Arsenal are in poor form, but don't kid yourself they have a much stronger squad than we do. We can beat them ofc, but they are the clear favorites.

Defence - Milan
Midfield - Arsenal
Attack - Milan (they will be without Aubameyang and Lacazette)

They have been horrible playing away from home and they are coming to sold out San Siro (hopefully), plus we had 8 days to rest from Lazio game. We got this.

We shouldn't get too cocky.
They will take this match seriously and will want to bounce back starting from this game.

We should play the way we played against Lazio - reliable, safe and compact.

They've rested 3 games in order to make a go in Europa League. Not to be underestimated.

Didn't know that. Yeah that is a major blow for them, but still their mid is so much better than ours. We should try to keep a clean sheet at san siro even if it's a 0-0

0-0 would be a very bad result, because it would be very tough at the Emirates. 1-0 is good, but i would love a 2-0 result. If we win 2-0 at San Siro, i think we can draw 0-0 or 1-1 at Emirates.

Honestly which one of their midfielders can stand up to Kessie???

Xhaka maybe has the physical strength to keep up with kessie but he has half the speed. Other than that Kessie should be bullying their midfield on offense and defense

There's just defense and attack.

Defense - Milan (defensive work from midfielders and wingers incl)
Attack - Arsenal, with or without Auba and Lacazette.

Its not that simple

If they play 433 i would say their attack is better.

Mikhi--Welbeck--Ozil

Calha--Cutrone--Suso


Head to head with those 3 I would say Cutrone is definitely better than Welbeck. But Ozil>Suso and Mikhi>Calha.

When you look at the amount of chances Mikhi and Ozil can create, it's a very dangerous attack, except they don't have a finisher on the pitch.


I think it'll be a good game regardless, not that straight forward for any team . I have high hopes that Gattuso will get our players beyond fired up for this game and we will win.

I feel very positive about this. We'll be at home with a full San Siro. We are in great form with a fantastic new coach, 13 games unbeaten (10 wins), 6 clean sheets in a row, the boys are improving every match and really starting to gel, but they know they still have lots to work on and will be far from complacent... Arsenal are in a bad way, lost 5 of their last 6 matches (the other one was a draw) they seem to have become dysfunctional, the players are not firing on all cylinders, the coach has been underachieving for what seems like a decade but is still stubbornly there...

Forza Milan!

We can win this with another clean sheet!

2 - 0 or 3 - 0 !

I want to see a 2-0 win with a clinical performance.

A disappointing result against Arsenal would be embarrassing, considering the kind of form they have been in lately.

I'm really worried about the lack of attacking options. Hopefully Cutrone will have a good game and they'll leave some space for Suso to operate.

We need to win this. 3-0 or better would be ideal but I’ll be ok with 2-0 Although, 2-0 leaves the game wide open for the return leg. Need at least 3-0

they are in their worst form, their morale is super low, they are pathetic club and never win anything
they have fragile mentality and have to play in san siro
i dont see any reason to not destroy them
atleast 3-0 will be acceptable
