Love Saturdays at the moment. Buzzing to watch us every week. Even if we end up coming up short I really just like having a proper reason to get excited about Arsenal.

That's a very exciting lineup. Hope it works.

I’ve been saying Vieria will start soon for Xhaka. Arteta is extremely predictable.

But also makes sense given how games are piling up for us to do these light rotations with the boys.

VIEIRAAAAAAA

Perfect time to give him a go in there. Hope it’s not one of those super creative lineups that ends up dissapointing - because while I expect to see Xhaka play most of the remaining games this season I’d like to see more Vieira.

Good team. Hope Eddie is back soon. Bench looks light of attacking impactful options without him.

Good line up. Great opportunity for Vieira.

Superb team. Let's go

banduan there was a sonic boom experienced in the midlands just earlier this morning! still alive and kicking so win will have to do

Interesting. Tomyiasu in to provide more cover defensively with Vieira playing and not Xhaka?

    Personally expecting creativity and attacking support from him. Running advanced of Saka (inside and outside), other times ground passes into space.

    HomeSteak I don't think so. Wrong side of the pitch and White isn't exactly poor defensively or more attacking by nature. I think it's just an easy area to rotate for some fresh legs given we played on Wednesday.

    Let's see how this works. Vieira has his chance to impress

    They're watching White's fatigue and that's most of it, surely. Can't argue with one or two experiments in this match. In some ways against this mediocrity it's better to fool around a little bit with the selection than put the gold-plated but tired first choice XI under pressure.

    It at home, fresh legs etc. but by all accounts Viera is knocking on the door and personally don't consider White gold-plated! I guessed Zinchenko for rotation given he's made 7 consecutive starts almost right after returning to full training, and could do with another leader out there on Wednesday. Fully expect Xhaka to start and captain that outfit.

    Even if Viera is knocking on the door, only minimal expectation I have of him today is to offer some ounce of team continuity on the road to a win. Will be grateful to him for that alone.
