    Brilliant! Wonder if any of them are fit enough to be in the starting eleven tonight?

    London has been pelted with storms and rain today,still going now,so I don't think he will risk them on a slippery pitch.

    Yeah, that wouldn't be smart – unless they're very certain about their fitness. Expect we'll see several youngsters + Özil and some of the usual defenders. Something like this perhaps:

    Martínez
    Chambers - Luiz/Sokratis - Mustafi - Tierney (if fit)
    Torreira - Willock
    Reiss Nelson - Özil - Smith Rowe
    Martinelli

    Edit: Looks like I was close to spot on! Didn't know Holding was fit enough to start.

    Well Tierney and Holding plays which is a worry in these conditions and the match is delayed until 8pm due to travel probs for fans (which I had getting home from work as well !!!!!)

    Fingers crossed they make it through the match without any issues!

    Shame about the delay, but that happens.

    Bellerín on to assist Wlliock's goal too! Almost a bit emotional seeing those two back on the pitch again! Arsenal are definitely much better with them (on the pitch and in the squad).

    Edit: Nelson makes it four! Martinelli, Willock, Holding and Nelson with the goals; couldn't be better.

    Captain Holding scores and Kieran plays,youngsters score again and Bellerin assists ,and it seems Callum has played a blinder again and I saw his assist as well his loan time at Fulham has changed him totally AND Martinelli’s second goal is a wonder strike ,bring on the kids !!!!!!

    AND......Colchester knock out the Hotsperm on penalties 4-3 !!!

    Looks like further good news for us Gooners.
    It appears Pogba wont be used against us on Monday,another niggling injury apparantly,and Martial and Radford are definitely out.

    Chelsea I think is still a bit "on" or "off" – meaning that they're capable of good performances, but can also do the complete opposite. It will be an open game I think.

    Apparently… Won't be surprised to see him all fit by Monday, scoring a brace to see United win the game. Arsenal will probably concede a penalty or two (again)…

    Edit: hopefully Alan Davies is at work; maybe Arsenal can get something from the game, then :))

    Graham Potter did incredible work at Östersund – well worth a read if you don't know the story. It will be very interesting to see what he can do with this Brighton side.

    Not great my friend. I am hoping now we have another break, this will allow the health of the squad to quickly improve!!! Certainly a weekend to forget!!!
