Worth a quick read...

Premier League: Brighton & Hove Albion 2 - 4 Arsenal | Saturday 31st, December | KO: 17:30 GMT | Sky Sports

Must win game. Let's be honest, they're a far better side than West Ham. Tactically, they're one of the best team in league. They contract the space on pitch and force you to play on their terms and look to impose their game on you. But we're a much different team to the side that lost to them...

Good read, but I disagree it's a 'must win' game for them. Clearly isn't- from an objective POV a point at the Amex would be a decent result for them (and a great one for us), and they remain top whatever happens. 'Must win' is thrown around far too often thesedays

Yeh, interesting to find out that if Welbeck is out for any length of time we'll be reegated! Tossers!

Best thing about this squad for the last few years is yes we miss some players we sell but it doesn’t make that big a dent. Even with Biss, we’ve been fine. Same with White & sideshow Bob. Didn’t realise Pervs was better than sideshow going forward but I’m sure now he is 👍😀

Free hit tonight - 4 key players out and the excellent win at SCC means we have no pressure. I think we’ll lose fairly comfortably unfortunately given their winning habit and pressure game combined with out absentees - just intend on enjoying it and clapping the lads for a fantastic 2022 :thumbsup:

It is a free hit. Albion are weakened. I'd be happy for us staying the game. As a neutral, I'm going 2-0 Arsenal. But living in hope.

No Moises, Mac, Webster or Wellbeck and we are against the leaders.

Can‘t quite understand the optimism for a win - in my view a draw would be a cracking result.

Beginning to think I am in fact in the twilight of a brutal acid trip from 1987, stirring, dry-mouthed, following a 1-0 defeat at Darlington. And it’s raining of course.….

Definitely a free hit. I still don't think they'll win the title this season or come all that close as City are on another level, but they've come on massively this season- their board deserve credit for sticking with Arteta.

Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, I assume the line-up will be:

Sanchez

March
Dunk
Veltman
Colwill
Estupiñan

Gilmour
Lallana
Groß

Trossard
Mitoma

There’s some doubt about Lallana, as he injured himself celebrating Solly’s goal on Monday, but he’s been training I think so fingers crossed.

In my heart of hearts, I can’t see us getting anything from this one, but you never know.
I am recovering from wretched Covid, having finally succumbed to the ruddy thing over Christmas and I shall be cosied up on the sofa with the log burner on, fearing the worst, but hoping for the best.
