Garrido missing, presumably Olsson is now preferred, with only Whittaker for cover at LB, unless there''s a real jig involving Bennett. It seems that CH is keeping faith with the team who played so well against Chelsea.

 

It''s hard on Redmond, after how well he has played, but I suppose a fit Pilkington just edges it all-round - shooting, heading defending.

It''s his crossing that I''d include him for. 
With Redmond on the left and Snodgrass on the right both players are cutting in. 
When Pilkington is fit it is Redmond fighting Snodgrass for a starting place in my opinion, because we don''t create enough chances with Redmond on the left and Snodgrass on the right.
We look a much better team with Pilkington in it, and he is our only genuine two footed winger - he''s class really.

Big day for Hooper then. Hope the midfield give him the service and support he will need.

Their bench really doesn''t look that good... Two players that would have any chance of getting anywhere near a top 6 first team...

Anyway, Hooper to score today?

Arsenal have had about 10 corners in the first 10 minutes. This could be a long afternoon ..........

We seem to be treating it like a training ground session.  A great chance for Pilkngton to stick it into the box just now, plenty of space, and he plays a misplaced pass.  We need a bit of that ''bravo win or die attitude'', which we can hear from the fans. OTBC

Nicely worked goal on the edge of the area. But there were no challenges or tackles going in. Far too easy for Arsenal to walk up to the edge of our penalty area.
