So Friday is an FA Cup Game against Man City. Assuming Kiwior is confirmed to be able to play, what 11 would you pick for this game.
Now I think its important to rest some players but at the same time go for the win. If we rest too many and get destroyed, it may affect us mentallly for the league games. As a result, I think we should only make a couple of changes.
My team would be:
---------------------------Ramsdale
Tomiyasu------Saliba---------Gabriel------Zinchenko
-----------------Elneny-------Xhaka
Trossard--------------Odegaard-------ESR
----------------------------Nketiah
I think Saka and Martinelli both need a rest to prevent burnout. Smith Rowe needs some minutes to get some fitness up.
We need Partey for the league so wouldn't risk him. Xhaka and Odegaard for some experience but maybe look to put Lakonga and Vieira on for them in the 2nd half if all going well.
Would not put in our new CB for a game like this.
Team for Friday

"Sing when you are winning" is the typical example OP. He left this site while Arsenal were not doing great

It's a tricky one. I remember in 07/08, we were flying, drew old Trafford in the cup, played a mixed XI, got battered.
I'm not saying that led to utd overtaking us in the league, but it can give an edge.
Honestly, I'd play the first team. See what we're made of.

But then if we play a strong xi and they field a weakened team and still beat us... 🤣😂

--------------------------Turner
Tomiyasu------White---------Holding------Tierney
-----------------Elneny-------Lokonga
Trossard--------------Vieira-------ESR
----------------------------Nketiah
Playing the first team in my opinion would be nuts with so many games to play, I get the issue that a heavy defeat wouldn’t help but resting players when we can is critical. The FA Cup is not important AT ALL to us, we actually have a chance in the league this season & the FA Cup pales in comparison to that.
The other side of the coin regarding team morale is it gives squad players a chance to push for the starting 11, it’s very tough if you get no chances at all. 🤷🏻♂️

The same team that beat United with Turner, Tomi and Trossard in for Ramsdale, White and Martinelli.

Partey is now injured, he shouldn’t have been playing - I hate to say I told you so but I told you so…🤷🏻♂️
