PL: Arsenal v Newcastle United | Sunday February 16 | KO: 16:30 GMT | Sky Sports

I actually think Arteta will play some combo of Nelson, Nketiah, Martinelli and Saka against Olympiakos rather than any of them today (maybe Saka at LB). I doubt we'll see Nelson start today for example (though I'd like to see him start). It'll be a top heavy lineup I reckon - Pepe, Laca, Auba, Özil.

Yeah that’s probably more likely. I was just thinking with Tierney still not back he might use Saka as a LB against Olympiakos and then we’d not have enough players up front if he decides to rotate heavily.

Is this the day we finally turn up and destroy a team in the Arsenal manner? Our games against Newcastle are usually exciting- I’m hoping we can really make a statement here.

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Kolasinac
Torreira Xhaka
Pepe Özil Martinelli
Aubameyang

Subs: Martinez, Saka, Holding, Guendouzi, Willock, Nelson, Lacazette.

Let’s start quickly and make it so Newcastle have to chase. Steve Bruce has got Newcastle playing the most negative football in the league. They’ll happily sit and soak up for a 0-0 here. We need to start fast and win handsomely.

Let’s go, the Arsenal are back!!

Have to make sure we watch out for the counter today, Newcastle have some very quick players in the transition.

The head band merchant, Saint-Maximin, plus that lizard looking mother-****er Almiron...have to keep an eye on them.

Would welcome any type of win, but one with a decent margin of victory is long overdue in the league.

I’d like to see Nelson and Pepe either side of Aubameyang. With the Europa games coming Arteta should be looking to rotate Lacazette and Auba, not play them together.

Except Auba can’t hold to save his life.

In my opinion, the match of today it's a tought game, Newcastle has a good counter attack team and if we let to make the counter attack, it's probably that they get the goal.

We should have the ball and touch it, then we can get it and we'll win the game.

I think 2-1 for us but at the end of the game, it prepares your hearts for today!

Hope game goes ahead as I've booked a poshish restaurant near the ground.

Have to start winning games or it will get complicated. I'm going for 1-0 to the Arsenal. Mustafi passes the ball back to Leno from midfield and it's caught by a gust which takes it into the right goal.

Going for a Keebab eh, Mo?

The last time I was in Newcastle the taxi driver eagerly described a football fan who knocked out a police horse in one punch like he was recanting a synopsis of Braveheart.

These people need to be sent back to their dirt mounds in tears having been forced to pay their yearly salary to watch a Martin Nelly brace, the ghosts of Bobby Robson and Jimmy Nail in tears in the centre circle screaming at Jonjo Shelvey like the spam head **** he is.

Anything less that 3-0 would be as disgraceful as a Peter Beardsley hand job.

It's time to go on a serious run from today, which I think we will.

If we can't beat these at home then the league should relegate us.

Bit windy out there

Have to wonder when the wins will come if we don't beat these guys today. Their record against us in London is pitiful as well.

Hope we are 3-0 up late on, so Torreira can absolutely **** that turbo ****, Danny Rose again...tears of joy, when Lucas did it last year!

My favourite match of last season was us desperately clinging on for dear life, in our 1-0 win away at Watford, even though they had 10 men for like 75 minutes or so...with how funny that game was, and how lucky Auba's winner was...I was convinced we were getting top four after it

I was at that game and also really enjoyed it a kind of grinding out the result sadomasochistic type of way. Big relief at the final whistle and lots of laughs about how we made such a meal of being a man up for so long.
