what's our prediction for Arsenal v Preston
I get the feeling (rightly or wrongly) that Wenger isn't as focused on the FA cup as perhaps he should be. Few injuries and few rested players could see a B side take on Preston.
You would have thought that the bournemouth 3-3 draw would have shook them up a bit. I don't think the chelsea loss has helped as Wenger probably wants to focus on the PL which he won't win.
Arsenal are a funny team. They never strike me as being that bothered about winning until the other side score. Then it's a mad rush for a draw and tricky for the win.
My feeling is it will be a tough game, and perhaps they'll scrape a win (probably a draw). My head tells me it should be a thrashing, but we all know how these things go don't we.

West Ham are awful, City have put together some good moves for the goals but it's been so incredibly easy for them.
Considering its a 9 man change from the team that started our last game its pretty good. I agree that its not amazing but its pretty good all things considered.

I'd rather we started giving Fosu Mensah some games than Fellaini. If we're not going to try him in the cup then why not send him out on loan?
Wonder who is playing up front out of Rashford and Rooney.

And for like the eleventh time we get the 'Rooney could match the record' story. So embarrassing now
