Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund 7:45pm (TV3 and ITV1)

DenMan

Huge game tonight at the Emirates. Arsenal top with two wins from two and Dortmund looking to bounce back from the defeat to Napoli. Team news to follow closer to kick off.

Hoping for an Arsenal win but a draw wouldn't be a bad result!

Game of the week here

klose

Arsenal have some tough fixture list coming up think it will be a draw, dortmund fairly heavy on the injury list at the moment.

aperture_nuig

Really looking forward to this as a neutral (even though I have a soft spot for BVB). Hopefully a very exciting game

Awesomeness

A win tonight will be another huge statement. A draw not a bad result but we are at home so should be looking to win

imtdub

Being at home we should be looking for a win, Also If we want to win the group we must win all our home games.

SweepTheLeg

Gutted that Flamini is injured. But Dortmund seem to have just as many injuries, Including Gündogan. Who's a serious player, even better than Götze I'd say.

FearDark

Will be a huge test for us tonight without Flamini. Toughest game of the season so far. I'm going to go for a 1-1 draw.

Ardennes1944

Hopefully Ramsey and Arteta can cover us, cant see why not

tayto lover

2 -- 1 to the Gunners if they start like they did against Napoli.
Giroud for first goal.

Anyone

I'll miss this game due to work, but hopefully I'll catch the highlights on pornhub later.

I guess, it will be a draw...

Borussia never lost against any English team, since they invented the Champions League, afaik...but all the injuries, an it's away match, so I'll be happy with a draw.

They lost against Arsenal a couple of years ago?

Was that in the Westfalenstadion? Maybe they meant matches away from home on Radio 91.2?

This is probably my game of the night. Milan v Barca is also huge though.

Could be a bit of a non contest unless milans defence has a serious upturn in performance all of a sudden.

Moneymaker

Looking forward to this. Dortmund have been brilliant at times this season, but also woeful at times. I wonder which Dortmund will turn up?

No Flamini could hurt Arsenal but at worst they'll get a draw and likely win imo.

This game the far more significant of the two tbh, both Milan and Barca will qualify handy enough regardless of tonights result so its a much ado about nothing really, whereas in this group whoever looses tonight will have Napoli to contend with.

Alfred Borden

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey; Wilshere, Ozil, Rosicky; Giroud. Cazorla on the bench.

billy2012

Really looking forward to this game!!

extra gravy

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Ozil, Giroud

BVB: Weidenfeller, Großkreutz, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer, Bender, Sahin, Blaszczykowski, Mkhitaryan, Reus, Lewandowski

Pepe LeFrits

Impressive looking team from BVB

tayto lover

Rosicky in for Cazorla. Should work as Cazorla gave away a lot of balls on Sat but was still influential in Jack's goal. Good bench.

Goetze and Gundogan have completely different styles and positions so I don't know how you can compare much less say one is better than the other.

Very.

We arguably have the stronger bench however.

Once we win one of the two BVB games I don't mind.

Thinking the abuse the arsenal fans gave sahin in anfield last season might come back to bite us tonight!

klose

Dortmund fans rocking it early on

K4t

Swap Van Persie for Giroud and there would not be a better front 4 in Europe than Wilshire, Ozil, Ramsay and RVP. Still mouth watering tbh.

3000 or so BVB supporters over there, we just like travelling to England

Few others that are better but yeah its a pretty formidable front line

Itv or TV3 . Which is the lesser of the 2 evils?

GLaDOS

Group games tend to be a bit on the cagey side, hoping this one lives up to the billing.

cson

Cuntish, thought Reus was out.

Which one doesn't have Trevor Welch. Easy choice IMO

Saying Fergie shouldn't disrespect the players that brought him so much success

Forgot about HD! Its strange not to be watching it on a crappy stream!

Rayne Wooney

Reus is a machine, one of my favourite players to watch, as is Ozil.

This game should be great.
