The Theo final

Chelsea's players will expect to only have to turn up to win, and that will be their downfall

Hopefully Theo won't get on the pitch.

We'll have a back 3 of Holding, Mert and Monreal. Could be worse. Bellerin and Gibbs as the wing backs. Midfield will probnably be Ramsey and Xhaka, although Id go with Coq instead of Xhaka to help out the defence. Then a choice up front. their CBs will cope easily with Giroud and Welbecks finishing is poor atm, so I'd like to see Alexis up front.

Mustafi will play with Holding and Monreal.
Giroud up front.

Prefer welbeck up front.

Ozil looks to be in great form

That's the spirit Arsenal fans. It's not over until the fat lady sings and all that....

I thought Kos was world class?

Gabriel Could be back. Remember him going off on a stretcher last season only to play the next game. Bit of a drama queen.

He is but he is banned

Cech
Holding Mustafi Nacho
Bellerin Ramsey Xhaka Gibbs
Ox Alexis Ozil

Need to go with this. I really don't want to see Giroud or Welbeck start this game

And I dont want to see Gibbs ffs

I think you've called most of that side right, but I can see Ox starting on the bench with Welbeck starting up front to give us a front 3 of

Ozil Welbeck Sanchez

I'm not convinced by Gibbs as a wingback. He's generally a good player but seriously let down by the final ball when attacking

Didnt know if he'd be fit in time. I sort of assumed he was injured today so knowing what Arsenal are like didnt expect him back.

Giroud will be easy for them to cope with.

Can't play the workhouse Welbeck.

Giroud all day long

Not if we're able to give him service.

Has Giroud ever had a good game vs Chelsea?

Welbeck is shocking and won't do fack all against Chelsea

His open goal miss today sums up how bad of a finisher he is

I agree. I would play Alexis as a CF

Ozil has been as good as he's ever been since going 3 at the back. This Ozil can win us the cup

We need a new striker in the summer

Hopefully losing Kos & potentially Gabriel doesn't make Wenger revert to 4 at the back.

As others have stated, the 3 at the back has brought the best out of Ozil - However its also got Xhaka, Gabriel, Ramsey & Monreal all playing a clear level above two-three months ago.

I'm quietly confident about this game.

yeah and isolate him instead of Welbeck, right?
