18 years since we last played Arsenal in the Charity/Community Shield. That day we lost 1-0 to a second half Gilberto Silva goal. Starting XI that day:
Dudek, Traore, Henchoz, Hyypia, Riise, Xavier, Gerrard, Hamann, Diouf, Owen and Heskey.
Curious who will start tomorrow. Usual suspects likely missing so expect a strong line-up:
Alisson, Milner, Gomez, VVD patched up, Robbo, Gini, Fab, Naby, Mane, Bobby and Mo is my prediction.
As our last encounter I think this can go either way. Possession wise we’ll boss Arsenal but we’re in early Xmas mode atm and Arsenal have some players than can certainly benefit from our benevolence as in our last meeting.
I’m going for 1-1 and some buggar to win it on penalties. About 1.25 million to each team for competing which blows the whole charity/helping other teams out of the window really.
If you fancy a flutter:
Arsenal – 4/1
Draw – 16/5
Liverpool – 4/6
