I would be very surprised if we beat them. Watford midfield is their strength and xhaka ramsey will suffer here

Cech
Mustafi Koscielny(c)? Monreal
Bellerin --- Elneny --- Xhaka --- Kolasinac
Ramsey --- Alexis
Lacazette

Subs: Ospina, Mertesacker, Coquelin?, Wilshere, Ozil?, Iwobi/Walcott, Giroud


Would not be against Wilshere starting this but it seems Wenger's still easing him back in

Same team imo. Everyone will have had a decent rest so no rotation needed.

Anyone going?

Ramsey in a attacking midfield position .............

No thanks, this is Watford ffs, put Ramsey in CM, we don't need both Xhaka and Elneny.

Ramsey at CM and Ozil at RW if fit, if not Iwobi or Wilshere.

If Ozil starts this, then the only way I’d be comfortable starting Ramsey in CM is if he’s playing alongside Elneny. Also, Don’t mind playing Ramsey in CM if Wilshere or Iwobi is ahead of him. We are away from home so we must not underestimate them especially their forward players

Yeah but underestimating is one thing, parking the bus is quite another.

Having a CM in an advanced role and basically having Sanchez and Lacazette as our only offensive players in the team plus playing 5 at the back is practically that, parking the bus.

Mustafi injured..Koscielny a maybe. Don't expect Ozil to play in an away game in the premier league as a welcome back either.. Sigh. Why did Gabriel have to go? He wasn't good enough to be a starter but he had plenty of good games so as backup he wasn't bad at all.

But alas, we don't have Gabriel so that's why I'd opt for 1-4-4-2.

Image
Subs: Ospina, Holding, Per, Xhaka, Iwobi, AMN, Theo

Above is my ideal lineup right now.

But knowing Wenger it will be 1-3-5-2 with Cech; Holding, Koscielny, Monreal; Bellerin, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Ramsey, Iwobi; Alexis, Lacazette.
Wembley:
Community Shield @6-8-'23 = 1*-1 Manchester City

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @09-03-'24 = 2 - 1 Brentford
Next game @03-04-'24 = VS Luton [ Block 121 - Seat 847 ]

Wenger will never play two up front, I'd like to see it as well but this manager is a coward and has no ambition.

My expectation of Wengers lineup :

Cech
Holding - Koscielny - Monreal
Bellerin - Xhaka - Ramsey - Kolasinac
Özil - Iwobi
Lacazette


What I would want to see:

Cech
Bellerin - Chambers - Koscielny - Kolasinac
Xhaka
Wilshere - Ramsey
Özil
Alexis - Lacazette

Koscielny and Kolasinac a doubt for this game according to Wenger.

If both aren't ready, we are left with:

---Chambers - Mertesacker - Holding
Bellerin ------------------------------ Monreal

Slowest back three ever?
