So bored of trying to crowbar Cazorla and Ozil in the same team, just doesn't work against anyone decent.

Would leave one on the bench, give Theo another start on the right.

I think Welbeck is playing better than Alexis at the moment. So either he starts ahead of him or like Chris H says drop one of Cazorla or Ozil; imo drop Cazorla and play Welbeck not Walcott.

So much for liverpool missing players for this fix, we have five.

I agree with the Cazorla/Ozil thing. Just doesn't work

We have the same team available that has got us into this form. Other than Debuchy none of those would have got into the team anyway

Why not Gabby ahead of BFG?

To much of a risk to play Gabby.

Per and kosc is still our best combo

"We have the same team available that has got us into this form. Other than Debuchy none of those would have got into the team anyway"

I agree. Dissapointed with Ox though

Wengers confirmed that Arteta, Debuchy, Wilshere, Ox and Diaby won't play despite being in full training.

That's actually wrong. He said he doesnt know yet if the guys will be involved for Saturday.

The Ox is in training as well but not ready to play.

Ox starts for me if he is fit

Reality is both sanchez and Ozil will play. Wenger will never bench these two.

Which means it will be out Welbeck snd Ramsey for the other spot

When we have all our players back we have one hell of a bench. Luckily for the rest of the PL that hardly ever happens.

Once everyone is fully fit, players like flamini, rosicky and chambers will probably miss out of the match day squads

I dont even think Bellerin would make our match day squad when everyones fit

Chambers is very unpopular lately. Can't even make the match day squad.

The BFG will play as he is well rested and Wenger does not like disrupting existing partnerships. I still would have liked for Wenger to at least throw 2 curve balls to disrupt Rodgers preparations.

They will target Mertesacker.

Either way as long as Ramsey or even Wilshere partner the Coq then I won't complain too much about who plays ahead of them. We can't let them win the midfield, we simply can't.

What disappoints me the most is we won't be able to press esp if Welbeck doesn't start.
We will play a patient game which can backfire if pool score first.

I prefer Nacho for Gibbs. Nacho has vastly improved and has been one of our most consistent players this season.

And Wenger sees it as well. Nacho will start.

Burnley Arsenal game live on sky.

Nacho is way superior To Gibbs in an attacking sense. His final delivery and use of the ball in the final third is way better. He is a clever full back and if he had pace would be one of the best in the league.

Gibbs will start on Saturday though.

Monreal should start for the simple reason that he has had a week off whereas Gibbs has only just returned from international duty.

Worked alright against United.

I would play Walcott over Ozil. I have a feeling Welbeck will start and Alexis will be on the bench.

Merts shouldn't play another game this season, Gabby in especially with Studge or Sterling up front.

Drop Cazorla for Theo who's usually good in this fixture. Team in the OP is very slow
