#Arsenal team to play Liverpool: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Rosicky, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud

#Arsenal subs: Fabianski, Vermaelen, Monreal, Jenkinson, Hayden, Akpom, Bendtner #AFCvLFC

Flanagan at right wing back for Liverpool. Johnson out due to illness.

Confirmed #LFC team v Arsenal: Mignolet, Flanagan, Cissokho, Toure, Skrtel, Sakho, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Suarez, Sturridge

So Akpom did make the bench and it's true about Wilshere
No surprises in the starting eleven.

shame about the injuries. we really need 2-3 attacking players on the bench, capable of changing the game.

Our bench is awful, nothing we can do to change the game.

Really hope that Ozil is central, not Rosicky.

Reckon Giroud will get eaten alive by their back 3, don't think he'll have enough support with three playmakers behind him. Walcott, Podolski, and Gnabry are going to be missed.

Need Szczesny to be rock solid and inspired if required.
Hope Kos and Per are well in tune today.

Not sure about that.

Weak bench again. Imagine if we had just a couple of Theo, Poldi, Ox, Wilshere, Flamini and Gnabry.

Our injury record is ridiculous. We've been top of the injury league the enitre season. I'm sick of this shit. It feels like the club are never going to fully adress this problem.

So far not looking good.

Monreal is the only real 'attacking' player we can bring on, if we need to stretch the pitch. Otherwise, the starting XI are going to have to do this on their own. Really need at least one of Poldi/Ox/Theo badly - it's ridiculous that they're all out.

Bench

Hope we see Ramsey-Caz-Oz click.

first 11 has to get it done today somehow. very little penetration in the team, which exacerbated when players have heavy kegs.

..and it's been like this for most of the season. wtf is going on at the club?

We look like we mean business in those suits.(even though we probably are gonna bomb)

You'd swear the bench was going to start with the amount of hysteria it generates.
It clearly lacks firepower but it's up to the starting attack to do the business.

--- Wilshere -- Flamini

Walcott -- Ox -- Gnabry

----- Podolski

Injured front 6. Not bad!

We should have everyone back by December.
