The XI: Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
Team Status
Jack Wilshere was substituted with an ankle injury in midweek but is expected to be fit while Mathieu Flamini is available after missing the defeat by Borussia Dortmund with concussion.
Abou Diaby, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lukas Podolski, Yaya Sanogo and Theo Walcott make up the injury list.
Preferred line-up
Szczesny
Sagna – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Gibbs
Flamini
Ramsey – Cazorla – Wilshere
Ozil
Giroud
good one
. now we go for win
Szczesny
Jenkins Kosc Thomas V Montreal
Flamini Ramsey
Gnabry Ozil Cazorla
Giroud
Wilshere (needs rest or risk injury)
NB
Gibbs (must be fresh for B Dor)
Rosicky (can impact from the bench)
GK
Arteta (wasn’t covering for that late goal in last loss)
Must play with some width! Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey do not run as fast without the ball (they are is fast with the ball). We need the legs of Gnabry to keep the defense honest and not overexpose our full backs. Sagna was up the pitch when we conceded against Dortm second.
Datz d best we cn offer buh if wilshere cnt make it den he shld b replaced by arteta 2 giv our midfield extra strength.
I think ramsey needs to be rested its vital that he is fit for the important run of games coming up why not rest him now?
I would prefer a vermalen koscielny partnership at the back then an ozil,arterta,carzola,rosicky and flamini midfield and a bendtner attack.so that players like giroud and mertersaker would ve some rest due to somany they ve played this season
Arsenal 4 live. I love arsenal
