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

[Mike Vinna]

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

Where's he going then?

I just hope Kos, Xhaka, Özil and Alexis don't start this. They're spine of the team right now. Can't risk injury or fatigue with them.

 

[berric]

Is it true that Bellerin is back in training? I read it in Mirror this morning.

 

[A_G]

Where's he going then?

Africa Cup of Nations.

 

[Preacher]

When I spot Jenkinson name in the line up:

 

[IchirotoV2]

I want;
Ospina
AMN - Gabriel - Holding - Gibbs
Xhaka - Ramsey
Walcott - Iwobi - Chamberlain
Lucas

With Elneny coming on for Ramsey inside the first 30 min if Ramsey is again sh*t, and Giroud and Jeff on later in the game.

 

[Jack the lad]

Hearing that the team will be
Ospina
AMN - Gabriel - Holding - Gibbs
Elneny - Ramsey
Lucas Iwobi Willock
Giroud

 

[Penn_]

Xhaka should be treated with the same care as Alexis/Özil. With Cazorla basically out for the season we have no one else like him.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

The only change to the squad is that Giroud comes in and Coquelin is out.

 

[tap-in]

Hearing that the team will be
Ospina
AMN - Gabriel - Holding - Gibbs
Elneny - Ramsey
Lucas Iwobi Willock
Giroud

So where are you hearing that?

 

[Gautier]

I created the thread because I mainly wanted to say I hope Sanchez gets rested !
We most probably will finish 2nd and our attitude is pretty good on last CL group stage games. So i would also hope Koscielny or Mustafi gets rested , Holding could have a go.

 

[bojed]

Elneny to show Fellaini how it should be done playing against your old club.

 

[Hunta]

Africa Cup of Nations.

It's doing us a favour for once.

 

[skip spence]

I think Wenger will play a full strength team, alas.

 

[crazyman]

Would like to see Lucas on the left wing and see what he can do there.

Ox should start on the right. Let him continue to build good form.

 

[Makingtrax]

Rest everybody, even Wenger.

Ffs

 

[asukru]

Ox needs to start - he is coming into form and you can see that by playing him consistently his confidence is coming along well. I would be tempted to play Holding as well as I believe he can do a job for us. Start with Lucas up top and later on we can bring on Giroud. I fully expect us to win this game. Looking at Elneny to have a great game as well.

 

[Jasard]

I imagine Giroud will start

I imagine Giroud will start

Giroud is fit now?

So the game is tonight within a few hours?? Don't think I can get engaged in this.

Ah no, I forgot.
