Apologies if there's one already started, please delete/merge this as appropriate.
Looking forward to seeing how we go on against a top side who seem to have found a new spirit this season, but still have a lot to prove.
Who knows what will happen, but here's hoping...
UTT...

It’s not tricky at all.....best team available plays. It’s like the fa cup - best team plays ...it’s that simple. Players are just as likely to get injured in training and you never know when a surprise result might just happen........remember city away, Chelsea away, Utd at home last season!

Got a funny feeling we'll get something on Sat. They've had two big games, Spurs and Man U tonight, might be a case of after the Lord Mayor's show and catch them a bit flat. Then again ...

Has this game sold out? Always fancy going at the last minute.

Despite the results and the currently dud strikeforce, we're playing some decent stuff just now, I'm of the same opinion...

We're gonna end their unbeaten run, Laurence Of Breast to shin one in, deep into injury time.

Should ring the changes for this. Give plan B an outing. Need to practice it.

I'm not sure that will be the case at Bristol but Saturday is a must start for our best available XI and if we are out of sight early then I would sub our more important players to save them from bookings injuries late. Williams in for Billing - a shame for Sabiri as he may have got the nod had he not injured his shoulder.

Taking my son for his first Town game. He’s six. I’ve warned him that he might see some goals, but not necessarily in the right net.
Strangely confident though. We’re due a good result. Lolo has scored half his Town goals against the bigger sides.

I suspect Arsenal will win - they have too much quality up front - but I think we will make it much closer than alot of people will expect. Arsenal are in good form, but we've competed well in most games against the top six this season. No reason to think we can't give a good account of ourselves again.

Not many people will be expecting us to get anything from this game and I think that Wagner should try something different from the likely scenario of Williams in for Billing.Pritchard in an attacking midfielder role with Mbenza and Kachunga up front.Couldn't be any worse than Laurent is at present.

I shave a feeling with the stars aligning that we might be able to get something.
I know I am an enteral optimist before a game but we have a chance for the following reasons:
1. We totally outplsyed and dominated a Wolves side which in turn gave Arsenal lots of problems at home.
2. We dominated a Bournemouth team in open play who also gave Arsenal a good game.
3. Can't help but think the arsenal players will underestimate Town, even if their manager doesn't.
4. They have been on a long unbeaten run and all runs come to an end, so why not Town?
5. Huddersfield always have the ability to cause an upset.
6. We have a very solid system/formation which is getting the best out of our core players.
7. Danny Williams is due a blinder!
8. Lolo or any stiker has to score at somepoint.
We can cause a shock on Saturday.
EDIT: Additional. Michael chuffing Oliver is not reffing the game.

Arsenal look a very good team this season.
Can't see anything but a comfortable win for them.

Well, we'll have had an extra day's rest over them before Saturday. And they were involved in a bruising encounter at Old Trafford yesterday. The question is can we make that count? Would it be wise to try and take the game to them? Possession-wise, Bournemouth got a bit of a shock - is it reasonable to think we can do that to an Arsenal, whose players might just be a little more tired than normal?
I'd say have a go and try and shock them - we won't do any worse than the 0-5 of last season.

We have to be more street wise especially against the top sides, don’t get fucking hammered. Goal difference will be crucial.

We have to be more street wise especially against the top sides, don’t get fucking hammered. Goal difference will be crucial. Very good point. At one stage last season, it looked like the hammerings would send us down on goal difference. This season there are currently two worse off and two the same. We have to give it a go. Last season I flew in from France early, went on the ale, booked a hotel ready to fly out early the next day and as I entered the stadium the first words I heard announced were “Martin Cranie” followed shortly by “Collin Quaner” and we went 1-0 down after a minute. Game over, cheers Dave!
