Guess the rumour about Can's leg was no rumour


But it is about as strong a team as we can field after injuries and fitness issues.

[danperkins]

Very attacking, not sure how much protection the defence are going to have but we'll be dangerous on the counter.

[Fosterbloke]

Subs: Manninger, Can, Origi, Matip, Stewart, Grujic, Alexander-Arnold.

Poor Markovic

[Gibbo]

Put my negativity hat on for a second.

Not the biggest fan of the thought of Wijnaldum in a two, think he's better as an attacking midfielder but I think that formation will be a three.

That aside lets gut the *******s.

[Kenneth]

Henderson as our CM midfield anchor man worries me.

[Gibbo]

Origi is in my fantasy team ffs.

Recognised striker and he picks Firmino.

ffs Jurgen you're making my nightmare week worse.

[redmike65]

It's the Barca game formation lads.

4-2-1-3

[danperkins]

This game could potentially be 6 all, very attacking sides & very open.

[labourRed]

If I'm honest I'm a bit disappointed heading into the season with that line up although we've been unlucky with niggling injuries.

[danperkins]

The CM is a lot less solid infront of the CBs as I would like. Blatantly built for counter attacking footie, but so are Arsenal. Hope we aren't exposed through the middle.

[labourRed]

On a more positive note the squad is in much better shape these days. Good bench as we should have all season, first eleven though is hardly a step change from last season.

[Muddled]

Arsenal - Cech; Bellerin, Holding, Chambers, Monreal; Elneny, Coquelin; Walcott, Ramsey, Iwobi; Sanchez.

That's a piss poor team with the odd fleck of quality.

I'm feeling a 4-1 romp.
