to win the game being at Home.

We go with the starting XI from yesterday and play at the same intensity as the first half we’ll be two up at the break.

 

[Aphex]

Nuno can't really afford to lose this one. The pressure will start to build massively.

People will harp on about he needs time, well no you don't get time in the PL. Elite managers don't get time, why should Nuno who shouldn't have got the job in the first place.

Back to back defeats against London rivals would be a disaster.

A draw would be acceptable in the grand scheme of things but it needs to be a positive performance.

 

[YB123]

We go with the starting XI from yesterday and play at the same intensity as the first half we’ll be two up at the break.

And then because we are so unfit it will finish 2-2

 

[jolsnogross]

Bin off the midweek cup game and get the side from the first 30mins vs Chelsea back on, with Lucas instead of GLC. It's a really big game and the players as much as the manager need to show they have the aggression and ability to turn them over.

If we don't perform, and get beaten, the immediate future looks grim for all involved. Calls for Nuno to be sacked are ridiculously premature, but the accumulation of losses and no attacking threat cant go on too long either.
