The back 4 that gets chosen against arsenal for me is key. The rest of the team pretty much picks for itself but in defence we have options. For me it's not a case of picking the best 4 defenders on talent but about picking the right players to combat the strengths of arsenal. If it was me I would go for this:
Walker---gallas---caulker/vertonghen---naughton
As for why I'd go like this:
Dawson- lacks pace so I'd leave him out of this one
Ekotto- don't think avb rates him.
Caulker- good in the air in both boxes
Gallas- reads the game well and quicker than Dawson
Vertonghen- he's been poor of late but I can still see him starting
So who would you want to see come Sunday??

Good article. I would play
Walker, Caulker/Gallas, Verts, BAE. Plenty of experience with some pace.

That is the back 4 that got killed at the emirates.
Naughton got murdered.
For me, BAE would have to play!!!

Definitely agree about the high line, we should give it a miss on Sunday. Although that does mean we won't be able to press as high up as we normally do
