Nice to see Under get a run out....

 

[Skitzo]

Matching their system then

 

[Miles Away]

Arsenal put out a pretty strong side.

Nice. Happy to see no first teamers.

 

[Payne74]

Apart from Maddison

 

[Brown Nose]

Looks like both teams are playing 3-4-3

Ward
Amartey Morgan Fuchs
Albrighton D-Hall Choudhury Thomas
Gray Iheanacho Maddison

Arsenal:

Leno
Holding Luiz Kolasinac
A-Niles Elneny Willock Saka
Pepe Nketiah Nelson

If I was picking an eleven from these two sides, I'd only have Maddison for Nelson. The rest are all Arsenal.

It's a really good illustration of why our squad depth isn't good enough. We cannot rest half a dozen players and be competitive. Our back up options are fecking awful.

 

[Graz]

Looks like our normal formation to me, I think Fuchs will be playing CB and Amartey right back.

Right line-up I think. Pleased to see Vardy not even on the bench and none of our normal starting XI playing, other than Maddison for fitness

 

[Graz]

Nice to see Under get a run out....

Don't think international clearance has come through yet, usually takes about a week.

 

[pork pie fox]

I suspect Maddison will be getting 60 mins or so, just for fitness.

 

[Graz]

We need to sell some players.

Imagine this is shop window for a few - Gray, Hamza and Amartey in particular.

We will lose this you'd think

Who’s A-Niles?

 

[M17TT C]

Ainsley Maitland Niles seems fairly obvious...

 

[Blue Maniac]

Ainsley Maitland Niles seems fairly obvious...

M-Niles?

 

[sparky79]

yeah i imagine Amartey, Gray, Choudhury, even Iheanacho will be fully at it tonight. Could be prem moves in it for them. Fulham rumoured in for Amartey and several looking at Gray and Choudhury

 

[Brown Nose]

BNs two anytime goalscorer bets in a feeble attempt to make him watch this game:

Luiz 12/1
Thomas 17/1
