I agree.
Their second team is very strong. With all our injuries and lack of investment in the summer, our second team is fairly weak.
The squad is very strong so expect to see a lot of the first teamers on the bench
Hope the lineups aren't too mismatched.
Have a bad feeling it's going to end up with Mata, Willian, Schurlle, Eto'o and co against the likes of Gnabry, Hayden, Ryo and Bendtner.

This will be the case unfortunately
If Bendtner plays we win.
I'm not going to underestimate your second team if you do play it. I think the whole of your squad will be full of confidence. I reckon you will go full strength tonight.
Although saying that haven't u got some really tough games coming up ?
If we want it bad enough we will win, what teams did we get beaten by last year in the CoC and FA cup?
Wenger will want to end the 9 years of hurt
We have no choice unfortunately. If Poldi, Walcott and Ox had been fit the last couple of weeks, our second string would've looked considerably stronger. At full strength, this is our best second XI
Fabianski
Jenkinson Mert Verm Monreal
Arteta Wilshere/Diaby
Ox Rosiçky Poldi
Bendtner
Which is pretty impressive IMO. We can't help that Chelsea has a lot of depth, and neither can we help our injuries, that's just how it is. But frankly, the league and Europe trumps the CÔC, I'd be livid if we played someone like Ramsey or Giroud today and they ended up getting injured. It has to be a second string. I'm sure we won't get smashed in any case, the team will put up a strong fight.
Unfortunately, I think to have any chance of getting one over on Chelsea this evening, Wenger would HAVE TO field either a full-strength or very near full-strength team. We all know that this won't happen.
Chelsea's SQUAD is extremely strong and unfortunately (for us) I think that will tell tonight. I'm hoping it won't be a walkover, but you can take it to the bank that Mourinho will take this game very seriously and I expect Chelsea to win the game.

We could at least field a strong bench though so if we start off badly we can at least have players to bring on in the 2nd half that will attempt to rescue the game.
