The Interlull is done and dusted and we’ve got Premier League action today against Swansea.
We’re looking for our first win over them since 2011, so there’s a lot to do against tricky opposition. Here are the official line-ups.
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Cazorla, Ozil, Iwobi, Walcott, Alexis
Subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Gabriel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Coquelin, Elneny, Lucas
Swansea: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor, Fer, Britton, Cork, Routledge, Barrow, Sigurdsson
Subs: Nordfeldt, van der Hoorn, Rangel, Kingsley, Fulton, Ki, Borja
Excellent. COYG!
I actually thought Lucas might start due to Alexis travelled a lot. I hope we change things around on Wed but hopefully solid 3 points today!!
COYG
What a fantastic bench.
A bit of concentration today and we should get the three points.
COYG!
Damn! I hope we kick Swansea ass!
Okay, but some serious rotation will be needed over upcoming weeks. Hope Lucas and Elneny start against Ludogorec. Possibly Gibbs and Ox aswell.
Xhaka haven’t play much during early season and am still young. Doubt we should rotate him and affect the momentum. Coq is still ahead of eleny imo.
Sanchez is a tough decision to make. Double header with ludogorec goes a long way to deciding first place in the group. And considering we do have the tendency to self destruct…..
There is no one ahead or behind in the midfield at the moment I think. All of them are fighting for places, all good though.
lovely looking line up!
The coq is back on
Gutted I can’t be there today. I’ve got a feeling that Swansea are getting a good hiding
I sincerely hope so! Strong lineup that can do the job needed!
Thank god! The Premier League is back again and I am excited..
Let us go milk those 3 points today! COYG
lucas could’ve used a start . the only time he played he has impressed us . alexis needs a rest one way or another . lets hope wengers reluctance to change the starting eleven dont come to bite us in the future through injuries to key players.
Could do with a favour or two here fabianksi 😉
swansea are a very good team. the table does not do justice to them. in a very short time they’ve played liverpool chelsea leicestre and man city twice. and they gave them a good fight too. they drawn against chelsea fought well against liverpool and were the only team in my opinion who managed to rattle man city before spurs defeated them . and with there good record against arsenal and with a new good manager this should be good match
Arsenal dodged a bullet there with Vardy. I suspect Marhez is quietly regretting staying.
Mahrez wanted to join. No doubt about it, but as he said, he was very expensive and Leicester refused to sell. Vardy on the other hand showed a real lack of ambition.
Very confident in this squad, prove me right please lads.
Three Points today…..COYG!!!!..
For years, our attack has been out of shape against Swansea defense. Many dull moments that so badly need touch of genius in it had not been delivered. Hopefully this season Iwobi and Walcott 2.0 shape things up in our favor!
Three defeats total last season to four already this season… I just don’t get football sometimes.
Sorry this was a reply to Goonersmurf
Come, just support the team. No one is a manager. Let Wenger do his thing
To be honest I am very grateful to vardy and mahrez for doing the right thing and not coming. Can you imagine that lineup? They did us a huge favour if you ask me
