As of this posting, there are just eight days before Arsenal’s most crucial match of the season, a trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City.
However, Mikel Arteta and his team have business to take care of on Friday when the Gunners host the Saints of Southampton.
Arsenal needs to rebound with a very strong performance following back-to-back draws v Liverpool and West Ham United.
Points can not be dropped again the Saints, and they need to clearly be reminded of the 1-1 draw on October 23rd at St. James Park. Southampton is currently fighting for Premier League survival, so they need the points as well. Currently in last place on the Premier League table, the Saints are trying to claw themselves back into contention for next season’s top flight. Arsenal can not take this match with a grain of salt, they need a full blown, balls to the wall performance that will not only inspire the club but the Gunners supporters as well.
Yes, April 26th will be here before we know it, but let’s make sure we secure the three points on Friday and head into the Etihad with a seven point advantage over the Sky Blues. Remember, Pep and his lads have a FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, so Man City will enter next week’s match v Arsenal with two games in hand.
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
Cheers.
