I like to think we're much better prepared for whomever we might face there.

No need to get ahead of ourselves. Dispatching Lens comes first.

There's a reason the bookies made us 4th favourite to win the thing.

I think I’ll skip this. Real Madrid vs Napoli is the proper tie to watch with Jude back.

The proper tie to watch is always Arsenal when Arsenal are playing.

Although I can't see Arteta play the B team (I would) if we win this game and the group he will be able to rest key players in advance of the Brighton and Liverpool games. So this needs to be won - a draw might win us the group but can't risk it.

Lens will be confident of beating Sevilla at home so this is a free hit for them. They are having a decent season but have lost four games, mostly away, so I expect us to win and do the biz.

In terms of personnel Vieira should start to keep him match fit during his suspension. We can't get away from starting Rice here. I think I'd start Trossard up front and bring Jesus on in the second half. I'd start Tomiyasu on the left and leave Zinchenko fresh to start against Wolves. Might be tempted to give Kiwior a start too and leave Gabriel for Saturday.

If Smith Rowe is back he should get 15/20 minutes. Nelson also needs 20/30 minutes, he's going backwards from not playing. Jorginho or Elneny for Rice if the game is won early.

 

[Beany]

Back in Tenerife from tomorrow for a week for some delayed winter sun, so missing this and the wolves game. Will check in from the hotel bar, frosty glass in hand…

Expecting two wins.

Napoli are not the same this year though.

Napoli are not the same this year though.

True but I’d rather watch some expressive football than sit through another boring 90 mins. The Brentford game was truly one of the worst games of football I’ve watched in a long time.

Tbf we've been more fun to watch in the CL.

 

[Sebastes]

We had a quite decent international break in terms of playing time so shouldn't be an issue to field a very strong team here as well as vs Wolves. Would start the same team as against Brentford with White in for Zinny if the former is fit.

I feel asleep after 70 mins and missed seeing chicken score the winning goal. Awful game for the spectator.

 

[TheEliteMaster100_]

I want to see Havertz at CF.

Give him a good run of games in that position for the upcoming hectic Christmas schedule.

Manage Jesus minutes until then.

 

[OnlyOne]

Rotate and take risks.

People act like they get a medal if we fans win league. Nothing makes up for sheep shagger football. Seriously when i started watching and decided to back Arsenal, United were huge; despite winning everything their football compared to Arsenal in late 90s was like spamburgers compared to Filet mignon. That is why i never wanted Jose. Even trophies from a fans perspective doesn’t make up for farmerball; not in long run. Where we are not winning league for nearly 20 years; if this is what it takes fine do it

But then he has to win league or cl to make up for the sufferball

People think i am joking on west coast i woke up at 400 am to watch football. By second half of Arsenal match at like 10 am i literally paused took a power nap and fast forwarded a bit of second half

I thought it was rather enthralling personally. The suspense of whether or not we’d manage to break them down eventually and thankfully the goal did come in the end. That’s one of the beauties of football. A 0-0 or 1-0 game can be more exciting than a 5-0.

Naaa..a win here and first is secured
Arteta would still play the first team in the last fixture though

 

[AberGooner]

Comfortable win at home, 3-0.
