UCL | Basel v Arsenal | Tuesday 6th December 19:45 | BT Sport 2

[haha_arsenal]

Xhaka and Elneny to score against their former club

we'd finish 2nd but PSG would draw Madrid or Bayern, we get something like Napoli or Benfica

 

[David_Smith]

My Bulgarian friend assured me we'll top the group.

coquelin is suspended for this one. Another chance for Ramsey I reckon.

 

[OnlyOne]

Why doesn't GD count in CL? I'm confused.

Goal difference does count, but head to head takes precedence. What's confusing about it?

Is he??

XHAKA-RAMSEY TEST RUN?! :bounce::bounce:

Quite a few leagues go with head-2-head as first deciding factor.... Might even be more common than goal difference.

La Liga is head to head

You do realize it'll be Elneny - Ramsey right?

 

[coolaa]

I would say PSG will be very unlikely to lose, so I would keep our stars in bench only just in case PSG is unlucky enough to lose.

Ospina
Niles Gabriel Holding Gibbs
Elneny Xhaka
Ramsey Iwobi Ox
Giroud

Martinez, Mustafi, Perez, Monreal , Sanchez, Özil, Walcott.

No way Jenkinson should be included in the sqaud, if he needs to gain confidence, send him to a lower league to gain that confidence.

Also I cannot see Ramsey can play in any of the midfield 3, his passing is just bringing the whole team a level down. So I guess his stamina might be the only positive side of his game, and chasing up and down on the right might be the only position he can play to do the least damage to our team.... Perhaps Wenger already figured that out and that's y he is played there since long ago

 

[Aevi]

I'd love it if we finished second but draw Napoli, while PSG top the table and get Real. Would be so bants.

Like when we finished second and drew Monaco.

 

[samshere]

Keep the heavy weights on the bench. Bring them on only if news from the PSG match is positive(and we're not winning)

 

[every little thing]

Lucas plsssssssssssssss.

let him shows how good he is

 

[razörist]

My predicted line up for this game is:

Ospina
Jenko - Gabriel - Holding - Gibbs
Elneny- Xhaka
Ramsey - Iwobi - Ox
Lucas
​

Now I don't know if Jenkinson actually traveled, Arsenal don't announce the squad selection, do they? Think we'll rest our key players, Giroud comes from the bench because he just returned from injury? He might start though, Arsène put Lucas straight in against Southampton. Xhaka-Elneny play because of the sentiment of returning to Basel, Ox plays because he needs to continue his form building.

Really like that line up and want it to happen.

 

[Penn_]

Jenkinson? Really guys.

 

[yybecause]

I am all for resting big guns here, but we,ll still have a strong team, really strong.

Think we should even rrst Xhaka, as we wont have Santi for a while, plus Elneny will be gone soon. Give him and Ramsey a start, Iwobi and Theo also. Add to that Oli and Lucas and its a strong team with lots of stars rested

 

[remains]

I expect Wenger will play the strongest team possible to be honest.
