Arsenal - Preston, League Cup, Wednesday at 19h45 UK time

Mirth

MistaT Shame that Tomiyasu isn't fit ~~for this.~~

Clrnc

I would go with

Raya
Nichols Maldini Kiwior MLS
Nwaneri Jorginho Merino
Sterling Jesus Zinchenko

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Clrnc
This is spot on. I would even consider resting Raya tbh.

Don Pacifico

Sicario2 - Tier 1 to the point made above about Saliba (Claudius ), I think it'd be reckless to pick a 'keeper with no senior appearances in that backline. Players don't operate in a vacuum so there needs to be some more experience in organising the defence.

Clrnc

Don Pacifico Yep, even though its against a poor poor team that is languishing in 16th in the championship, but you still need a little semblance of experience. It's either Saliba or Raya playing there for me, although I think both playing would be ideal in an away game.

I think playing Saliba would be fine actually

Panda

I think he will go quite strong.
Raya
White-Saliba-Kiwior-MLS
Jorginho-Merino
Nwaneri
Sterling-Jesus-Martinelli

But I guess he will wanna play Zinchenko too?! So maybe instead of Merino as he has been playing MLS over Zinchenko at LB...

I'd put Nichols in for White and Kabia for Martinelli but that's 2 kids too far for Arteta.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

What happened to that Segoe Junior kid? He started in one Carling Cup game last season. Is he still with us?

lorddulaarsenal

He’s out on loan

lorddulaarsenal

Got today and tomorrow off work. Planning to sit and relax watching the game with a beer.

Any suggestions on what to have? Wish I could get hold of some Super Bock.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

lorddulaarsenal an ice cold Pelforth Brune.

lorddulaarsenal

Looks a bit dark and tangy for me.

Plumped for Carling!

Don Pacifico

Setford starts. Curious to hear how he does. Backline is pretty strong; feels unnecessary to be playing Timber.

USArsenal

Thats a way stronger lineup than expected. Only Nwaneri and Setford starting that are not normal first teamers. (and Nwaneri is kind of a first teamer). Its even a fairly strong bench.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

No MLS 😠

Panda

Oh god please let Timber survive.

That team better win this now.

MistaT

Damn man, Arteta has no chill

Qwiss

If we are going to play a strong team can we at least thump them?

USArsenal

I think he went for a stronger team because we're away and he wants to give our second stringer some game time (and people like Merino, Timber and Saliba some match sharpness for this weekend). Timber is the big risk here, but maybe he wants him to get his conditioning back up.
