Arsenal take on CSKA Moscow in the quarter-final first leg of the Europa League at the Emirates tonight.
A good result would set us up for a tricky trip to Russia next week, so fingers crossed we can do that.
Here are the official line-ups.
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil, Wilshere, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette
Subs: Macey, Chambers, Holding, Kolasinac, Elneny, Welbeck, Iwobi
CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev, Wernbloom, Ignashevich, Berezutski, Musa, Dzagoev, Golovin, Berezutski, Schennikov, Natcho, Kuchaev
Subs: Pomazun, Milanov, Vitinho, Bistrovic, Chalov, Zhameletdinov, Khosonov
Would have loved to see Kolasinac start.
Instead of who?
Wilshere in a back three.
laca maybe
COYG
Over the moon with that starting XI
Let’s get this done Arsenal! Strongest lineup possible. No excuses!
Big game for Laca, let’s hope he makes a difference tonight!
4-2-3-1?
Normally we play with 10 attackers
VERY happy Cech is starting but Ospina didn’t even make the bench? Odd
Must be injured, or wore a Wenger out t shirt in training!
He may be a bit cross??
Don’t mention crosses & Ospina in the same sentence…
haha
I probably just fell over somewhere.
Nobody will be able to say ‘Oooospina’. That almost spoils it.
The best we’ve got this season. Next season Aubameyang will slot in.
Also El Neny, Iwobi, Holding should drop to reserves and we need to replace them with world class players next season.
I don’t really like Rambo and Wilshere in the same 11. Hopefully Rambo plays ahead of Jack on the pitch this time.
COYG!!! Use Liverpool as an inspiration and go out there and attack from the beginning.
Oh wow I remember their goalkeeper akinfeev during the early years of playing football manager. Solid goalie for such a small fee. My go to goalie purchase for arsenal in fm through the 2000s..
where is that guy who was hating on blogz assuming Cech might start?
Our old friend Golovin is back
Shouldn’t he be playing for us by now?
Our Nacho is better than their Natcho
Nice team
Loving that line up. Up the Arse(nal)!!
Wenger must be following Arseblog
