Pls. Stats won't matter, nor their form in recent matches.
For all their mediocrity Arsenal have never been embarassed in big matches at home. Anytime you expect them to lose, they'll somehow turn up. Even in the 2010 match when we had four times as many shots as them, they salvaged a draw. There's a reason why Wenger always preaches about mental strength.
Arsenal will do a Chelsea tonight, park the airplane in a deep 4-1-4-1 block with 10 men behind the ball and ride their luck. Watch Mertesacker dominate us since there'll be no space behind him to exploit his turtle speed. Özil and Alexis will somehow have a decent match and destroy us on the break. Giroud will give his best Drogba impression and manhandle Mascherano and Pique, like he already did against Bayern. Watch Koscielny gift us a penalty which Messi will obviously miss and at the same time extend his "never scored vs. Cech" record. He has never scored a non-penalty goal in an away match on English ground either. And speaking of Cech, it's already written in the stars that he'll save countless big chances. And if not, the ball will hit the crossbar anyways, or a last ditch effort will save it from crossing the goalline.
We're so not winning this. Hope we can at least get a draw. But don't get your hopes up.
Either way, Arsenal fans will be unbearable tonight.
