  • Arsenal vs Palace, League cup quarter final, 7.30pm

Arsenal XI: Raya, Partey, Timber, Kiwior, Tierney, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Sterling, Trossard, Jesus

Subs: Setford, Saliba, Gabriel, Kacurri, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz

    Don Pacifico Timber at CB feels like someone we should be resting. Good to see Jorginho, Merino and Sterling getting minutes (as well as Ethan).

      Weird back 4 for a bunch of reasons.

        Qwiss yeah. Timber needs a rest. Saliba doesn't. Happy to see Tierney again. He has a part to play this season.

        Strong enough team for the most realistic trophy of the season. Let's go

            Clrnc I don't get this selection combined with the Everton game. So we tested Partey in the league so he could play right back tonight? Just play Heaven or someone instead.

                Looks like MLS owns left back for now. Absolute credit to him. I’ve been impressed with his character on the field.

                  Qwiss we don’t have defenders. We have midfielders. Partey leaves us blunt on the right, but I’d rather we rested some defenders today. Arteta is juggling.

                  The consistent thing is Tomi is always out. We should buy him out and move on end of season because he isn’t offering any relief to anyone

                      Claudius

                      Was so impressed with his bravery with his positioning and on the ball. One of the few players playing passes into the middle.

                          What did I say the other week, Kiwior is a weed. Doesn't have the aggression to play CB in England.

                          0-1 Palace. Huge mistake by Kiwior, don't think we have 2 goals in us with no Saka

                          Expect better than that from Kiwior

                          Kiwior always got these mistakes in him.

                          goon

                          It does kind of make a mockery of some of the reasoning I came out with behind not playing Ethan though…

                            Thought the game was at 8, guess I haven’t missed much.
