Szczesny
Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Gibbs
Song - Arteta
Ramsey
Walcott - Van Persie - Oxo


I think that lineup will play.

Going to be a very very tough game, we need away goals.

You don't think he'll go for Rosicky's experience over Ramsey?

It's a shame Benayoun's not being used more, really wanted him to come off the bench yesterday instead of Arshavin... good thing the decision wasn't mine to make!

Nope, the only reason Rosicky started the last two games is because Ramsey was fatigued.

I think Gibbs will play too, it's pretty risky though. We need to firstly not lose under any circumstance because them coming here defending a lead is bad news. Score draw I'd happily take but I think we can do them there.

We need to try and use our pace on the wings to our advantage but whoever is up against Abate won't get much joy in that respect, especially if it's Walcott.

I think it'll be Coquelin at RB and Sagna at LB.
Raya/Ramsdale
White/Tomiyasu--Saliba/Timber--Gabriel/Kiwior--???/Zinchenko

Odegaard/Smith Rowe----Rice/???

I agree with the above formation.

Also, I think Sagna should stay at RB and either use Coquelin or Gibbs at LB. I'm not sure how prepared Gibbs will be for this game, so I'll have to trust Wenger's judgment on this one
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)

I for one do NOT want Gibbs (who can be very dodgy at the best of times) coming back from a long absence and facing an on form Meeeelan at the San Siro.

Szczesny
Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs
Arteta Song Coquelin
Gervinho van Persie Chamberlain


The last thing we want is Gervinho to cut inside and shoot so it makes sense to put him on the right. If this team plays I can see a win.

Coquelin is a bazillion times better LB than he is a RB.

I don't want Gibbs to play but i have a feeling he will.

Either that or

Sagna - Djourou - Koscielny - Vermaelen.

Which i wouldn't be too displeased about.

Ramsey
Walcott - Van Persie - Oxo


I think we can nick it with this line up.

I don't want Gibbs straight in to a match of this magnitude.

Gervinho is not going to play, Wenger has said so. He's playing the ACN final in 15 minutes lol

AC Milan are coming into this game off a good result. They came from 1 goal down to beat Udinese 2-1 (a bit like us with Sunderland). It will not be an easy game that's for sure
