Arsenal - Swansea - Sat 15:00 BST

Ramsey is out, he's been given a full 'pre-season' by the club according to Wenger. Giroud is also out but I believe Lucas and Le Coq are fit and so is Ozil despite going off injured in midweek.

With all that in mind i'd probably go with an unchanged line-up.

Happy now Yuv?

flobaba

Yup. Yummyness

What team do we root for anyway ? It's been a while.

flobaba

Nobody cares about this thread.

Close it.

yuv

who are the players expected to be tired (travelled, played a lot / late, etc?)

How are Swansea doing (haven't really followed...)?

Hope to see us back to the Chelsea/Basel mode....

I'm cool, Yuv completely blanked me but Flobs got my back!
Who is 11.13am, btw?

Good game to give Lucas P a start?

Swansea City have the best win percentage of any team in the Premier League away at Arsenal - 60%

Swansea also have the highest win percentage of any team vs Arsenal in Premier League history - 50%. Man Utd 46%, Liverpool 35% Leeds 33%

Expect a difficult match against our bogey team with a new manager.

Yeah potential banana skin this one

goon

At least it will be a normal shaped banana skin now that we've left the EU.

Interesting news about Ramsey.

Hopefully we'll benefit from this decision in the 2nd half of the season.

flobaba

We finally have a squad that can afford us to rest players and not rush them back from injury. Whoddathunk that would be important ?

lorddulaarsenal

Not yet left the EU

the swans always bring the ruckus to the emirates. this will be a bigger win than it appears to be on paper, especially with it coming after the international break

banduan

Swans love playing us - they win 50% of the fixtures (last 6 matches).

dreamlord

Bah, 2-0 to us.

That was the match Joel was wrecking havoc and we took him out, lost the match and killed our title hopes completely.

Think the loss in the previous season was even more ridiculous. Never get why we always do badly against them, their style should suit us to the core.
