Happy Boxing Day folks. It’s a football-infused one today and wouldn’t you know it, Arsenal have an actual 3pm kick off for a change.
We also have a level of excitement that genuinely hasn’t existed all season, because it’s the first official game of Mikel Arteta’s reign in charge and the possibilities feel endless. That’s because we have absolutely no frame of reference of him as a manager. We all know Arteta the coach, but this is a step up that is massive, so all eyes will be on his decision making and his actions pre-kick off.
Who will he choose to start at Dean Court?
How much change has he been able to affect in the few training sessions he’s had?
What sort of style of an Arsenal team will we see?
There are so many questions that are unanswered...
