[karl]

Very disappointed for Perez. Very direct player that makes things happen, so obviously not a Wenger favourite.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Perez must be injured he should have make the bench ahead of Jeff if he was fit.

 

[Penn_]

No Perez is a concern after Wenger's comments on Welbeck.

Tuesday was the first league game that Walcott didn't start when fit so no surprise he returns.

 

[Garrincha]

4-2-3-1... Walcott & Ox playing in a big match... Feels like a loss coming.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

No Perez? Is he injured, if not wenger is a ****

The fans think he should play so Wenger's pulling rank.

What comments? I didn't see them.

 

[tap-in]

Perez not even on the bench. I think Wenger is right to rest him, he must have played at least 90 mins in total this year.

 

[Jasard]

Perez injured?

 

[A_G]

Perez isn't in the squad because this isn't a cup game against a **** team

 

[junglist57]

Lineup looks good. No donkey starting which is what we need.

Apparently Martin Atkinson is to referee this one.

Chelsea might not be delighted with the choice of Atkinson considering they lost the two games for which he was in charge. He officiated their only defeat in their last 19 games, the 2-0 loss to Sp**s as well the loss to Liverpool earlier in the campaign.

Foolishly feeding my optimism I guess.

 

[Polar Bear]

I am very happy Giroud is not playing, sorry I like him but I think thats exactly what Luiz and Cahill want. It's much better we have Sanchez up front imo. We need to be fast, not this slow slow slowness.

 

[Makingtrax]

What a team. Those boys would swim naked through a tank of box jellyfish for Wenger.

Not really. It would be just like Arsenal to throw the easy game and then win this one when it is too late!

 

[Trilly]

This is a game for Welbz goddamnit.

Ox-Coq midfield. Lord forgive us.

 

[Notorious Big]

They will smash Theo and Ox.

 

[Garrincha]

Ox will have to seriously up his midweek 1/5 success in tackles & hopefully Theo has more than his 20 touches in a big game.

AMN with Coq was the safe option in midfield. Wenger gone too attacking yet again.

 

[1970*Gooner]

WTF is Lucas? he is not even on the bench, if he is not injured WTF is Wonga playing at??? Lucas has played well enough so WTF isn't he been given at least a chance, Wongas love child Walnut is starting says it all.

 

[razörist]

Finally Alexis upfront. Giroud dropped 1 game too late instead of 15. At this rate Arsène will be mistakefree by 2020 and we can really challenge.

 

[1970*Gooner]

Very disappointed for Perez. Very direct player that makes things happen, so obviously not a Wenger favourite.

He is getting the Podolski treatment.

 

[Rimaal]

Best we could hope for, really. Wish Perez were on the bench.
