Hello and how you? Thursday the 7th of January sees the Mighty Cannon host Merseysiders Liverpool FC. KO at the Emirates is at 8.00pm UK time, expected weather is partly cloudy, with temps at 6° (feels like -3 °).
So here we go, a chance to avenge the painful defeat on Merseyside earlier in the season. To come out victorious from this game would be massive for Arsenal, especially in view of the results last night. I expected Liverpool to crank up their game, as a loss will mean them slipping further away from any title aspirations they have.
Missing for the Gunners are Mosquera( ankle), Young Gun Dowman (ankle) and Ricco (awkward), and apparently Kai is still doubtful for this one.
Missing for the Scousers be Salah ( AFCON), Leoni (ACL), Endo (ankle) and Isak (leg). Ekitike is doubtful through muscle injury, but we shall see.
Having watched Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Statto HQ handed over the Belch and Augecheeked stats: The Arsenal have been given a 60.6% chance of winning and the Merseysiders 17.2%.
Next up cup drama for the Arsenal, Portsmouth away in the third round of the FAC and then neighbours Chelsea in the semi-final of the Carabao cup. So COYG!

Huge game and massive opportunity certainly. Should we win it’s an 8 point gap over City. However, even if the worst should happen, we will still be 5 points clear and we have played the champions twice, we can’t lose to them again. My prediction is that no matter what happens tonight, City and Villa will drop more points between now and the end of the season, than we do. I’m the most confident of winning the title as I’ve been since 04/05…………………………oh.
Pedantic George.
