No idea who’s available for this.. but let’s try a line-up anyway
[formation=4-2-3-1]
Kepa
White - Mosquera - Saliba - MLS
Norgaard - Rice
Saka - Havertz - Martinelli
Jesus
[/formation]
Wouldn’t be against MLS in midfield. But I think Calafiori won’t start after playing 90 minutes for Italy twice. And Hincapie is out.
Comfortable game. Comfortable win. 3-0
[formation=4-3-3]
Kepa
Timber - Mosquera - Calafiori - Hincapie
Odegaard - Norgaard - MLS
Dowman - Jesus - Trossard
[/formation]
Dowman starting
I like it
Southampton play Wrexham on the Tuesday so are bound to have that somewhat in mind with their lineup.
Southampton 1-1 Arsenal.
Extra time and penalties ![]()
Captain Coward can be useful In games like Saturday.
Martin Ødegaard - Pushing to be back for Southampton
![]()
how is this guy still injured?
Ode ain’t pushing anyone, and if he tries, he’ll injure himself again.
I would be surprised if we see Saka, Rice, Zubi, Saliba/Gabriel, Timber, Trossard feature in this game.
Just rest them for the CL. We have enough depth to get the job done against Southampton.
[formation=4-3-3]
Kepa
White - Gabriel - Calafiori - Hincapie
Odegaard - Norgaard - MLS
Dowman - Viktor - Martinelli
[/formation]
Got to give it to the Hand, the Dowman bit caught me off guard ![]()
“Pushing for Southampton game” = Timber and Ode = will start the FA cup game
Others bar Eze = rested for thr FA cup game and will start Bournemouth game
After scoring a hat trick for Sweden it might be better to have Gyokeres upfront but I’d go with the rest of that team.
Rest a lot and play a strong bench.

Kepa
White - Saliba - Mosquera - Hincapie
Havertz - Norgaard - MLS
Martinelli - Gyokeres - Trossard

We do have a lot of players injured, and I was very worried for a while, but this international break came as a blessing in disguise of us atm.
I also didn’t realise we’re only playing the next PL game a week after this one, and it’s also only Bournemouth at home.
Plenty of time for some players to recover and to have a pretty complete squad before we face Citeh, just no new injuries pls ![]()
Hopefully we’ll rotate here, we’ll need a strong lineup against Sporting

when is the press conference considering we are playing on Saturday ? and how many players are actually out ?
This is beauty of it, no one knows how serious are this “injuries” that had our players come back from international duty, and it makes so much more difficult for the opposition to guess starting lineup.
Press conference is tomorrow but do you really think Arteta will give us any updates regarding player availability?
We’ll have to wait for twitter leaks on Saturday.
