It’s the FA Cup 4th round today, we face high-flying Championship side Burnley at the Emirates today. Arsene Wenger has made some changes to the side that lost to Chelsea, here are the official line-ups.
Arsenal: Ospina, Chambers, Gabriel, Koscielny, Gibbs, Coquelin, Elneny, Iwobi, Alexis, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud
Subs: Cech, Monreal, Bellerin, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Campbell
Burnley: Heaton, Darikwa, Keane, Mee, Ward, Boyd, Jones, Ulvestad, Arfield, Vokes, Gray
Subs: Robinson, Duff, Kightly, Taylor, Lowton, Barton, Hennings
Excited to see Elneny and Le Coq!
Looks decent. Great to have Coq back!!
Burnley attackers seeing Coquelin starting today:
“You’d better Stop!
Before, you tear me all apart
You’d better Stop!
Before, you go and break my calf!”
That was awful
It really was.
Is Ozil being rested, or is it an injury that keeps him off the bench?
He wasn’t among the subs in the last round either, I’m sure Wenger’s just giving him the day off.
Cog+Elneny the combo we have been waiting. Let’s hope it click
More like ElCoq combo
Hope Iwobi takes his chance again and shows the manager more of what he’s got.
glad hectors getting a rest and hoping coquelin and elneny can get up to speed quickly.
mmmm.. options..
Common guys, let’s take a step closer to a new fa cup record.
Early goal con do us a whole lots of good.
I’m a believer,

Is that you Klopp? What are you doing on an Arsenal site? Need new glasses?
I might have asked you the same.
How come you have such a thought on a match day?
SMDH.
You wrote “i’m a believer’. Was just a joke and a great one at that too as you see from the misunderstanding.
I hope we score enough in the first half to let the Coq be sub-ed early
For Rosicky! Can’t wait to see him on the pitch again.
Only two players that started against Chelsea (Kos and Giroud) and only four that ended it (Kos, Gabriel, Ox, and Alexis).
To say that this is going to be interesting is something of an understatement.
That makes it sound like a much weaker side than it is. These are nearly all experienced players who have shown they can cut it at any level. The only real wildcard in there is Iwobi, but he sure as hell earned his place after his performance in the last round.
One of our best LANS is Coquelin, welcome back Chief Patroller !!
Rosicky’s back! 😀 Can’t wait for the upcoming scamperyness.
No Ozil or Alexis even on the bench, scary!!
Except for the Alexis in the starting 11…….
Itd be great to finally see elneny but I Was really hoping rosisky would start ? oh well, he’ll have to come as a sub and smash the fifth in then
Debuchey out of squad, obvious he’s going. My prediction today 4-1, Sanchez double, Giroud & Iwobi with a mazzy dribble.
That should get the job done. COYG!
Cue the boring coq puns….(wish they’d go away)
But seriously, I hope Wenger subs him early. Would hate to see him re-aggravate injury.
Coq off with that negative attitude.
Who’s captain?
Koz
What a subs’ bench!
Exciting team selection. Elneny and Coq start together, Alexis back, Ox with something to prove and Iwobi.. I cannot wait to watch him again.
A goal for Iwobi today
Last time we played Burnley at home, Sanchez and Welbeck were up front in a 4-4-2. Would be interesting if that were the case today, with Iwobi and Ox on the wings. Probably not, but it would be fun!
Welcome back Francis! And a warm welcome to Elneny on his debut! Hoping these two can add zip to our midfield yay!!!
The Coqneny axis
Shaky performance thus far, nice to take the lead but shame it didn’t last!!!
Sorry about this but coquelin was so poor giving the ball away abt 5 times atleast in only 45 mins plus elneny was so weak in retaining the ball, from this performance hes far from good enough let alone for any pl team
Are you seriously judging a guy after 45 mins,get a fucking grip
Yes i do. A moment in a game can decide the game i itself. Welcome to football stupid man. Learn it
You should learn to spell
Big atta boy to Chambers…give em hell!
Ooff..somehow crept over the line.
Iwobi- exciting prospect
Theo – poor in confidence. Can’t score in a open goal
Sanchez – how we have missed.
Elneny – needs game time
Gabriel – not very convincing
Overall a very average performance. Happy that we are in the next time.
