Arsenal are in Champions League action this evening, taking on Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates.
Here are tonight’s official line-ups.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Sterling, Havertz
Subs: Neto, Setford, Tierney, Calafiori, Kacurri, Partey, Merino, Kabia, Butler-Oyedeji, Trossard, Nwaneri
Dinamo Zagreb: Nevistic, Torrente, Ademi, Bernauer, Stojkovic, Baturina, Mmaee, Kulenovic, Pierre-Gabriel, Ristovski, Rog
Subs: Zagorac, Filipovic, Kacavenda, Hoxha, Cordoba, Pjacam Mbuku, Misic, Bakovic, Cutuk, Pavic, Spikic
Happy to see Kiwior start, think there’s a decent footballer in there and I like his calmness. Really hoping for a positive performance from Sterling tonight, I so want home to do well. Options on the bench, unlike Sunday. COYG!
home? 😠 him obvs!
You say that but last time he played he got bullied by Mateta.
Learn to forgive.
Bar his initial mistake that led to Mateta’s goal and a lead to Crystal Palace, he was excellent for the rest of the game.
Learn to let go of anger. It helps to put things in perspective without overeating.
I’m old enough to remember Jon Samuels being destroyed by critics in the North Bank. Give the lad a chance!
Hopeful for a strong showing for this lineup. Could help us a ton to boost the confidence here.
No MLS?
School tomorrow
Arteta on Lewis-Skelly absenceArsenal head coach Mikel Arteta speaking to TNT Sports:
“He could not finish the training yesterday. He had an incident against Aston Villa, he wasn’t feeling right.
“The same with Ricky [Riccardo Calafiori], he only trained 20 minutes.
“So, we have to adapt again, like we have all season, and have some fresh faces in the team as well.”
Bench looks healthier at least. COYG
Great. Weaken the defence and the attack.
Darn
No sign of TP at RB….
Joking🤦♂️
“Chaps, win this and we’re off to warmer climes” ha! Happy with the team, let’s win!
I hope that sterling will at least try today.
If he doesn’t, I hope the Arsenal fans give it to him both barrels. Of course if he runs and chases back but things don’t work for him, he deserves support. Not holding my breath though. Watch him score a hat trick now lol.
If he doesn’t we should just send him back to Chelsea.
Timber needs a rest. He had a very serious injury last year.
Sounds like White should be available soon.
Win this and it’s knockout round virtually in the bag.
R16 is a knockout stage as well.
You meant to say 1/4 in the bag.
A 1/4 in the bag is worth 1/2 in the bush?
Aren’t you jumping the gun?
It’s R16 I am talking about. There’s a two legged play-off before that.
A win brings us back to third and comes pretty close to guaranteeing top 8, barring bizarre goal swings in the final round. Although Dinamo have been poor, they are even on points with Man City and ahead of PSG. As far as I know, they are not owned by a petro-state.
Some decent options on the bench. I think Jorginho is in there because Arteta expects to have a ton of the ball.
Early goal please to keep some control.
Nwaneri, welcome back lad, you have been missed!
MLS rested hopefully and not hurt.
Wither the Skeldogg?
3 pts is all that matters here – lineup should be strong enough, just finish the chances!
Injuries and PGMOL aside, mediocrity in our frontline is our biggest problem. Martinelli can’t beat a permanent fixture. Can’t look up to pick a pass. Havertz ever so industrious but llacking the end product. Sterling is a total waste of space. Get the clown out of Arsenal. Our build up so slow and predictable. Zagreb will two the game to us at a point. They need the points on the table to stand a change of making the next round. We are just one deflected goal away from dropping points in this game unless we step it up in the… Read more »
