Moyes will have a go at this one and I fancy us to win.
I think we'll keep a fairly solid shape first half and size them up, but if we're level I think we'll go for it second half.

well at least we cant complain about injuries to attacking players with only Antonio out.
But the reality is that we are short of defensive players so I wouldn't be surprised if Fernandes starts, although i'm suspecting Lanzini will replace Joao Mario. However much you want us to attack and moyes to go for it, whoever arsenal play in their line up they can still beat us.
Carroll wont start as he isn't fully fit yet

Hart
Zabaleta, rice, ogbonna, cresswell (or evra) masuaku
lanzini noble kouyate fernandes
Arnautovic

subs:
Adrian, Hernandez, Carroll, Mario, Evra, Cullen, Hugill

So Arsene's announced he's stepping down at season's end. Is that a positive or negative for Sunday? Ensures it'll get more coverage I suppose. P. s. Be careful what you wish for Gooners.

He needed to announce it when he could be sure of getting the right result and then a great reception and show of gratitude from the fans.

There was only one fixture that he could be sure that could happen. :D

Huge negative for us. Telling you will be a thrashing now.

Hope to see a really boring 0-0 side show to loads of Wenger coverage.

Fear that it will be 3-0 to them though.

Just what I was wondering. Could go either way.

If we’re singing “Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay” at around 3:15pm on Sunday, we’ll know we’ve had a good day. :tune:

I think he will set up for a point and then go even more defensive last 20 minutes if we are still level.

I had hopes for a positive result, but now Wenger has announced he's leaving, I can see Arsenal and their fans wanting to give him a good send off and being really up for this one. I think we'll lose.

Hoping Arsenal's minds are else where....Madrid game & new manager and we catch them on an off day similar to opening day of the season couple of years ago.

1-0 WH win. Late Carroll goal from the bench.

Arsenal will be up for this because they would love to send us down. Moyes will settle for a draw.

I think the timing of this couldn't be worse for us. It will change the whole atmosphere of the place.

I doubt its going to make much difference, the atmosphere will be ***** as usual.
Wenger has already said this match isnt a priority and any tributes will surely be saved for the last home game.

Just had an email saying no alcohol in the ground for away fans again.
B******s.

You think their players care or even know that much about us?
