Moyes updates for Gunners match this afternoon

|

David Moyes will hold his virtual pre-Arsenal press conference on Zoom at 1.30pm from Rush Green this afternoon (Fri).

Given the manager’s reluctance to do so we would be surprised were too many injury questions to get definitive answers with possible doubts still surrounding Pablo FornalsĀ  although Ryan Fredericks is expected to be available again.

Whether the manager gives any indication of his thinking ahead of a game which is hugely important for us remaining in the top five.

Of those clubs around us Everton and Chelsea are involved in FA Cup games this weekend which gives us the opportunity of joining the Blues on points and drawing five points clear of The Toffees.

Tottenham – three points behind us – visit Villa- and could stage a big reaction to their shocking departure from the Europa League last night.

Neither of the longer term absentees – Arthur Masuaku or Angeleo Ogbonna are expected to figure against 10th placed Arsenal as the boys look for a maximum.
