INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

So again, I think maybe Daku of the front seven, sorry, not front seven, the front five or six, Daku is the only one that's probably up in the air this weekend, isn't it?

INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

Like it's him or...

I don't even know who would come in there really, but... Foden or Scherke quite wide.

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

Scherke will probably play 10, Semeny will play and Roy Holland will play and then it'll be Bernardo and Rodri behind him.

And is Nico O'Reilly fit?

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

Presumably he is fit.

INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

Nico O'Reilly playing left-back, I'd imagine.

INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

He's done it once, yeah.

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

It was never done before.

INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

United didn't do it in the Ferguson era, thanks to Aston Villa in 94, Wembley, Ferguson's favourite team.

But it was one of those things that because the European, the United 99 treble had become such a thing that it had

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

City did it almost without anybody noticing I think actually this year it could be a bigger deal because nobody thinks of this City as the dominant that was right in the middle of their four in a row team everyone expected them to win every competition it was all about whether they could win the Champions League or not very different City team now you win three trophies this season yeah you're coming to the end of the cycle of the team like Bernardo Silva obviously is on his way we

INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

City only had like 30 something percent possession like when these teams met earlier in the season I'm pretty sure it was 32.8 percent possession and they were very keen just to let Arsenal come on to them and try and have Haaland running behind just a reminder on that game as well so that was an Arsenal team that was in very very good form and a City team that was in very bad form and everybody was very critical of Arsenal's performance that day because again it felt like they didn't really go for it now they did have to in the end because City went ahead and Arsenal rescued the game and then

I don't know, kind of went back into their shell a little bit.

And there is just this feeling, and obviously that was the charge put at them the season before by Manchester City, was that they were happy enough to come and take the draw.

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

And we all know what happened after that.

So...

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

again, conservatism, it will only get you so far, you know, but it might be enough this year.

Who knows?

OTB Football
INSIDE THE ODDS | β€˜A draw here is a pretty good result for Arsenal!’ | Closing the gap at the top of the table

Again, just looking at this game then as well, I think Arsenal will certainly try to strangle it.
