Happy relegate Troy Deeney day

lorddulaarsenal

Spose we oughta have a match thread seeing as it’s the last league game of the season

Beans on toast for us veggies

Salt Bae hacked steak for you animals

Like to savour Mustafi, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Sokratis and Holding for one last time of poss

flobaba

Spose so.

One last time. Be gone 2020.

Claudius

Er, Baba Flo - you have one more game after this.

There'll be no more Mustafi. He got injured just in time to prevent a summer transfer. Wily one.

I actually want to see Troy blubbering at centrefield as a bunch of softies send him to the second tier. So please give us a strong team. Throw them all on for the first half.

Wearing the new home kit today

Hattrick for Auba today could see him pick up another golden boot. It would be good if our strikers bagged a few before the FA Cup final I guess.

HomeSteak

Watford has won 2 games away from home all season. Conceded 34 goals away from home, we all know what that means.

I would rest all of them. Don't give a shit who gets relegated, we cannot miss any of the big boys for the final.

Au revoir, Doy Treeney!

Like someone mentioned a while back though, our players never seem to do better after an extended rest, an international break, getting some time off, etc. We only have one big boy, and it would be the height of bad luck if he chose this specific game to pick up his first notable injury in an Arsenal shirt.

HomeSteak

Full team: Martinez, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Luiz, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock, Pepe, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Xhaka is on 9 yellow cards, if he gets one today will he miss the final? Same for Pepe & Kolasinac who are on 4. Bellerin is out with an injury.

Looks we've gone close to full strength

Happy to see the return of the 4 man back line and to see Niles back in the side.

Come on Joe, win yourself a place in the cup final.

If that's true then Xhaka absolutely should not start today.

Nah, the 10 yellow reset would have been a while ago. The 5 yellow reset was at the end of December I think.

I agree with a strong team. Let’s cream them

Qwiss

Possibly close to the cup final team. Hope everyone comes through unscathed.

Klaus

Prefer this lineup and shape so much to the ones we've been playing lately, in principle. Hopefully it'll come off well on the pitch.

So no worries about him getting suspended then, barring a red card?
