Country: England
Firstly, going back to what I know best and putting weird photoshop club logos in hope it bring us luck. I also wish everyone a very happy New Year.
Feels really similar match thread to the Bournemouth game, I felt we saw some vast improvements vs Chelsea compared to other games this season, dominated the first half and guys like Özil, Ainsley, Torreira and Luiz all look a lot better than what we have seen. However we came away with another loss, to a London rival in such typical Arsenal style.
Unfortunately United have hit some form this season with wins recently against Sp**s and City, however, mistakes by Newcastle and Burnley meant they picked up valuable 6pts without looking very convincing. They also lost against Watford who had won 1 game all season. They're unpredictable to say the least.
I'm worried about our fitness levels, we've put in a tremendous amount of effort in the last two matches having done f*ck all in games before under Unai so I'm sure the boys are feeling it.
I have no idea who's back from injury and what's happening with Granit, but for the team I'd go Leno, AMN, Sokratis, Luiz, Saka, Torreira, Xhaka, Özil, Auba, Nelson and Lacazette.
Hopefully guys like Holding, Ceballos, Bellerin and Martinelli can make the bench.
I'll be honest though, I can see it going very much like the Chelsea game, we could dominate early and go ahead but with guys like Pogba feeding Rashford and Martial on the break we'll eventually get caught on the break. We'll need 2/3 in the first half to get near a win I think.
I f*cking hate United.
2-2 draw.
