I thought enrique was injured?
I would start Cazorla from the bench today.
Liverpool have conceded 5 already so that defence has some issues. They gifted the chances to City last week, we might not be that lucky but we can definitely worry and trouble that back four. Any news yet on our starting Xi? Hoping to see Chamberlain start alongside Arteta and Cazorla in midfield. In front of them Podolski on the left Giroud up top and Theo on the right.
Arsenal: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Cazorla, Arteta, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.
Subs: Koscielny, Martinez, Santos, Ramsey, Coquelin, Gervinho, Walcott.

why would you bench our best player?

Ooo. Ok, could have done without seeing Diaby there but well happy Chamberlain starts.
Are Happy times here again?
very good. probably best line up we have right now. excited to see chamberlain start. he looked terrific last week.
chamberlain's a notch above our other wingers. but even he is pretty inconsistent, had some shocking games last year.
Fairly strong bench, Diaby could have been rotated with Coquelin but overall happy with the team.
Certainly enough going forward to work on their insecurities. Hope to see us run at them and take them on in and around the box. Definitely think it'd pay off to keep testing Reina from distance. Hope we're on target with our set pieces today.
No Arshavin again. With the Russian transfer window still open I suspect he'll be gone soon.
I can understand why Wenger would have Coquelin on the bench as he can cover a number of positions, I suppose it looks like he will be used more in cup games.
I have no idea what to think about this game. No idea if I fancy us to crush them or take a battering.

I have a feeling it's gonna be very fast, very ferocious and a bit of a battle. Can see the game passing him by a bit early on. And he tired quickly last week, so by the time the game settles he may already be fooked.
Happy enough to have him starting though.
Best lineup possible right now
Nice looking team
I think this is the day giroud shuts people up
Sterling will get taught a lesson today.
Way too overhyped for someone who has done nothing.
Ah...if only we had managed to get Sahin. Hope he doesn't hurt us today.
Should be a good game this. I'm tipping Podolski to score.
Cazola has hit the ground running; good to know.
