Forgotten that Kolasinac plays at Atalanta!
Really hoping we see Calafiori here. Pretty sure we will be Jorginho-Rice-Havertz in midfield, and Trossard up top. Would like Sterling to start here.
Rice in for Jorginho and Jesus in for Trossard. A little surprising. I would have guessed that that would have been the team for the City game. Not sure if Timber and Jesus can start both this game and the City game.
Edit: Partey too, I guess.
Why the fuck is Jesus captain over Gabriel?
Surprised Timber playing again too. Worried about that knee. Chances of Partey being injured after these 3 games?
Havertz back in midfield see how we get on 🥲
Don't lose and no injuries please 🙏🏼
Typical risk free approach. Hope it get us a win here then if we are prioritising this.
Gasperini 3 at the back system is unique and won't be easy to play against. Good test for us
Clrnc risk free? What would you have picked?
Partey has become Ironman?
Credit to Arteta for not compromising our momentum. One game at a time it is.
Claudius i would have played Nwaneri or Sterling but no big deal. We win here
Im pretty sure this is the only lineup that makes sense for today. Jesus is better in the CL than in the league, so it makes sense to start him. I don't love Kai in the midfield, but for today it could work. Jorginho can't play 3 games in a week, and we can bring off the bench (as well as Sterling and Trossard) if/when we have to.
Just got into the ground no real surprises in the team from Arteta going for his strongest side. Hopefully we can get off to a good start.
Is there any benefit to topping the league/ finishing high?
daredevil 2 fewer matches.
Yeah, if we finish in the top 8 (i think?) we don't have to play an additional playoff round.
Hopefully get CL Jesus here today. Subs will be interesting too with City on Sunday.
Qwiss
He needs a big game tonight
Anyone got a stream? First non league cup Arsenal game in over 10 years I've not had access to.
invisibleman18 -- better have ad block, and not mind some pauses

Clrnc me too. I think we need to start using our squad more. Hopefully both get at least 20 minutes here.
Qwiss I don’t think sterling was ramped up properly by Chelsea. Remember he had been frozen out. And Nwaneri probably also needs to ramp up for real competition. So I’m not super surprised. Hopefully we see both by 70th
It's the Trossard double reffing the game
