Agree- both @StanSP and @urban.spaceman letting the team down (again)

I was on a video call

Nacho behind vardy, 4231 - is my guess

Hope so

[StanSP]

Will do their team instead.

No Aubameyang is a big surprise...

[Nicolo Barella]

Barnes is going to absolutely molest Cedric.

SFE on a bad line then?

A winning one...

 

[Corky]

The formation offers flexibility as it could be 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Iheanacho switching around depending on the situation.

 

I'd imagine he'll get this and the next three league games.

The same as usual. 4231. Back 4 of Thomas Cags Evans Castagne 

Ndidi and Youri

Barnes Ian Riccy

Vardy

This team doesn't fill me with fear. But we'll need to be on our game.

[Swarles Barkley]

The day Vardy rediscovers his form 🤞🏽 

[RowlattsFox]

No doubt Willian will turn up for the first time in an arsenal shirt.

Poor excuse! Just cos our lads didn't turn up on Thursday doesn't mean you can't turn up today 😆

[Nick]

Four four ******** two!

Yes and Pepe will probably show that he is a pro footballer and not a pub player

[dynamark]

Would it be unreasonable to suggest that Arsenal may be putting their european chances first and giving up on league position for the time being

I'm here now  

[FoxesWalk]

You’d fancy us to win the midfield battle here, bit more optimistic after seeing the team sheets.... 

 

but usually when I like the XI it’s a bad sign 

[Cameron Davidson]

The scenes when he prefers a right back as a winger instead of the winger he had in on loan. What do you think the chances of buying are?

If Youri and Wilf are on game, they should control the middle. Barnes vs Cedric will be a big battle. Vardy on Luiz too. 

[st albans fox]

Their bench is stronger than their starting line up!

 

i wonder if arteta is planning on keeping it tight until we begin to run out of steam and then introduce auba/sakha/odegard 

[Blue Ed]

Actually excited by this line up. Nacho as a number 10 pivot if he can move the ball quickly. That's the problem, will he spot the runs the front three are making quick enough or will he slow the game down.

[Guest Fktf]

Fancy a xhaka 2 yellows for constantly tripping our wingers as we break

That's the team I predicted! Happy with that, probably about the best we can piece together. Go on Kel!!

To be fair, there wasn't a lot of other ways to go.

[Lesta2014]

Dare say if nacho had started in this role Thursday we would have progressed.
