SA Gunner: “Maupay will be fired up, along with Toney.

Difficult team this, we need to prevent them looking for those quick counter-attacks. Do that and take our chances and we can make this game safe early.

Tough game, but I think our quality will shine through. Arsenal 2-0 Brentford, and no injuries please.”

Mrs Bergkamp: “It’s another must win isn’t it, but that’s true for all the contenders at the moment. Toney getting in behind is the thing to watch and they’ll probably throw a blanket over the box so we might need a set piece or a penalty. They have powerful runners so I’d like Rice to have a bit of support to help at both ends.”

ptrcopp: “I think Ramsdale will be fine. The whole GK situation has calmed down. He came in last time after a poor run from Raya where there was pressure to do well. There isn’t that pressure this time as we all know Raya starts for the rest of the season.

I’d like to see a more attacking line-up at home. Maybe see ESR or Vieira in midfield with Rice back at DM.

Not too many changes though!”
