Mavropanos has been out since the summer with a groin injury, which seems rather a long time for such an injury, as I believe he didn't have surgery. I would appreciate fellow Gooners views on this long layoff.
On a different topic, I hope Mustafi and Sokratis are back tonight.

It's going to be very very difficult tonight but the bigger the game the better in my view.
What will the response be to losing our unbeaten run?
Pass this test and the atmosphere around the club will go into hyper space but fail badly and those who didn't want change will be out in full force.

Any game against the spuds is huge, but naysayers will have little to grumble about if we fail to progress in a low priority tournament. Not that I don't want to see us lift it, but its not a season breaker if we lose.

. Do I need to hide? :)

For me tonight is a bonus game, win and it will be fantastic, lose and its the league cup only. The next league game is for me more important that tonight, that is a win only for me. I doubt either will put out their absolute strongest line up, so any result could happen. I want a win but for me Burnley is more important.

It will suddenly become very important for some if we lose two on the trot :-)
The 22 game unbeaten run included 8 low profile cup games against much weaker oppents but those who happy with Dick were also happy to include those games in the positive total and I'm pretty sure that those who aren't so pleased about Dick being around won't be slow to count tonight's game in the negative column should things not go so well.
Personally I'm with you Steve the Burnley game is bigger because it's the league position that tells the true story of your season and just close or far away you are.
