[Miles Away]

City: Schwarzer, Simpson, Huth, Morgan (c), Upson, Konchesky, Mahrez, Cambiasso, James, Schlupp, Kramarić

5-4-1 and of course he drops Wasil.

Hamer, Drinkwater, King, Albrighton, Ulloa, Wasilewski, Nugent

Vardy drops out of the 18. De Laet and Hammond too.

This'll be interesting.

Looks like complete panic.

No way does Wasil deserve to be dropped.

Would have preferred a deep midfielder to another centre half

How has Morgan kept his place? Is Wasilewski injured?

Arsenal XI: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Rosicky, Walcott, Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez

Car. Back seat. Toilet.

He may play Upson as such?

Remarkable isn't it?

For me, they've both been slow lately and Morgan is the captain. I wouldn't have been bothered which one made way.

 

[dpjfox]

looks like a defensive team to sit back, fearing worse

Me too.

Three central defenders would make sense if we were playing 3-5-2, with three central midfielders and Schlupp and Simpson playing as wing backs. But not as a 5-4-1, assuming that's what the formation will be. Maybe Morgan's playing up front...

But Morgan looks like he panics every time the ball goes near him at the moment, constantly making mistakes and giving the ball away.

 

[FryattFox]

Walcott versus Upson. :icon_eek:

 

[Feriol]

Any recommended streams?

 

[Feriol]

Maybe Schlupp up front with Mahrez behind the strikers?

 

[City Fan]

Clearly playing for a draw.

I can't imagine what the average age of that back 6 would be...

 

[Miles Away]

Our midfield is going to get absolutely ripped to pieces while two central defenders will have nobody to mark.

This is the work of a madman.

 

[camberwell fox]

That looks like a panic selection to me.
