Minute-by-minute report: Can Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the table when they visit west London? Join John Brewin
in that on-pitch chummy thing they often do, with Jamie Redknapp among the quizmasters.
We don’t change many things for Arsenal. We know they will do lots of things we don’t like in the way they can attack but we are ready to be strong and want to express ourselves when we get the ball. We played well against them in the first half of the season, our organisation was really good. We were very muich in our own half and we expect strong pressure on the ball today. They like to press high and we need to be ready for that. We want to play in behind but we can’t always do that and we need to mix it up.
The players know how we work, we train it all week. Our quality on the ball is important. The player who replaces Palhinha is a different profile. Our style won’t change. The reaction of Joao in those moments is a big thing, he wins the ball quicker than other players but we hope that Lukic can play well.
We are going to try and beat Arsenal. We have shown the fans that we are ready to face any team at the Cottage and we need their support today.
