Bricking it, but still feeling positive.. A result is vital, just hope we do ourselves justice and we see a performance comparable to Dortmund rather than Burnley.

Actually even if we play really well and lose, I'll still feel a bit better about everything.. Just want to see us play to our full capacity.
 
After the disappointing defeats in our last 2 matches, we badly need to get back to winning ways. It won't be easy as we face a North London derby against Arsenal. Just a few weeks ago, we were comfortably ahead of Arsenal by 10 points. But we are now under pressure from Arsenal as they are only 4 points behind us now. So, this is a must-win match for us. We do have good record against Arsenal at home in recent years, winning 3 and drawing 1 of our last 4 league matches at home. Hope we will continue that good record by beating Arsenal in this match.

Kane will be our key players in this match. Kane has a great record against Arsenal, scoring 8 goals in 10 matches against them. We badly need him to continue his goal scoring run against Arsenal in this match. We also need others like Eriksen, Son, Lamela and Moura lift their game in this match. Son has been poor since Kane returned. Hope he can find back his goal scoring boot in this match. Lamela has been in poor f orm lately. Hope he will get back his form and help us beat Arsenal. Moura has been too inconsistent this season. He can help us by getting a goal or two if he gets to play.

This match will be won or lost in midfield. Sissoko and Winks need to lift their game to stop Arsenal. We need to control the midfield to have any chance of winning this match. Sissoko has not been in good form in the last 2 matches. Hope he will be at his best against Arsenal. Somehow feel we need to play Wanyama instead of Winks in this match. But Wanyama doesn't looks fully fit nowadays. Maybe Dier can play instead of Winks. For all his hard work, Winks just doesn't give us that bite in midfield like Wanyama or Dier. Regardless of who play in midfield, hope they can help us win this match.

Our defence have not been great this season. We have conceded far too many soft goals this season. We need our defence to be at their best to stop Arsenal. Lloris, Alderweireld and Vertonghen need to avoid any silly mistakes and prevent giving away freekicks near our goal. Also we should look out for tose long range shots. It will help us greatly if we can stop Arsenal scoring in this match.

As they say, form book goes out of the window in any derbies. So, we need to play our best against Arsenal to beat them. No doubt Arsenal will make it hard for us. We need to get an early goal to help us settle down and then go for more goals to kill the game off. Let's hope we will turn up with the right team and mentality to get back our winning form by beating Arsenal.
 
Any team news yet ?

Wish we can have Alli back for this match. Performance in not really important in North London derbies against Arsenal as long as we win. Let's hope we can do enough to get the much needed win against Arsenal to stay in the top 3 race.
 
Nothing but a win will do. We will lose a couple more so we need the buffer. Looking at the team's around us. They will all win this weekend so we need 3 points here. Have to win all our so called home games.
 
I actually don’t want to watch this. But it's a bit like driving past a car crash - you hope no one gets hurt, but you just can’t help looking :-/.

#THFC: Lloris (C), Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Kane

Wanyama and Sissoko. Wow that could be.... Interesting
 
Would have gone with eriksen next to Sissoko. We will have trouble getting the ball forward from those two. Hopefully eriksen steps up and grabs the game and adds that quality. Of eriksen plays well we win.

Surprised to see Auba on bench.
 
Guendooooozy and Shhhhhaka.. Dodgy.

Their defensive setup looks suss too. Mustafi at RB?? Hope Son tears at him from minute one.

We can do this!

Not the most....creative of cms is it?

That position really needs an overhaul in the summer if we're being frank.

Hopefully we see the Wanyama of 2 seasons ago and not the hollow shell of a man we've seen in the past 2 seasons.

Aubameyang most dangerous player on either bench by some distance so will have to be mindful of him.
 
Play like we can. We will win. Continue like we did in the last two games and we will lose. We don't do draws.
Heart says 2-1
Head says 1-2
