Need to rotate heavily.

Even if i expect Ethan to go on loan soon he must start this game.

[alexis2015finalgoal]

game we should win. hopefyllyt Eze and Nwaneri amongst others start.

Pompey is bigger than Southampton and more worthy of being a PL club than Soton.

Havertz in the squad

I'd just like to thank Macclesfield for proving The Magic Of The F A Cup Where Huge Upsets Can Happen this round as that relieves Portsmouth of the pressure of having to prove it.
Given what happened to Palace and how average we were against Liverpool, my inclination is to start with the stronger squad, take it from there based on how the game's going.

[coolaa]

Give this game to players who need minutes for agreement on their contracts or match fitness or rustiness.

I don't think our attacking players are strong enough to win any cups if we are facing liverpool/ man city/ Chelsea or even man Utd in the final, because none of our attacking players are top class, not saka, not Trossard.

However, for league title, we have very good chance, purely because of our strong defence and quantity squad depth and other top teams will have key players missing out a lengthy spell over 38 league games, destined to happen.

Arsenal starting XI: Arrizabalaga, White, Norgaard, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Eze, Nwaneri, Madueke, Martinelli, Jesus

Strong bench

[Zenith]

Don't forget your predictions!

Why is Merino captain lmao ?

Surely Gabriel

[Arsenal Tone]

Very attacking line up. We probably won't score [emoji23]

[DiamondGooner]

Yes, very attacking.

Think this will be good, Eze needs a game as need him up to speed, Odegaard has games where he runs dry so need proper rotation.

I think it's actually a great line up to test what this Arsenal team can perform like if we choose to go more attacking......good call from Arteta because like Liverpool showed we need to be able to switch up gears in attack.

[Ach]

Nwaneri needs to perform. He's been poorly for a while

[Zenith]

Just a reminder there's no VAR today.

[Nuggets]

Go get em Gunners

[Ach]

Looool

Just go Arteta
