Goodluck to the lads....

No Ozil today, we will need Xhaka to play a blinder in midifield. I like the fact that El neny is in there next to him.

If Iwobi can display this level of confidence this season then we are on to a good thing and may not miss Carzola that much

Liking what I see so far from Arsenal. Chelsea can't string 3 passes together with the high press

Arsenal need to direct someone to press Cesc as soon as he gets the ball ... he is the lone creative outlet for Chelsea.

Poor Poor tackle by HB ... DESERVED YELLOW

Loving the Xhaka - Elneny partnership in midfield so far...Cocquelin might struggle to find the pitch if this yields results today

It's painful watching Xhaka on the ball .. this guy has the flexibility of a telephone pole and the acceleration of a molue :rotf:
