PL: Arsenal v Liverpool | December 22 19:45 GMT | Sky Sports

[Rain Dance]

Salah to score in the opening 5 minutes and we crumble after that

 

[Kroket]

If we don't ditch 3-4-3 I can see us losing the midfield battle again, hope we revert to a formation with three in midfield.

 

[say yes]

Cech
Koscielny Mustafi Monreal
Bellerin Wilshere Xhaka Kolasinac
Özil Lacazette Sanchez

 

[Mark Tobias]

Cech
Koscielny Mustafi Monreal
Bellerin Wilshere Xhaka Kolasinac
Özil Lacazette Sanchez

Much as I've been disappointed with Xhaka, this is what I hope for.

 

[DanDare]

I hear Liverpool are reasonably impressive going forward this season? Salah certainly has been

 

[Penn_]

We’ve gone about six games now with the back four, hoping we stick with it despite Mustafi’s return.

 

[tap-in]

I want to see us play like we did vs Sp**s. I would go with the same team as @say yes

 

[junglist57]

We're gonna smash the crap out of them, and restore some pride at The Emirates and then we're all going to have a thoroughly spiffing Christmas.

So the fairy tale goes......

 

[<<reed>>]

Our line-up for Liverpool wiil be:
Cech
Bellerin Kos Mus Monreal
Xhaka Wilshere
Iwobi Özil Sanchez
Laca

 

[Jackie_Treehorn]

A buddy who's a Liverpool supporter said Ox is begging to start against us. I just hope he doesn't spring that ruthless end product on us.

 

[yybecause]

Cech
Bellerin Kos Mus Monreal
Xhaka Wilshere
Iwobi Özil Sanchez
Laca

This could happen, probably will.
I came here to say we’re gonna play 3 man defense for sure, but you got me with that one.
If not, my bet was Nacho Musti Lolo with Bellerin and Niles as wingbacks

 

[Aevi]

We absolutely have to win this game; it has massive implications on our league position and subsequently also on our power in the transfer market.

 

[marting]

Im dreading this game, This could be a real bad one for us. If it is, I think this will bring the toxic atmosphere back for the rest of the season, We have been really kind considering the shower of turd we are watching and the results we are getting most weeks.

A Salah and Firmino double hamstring would be lovely...would hurt my fantasy team though.....

I can see us playing like we did against united, open the game up, go at them...Exactly what Liverpool love.

 

[Garrincha]

Got a week to let the thrashing really stew over Christmas as well!

Why the **** cant we play on Boxing Day?

 

[African Flair]

I am already pissed I gonna miss this due to work.

 

[kraphtous]

Maitland-Niles is going to have a hard time against Salah hope the poor lad’s confidence won’t be shattered.

 

[yybecause]

AT least Niles has all the pace and energy to deal with Salah. Doubt egyptain knows much about him, which is a plus

Don’t pressure them too much, let them try build it up as they are not best at it. Force them to make mistakes and then hit them. Strong start is crucial.

 

[Mo Britain]

Emirates not sold out even for a visit from a "big" time. The end is nigh Mr Kronke.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I haven't had a vibe yet, I can't vote yet.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

This is one of those 'must win' matches, no pressure then!
