Carabao Cup Quarter-Final: Arsenal v Man City | Tuesday, December 22 | KO: 20:00 GMT | Sky Sports

What I don't understand: is this not more or less the same arsenal team that beat manchester city and liverpool and chelsea?

If anything it should be better with the addition of Gabriel and Partey

Watch Pep gift this one to Mik

 

[Rex Stone]

Pep said he’ll rest De Bruyne so can see us grinding one out against their B team.

Cue twenty articles about Mikel’s tactical masterclass.

Question :

Which would you rather? Win this cup and get relegated in the league, or lose out on this cup and stay up in the league?

 

[Mo Britain]

No brainer.

I'd rather end up 17th and win the cup than 10th and not win it, but relegation would mean the end of one of the proudest records we have and what should be the easiest to maintain for ever, no one can ever equal it.

Silly question. Don't think I'd trade any cup win incl. the Champions League against being relegated. Being relegated is out of the question. Not only would that break our record of years in the top flight but it could make the club unravel big time like e.g. Leeds.

I was just trolling in the hope to brighten up someone's day with laughter and joy!

Hopefully, we win the cup, this is the cup we really need to get that winning feeling again!

 

[bonzka]

Start Smith-Rowe. If he delivers get him in a three man midfield in the Prem.

 

[samshere]

Entering europa mean all these bums will want to stay missing out Europe mean less game time and forcing us to trim the wagebill

The way things are going we'll need a second way into the CL next year as well. And we also need the extra income. Hope we win the League cup so that we don't have any pressure to win the FA cup which again will give us lesser important matches in the business end of the season.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Start Saliba, Martinelli, Smith Rowe, Nelson and Balogun. Then I’ll watch.

 

[krackpot]

Can we hope for an Özil appearance?

You come across a little bonkers here. Hope you’re ok.

I deserve to be a trusted status member, or even Elite member because I'm top5 most likeable and contributor to this forum. I have done nothing wrong but being a great servant of Arsenal and Arsenal-mania.

Okwonkwo
AMN - Saliba - Gabriel - Tierney
ESR - Willock - Saka
Pepe - Balogun - Martinelli​

Let the revolution start

 

[Riou]

Funniest part of this match is, the more of our youngsters we play, the better chance we have of winning...but Arteta will probably panic after losing so much and play the seniors, which will only hinder us

 

[RunTheTrap]

Balogun
Auba-ESR-Nelson
Azeez-Willock
Kola-Luiz-Holding-Bellerin
Leno

Please Arteta, no Lacazette, no Nketiah, no Cellabos, no Elneny, no Tierney and no AMN.

Our match against Brighton on 29th December will be a 6 pointer. Lose that and we’re really ****ed.

Weird feeling about this one. A small part of me wants city to go through as I think they are the one team that can definitely stop those lot from down the road winning this.

It's already an awful season for Arsenal fans but to see kane lift a trophy over his head might actually finish me off.
