With international play over for the year, we’re back to Maggie McGarry’s on Saturday. Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in another must-win match for the Gunners, if we are to entertain any title hopes.
Leandro Trossard limped off in during Belgium’s ignominious defeat to Israel, though it is believed he will be available. Ben White is out until at least January, but Saka, Rice, Tomiyasu, and possibly Calafiori are expected back following various knocks.
Arsenal sit in fourth and Liverpool are 9 points clear at the top of the table. No team has ever come back to win the title from this position at this point in the season. But if we Gooners have any shred of hope, we need Arsenal to win some matches, starting Saturday. Then we can all ask Santa for a Liverpool blip that sees them drop some points.
The matches come fast and furious this time of year, with an Arsenal match every 3 days for the next two months. Plenty of time for you to join us at Maggie’s for a match.
The rain is expected to let up Saturday, so hope to see you there! COYG!
Best,
Mark
Bay Area Gooners
