Arsenal are in Premier League action today, taking on Leicester at the Emirates.
Here are the official line-ups.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard
Subs: Neto, Nichols, Kiwior, Kacurri, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus
Leicester: Hermansen, Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen, Winks, Skipp, Ndidi, Buonanotte, Mavididi, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Ricardo, Coady, Choudhury, El Khannouss, Fatawu, De Cordova-Reid, Ayew, Eduouard
Where is white?
Injured
The really cool thing is that we barely miss him.
A far cry from last season…
Dark Arts from Arteta, eh?
Fooling everyone into thinking Raya is unavailable only to start him! Sure Gary Neville, Carragher, Keane, SOURness, and the rest of their cronies in the media will have something to moan about and write about for this game… as opposed to focusing on the match itself.
COYG. Let’s get the W!
Gary Neville; ‘I don’t know the plan at Arsenal,’. One minute the goalkeeper is injured the next he’s playing. Personally I think this is cheating and will be looked at by the PGMOL
He actually never said that he won’t be available. He said he has some muscular issues and they will decide today if he can play.
It’s sarcasm, my friend. A shot at all the eggheads who have been going off about “dark arts” all week because 10 men Arsenal dared to nick a point at the Etihad.
Arsenal 5 : 0 Leicester

AFTER UNITED AND TOTTENHAM’S 0 – 0 DRAW, WE ASK THE QUESTION – ISN’T IT TIME WE MADE THE GOALS A BIT BIGGER?
LOL
My buddy just text me – ‘Ok, three way title fight now’.
My reply – ‘Yup. City. Arsenal. And City’s Lawyers.
Was hoping for Nwaneri to start
I get it. He’ll get minutes though. 3 up at the half and a lot of the bench will get minutes. COYG!
What’s up with Ben W?
Hasn’t had a game off in like 3 years? Relax.
He‘s carrying a small injury, should already be rested against 115, couldn’t because of the red card and now gets his well deserved rest. If not against Leicester with Timber and Calafiori available, he‘ll never get a rest.
I heard it was a vitamin D deficiency.
And flights are really cheap out of season…
What are you on today? Ha ha
Amazing that we have four defenders out (White, Zinchenko and Tomiyasu all of whom were considered starters plus Tierney who used to start all the time of course before falling out of favor) yet are fielding an incredibly strong back four with a starting Polish international in reserve. Can’t remember us ever having this much quality defensive depth.
What happened to Benjamin ?
Leicester are deeply unlikable these days with a very spursy midfield and that racist still up front
These days?
Subs: Neto, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Merino, Zinchenko, Jorginho Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus
That’s how our bench looks like with a full squad. Impressive 💪
Though perhaps one attacker down, maybe something for January business??
Nvm, looks like I forgot O’ Captain My Captain
And Ben Blanco
Ayeee….at this point it’s better if I just deleted my initial comment and retreated back to my rock
Delete your account mate, you’ve had a mare
Neto? What have i missed here
Our former boy mavididi in their line up.
Newcastle players injured in the eighth minute of seven added… dark arts!
Newcastle did their bit, was hoping for a late Joe Willock winner.
Was half expecting the ref to send someone off at the end just to say “see? We can be impartial”
Anyone else think White may be getting the Ramadale treatment? I don’t fully buy the White injury thing
He’s injured
Just seen the Jens chainsaw attack story. Proper legend.
Jens, Jens, Jens, I can empathize with the unpaid parking tickets though!
Can anyone explain to me?
Rice got 2 yellow and which banned.
The same for Trossard , but he starting the match?
His ban was the Bolton game mid week.
Aye. Thanks for the explanation
We all knew we’d miss our genius of a captain but not having Merino available has really hurt us too as we’d have been able to leave out Partey and his consistent errors.
Partey was outstanding against the Oil Cheats and again today.
Heart attack moments
