Likely xhaka will be rested for the leicester game. We have to keep our superstars well rested for the PLMustafi and Kola to team up at CB and Xhaka in front of them. Happy days!

Have Azeez and Balogun even travelled?I think Arteta will go with this team:
Runnarrson
Mustafi-Luiz-Kolasanic
AMN-Partey-Elneny-Saka
Pepe-Lacazette-Nelson
(343)
The team I’m hoping for.

There is no reason for a club that clearly struggles with creativity should be lining up in a back 5 or have sideways passers like Elneny or Xhaka starting. I hope Arteta takes it to them, and if we’re winning by a big margin it wouldn’t hurt to give some players their debut (Azeez or Balogun). Take off Partey by 60th minute so he can start against Leicester.
No, unfortunately I don’t think they’re travellingHave Azeez and Balogun even travelled?
Going by Artetas comments, team sounds like its gonna be pretty strong in first team presence.
Remember when we were CL every year and challenging in the top 4 with exciting football. Used to love those days.
Still, let's hope Mikel can get us back to those levels. Meanwhile . . .
I would much rather watch us get smashed by Bayern then lose to Olympiakos in the first knockout round that's for sure.
Doubt we are gonna see many fringe players. The way he speaks he is gonna start strong 11
Ceballos injury might tempt to start ESR if he's fit.
I want only partey and auba(badly needs a goal) to start from regular 11
Yeah, up in my top 10 games is the match against United in 2017 where we lost 3-1. We had 33 shots to their 8 with an xG through the roof. DeGea pulled off a list of world class saves, one an incredible double save. But Kos made a stupid intercepted diagonal ball, and Mustafi gifted a goal to Lingard. Our passing movements cut them apart with ease. It was beautiful to watch. Watched 3 times. Imagine if we'd had quality CBs like VVD.I would much rather watch us get smashed by Bayern then lose to Olympiakos in the first knockout round that's for sure.
Our EPL goal difference has been in the 40s, last year it was 8.Unfortunately gone are the days where we'd win 3-5-0 in these games, these days we should win but only scores like 2-1 or 1-0.

Cedric and nelson both played full games in U21 squad so doubt they’ll traveli would go for something like:
LenoPoor defence, but i don't care, just want to see Partey and ESR.
Cedric Mustafi Luiz Amn
Xhaka Partey
Pepe ESR Nelson
Laca
also, give Nelson another chance on the left.
