Mancini was on about getting a midfielder in to cover yaya while he's away. Clearly no likey de Jong no more
It appears Oxlade Chamberlain has made the squad for the game tonight.
Szczesny uploaded a picture of him sleeping on the bus:
I doubt he'll be starting but it's a better option to have on the bench. Lets hope we don't need to use him though!
Why would you have the ox on the bench? Villa will sit and if he's needed it'll be cos we will be throwing everything at villa or be cruising
I didn't mean to say that I wouldn't start Oxlade, but I meant I doubt Wenger will. I think he's a better option to have on the bench than, say, Arshavin or Chamakh when we're chasing a goal. With that in mind, if we use him it'll probably be when we're a goal down. Cruising is a bit optimistic but we can hope!
Arsenal Arsenal.com Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Frimpong, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.
Conquelin at RB is a bit risky since he has not played there for a while. Did Miquel pickup an injury?
Arsenal Arsenal.com Substitute: Almunia, Squillaci, Benayoun, Arshavin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh.
Happy with that. Lots of energy and strength in the team. Powerful line-up.
Great team
It's good that the pace and power in the team isn't lost.
Coquelin and Frimpong parachuted in and Chamberlain on the bench. A Happy Christmas to us fans from Wenger. That's pretty much what most of us would have wished for 🙂 No excuses, now tear crummy Villa apart.
Subs: Almunia, Squillaci, Benayoun, Arshavin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh.
Miquel's not on the bench. He can't be injured as well, ffs!
Coq at right back is an interesting one. Glad Chamberlain is on the bench.
Exactly the team I wanted to see 🙂 3 points and no injuries pleeeease
Coquelin has never played well at right back, but he has the ability to be awesome there. Hope he can get his head around it tonight, because he could be useful there until Sagna's back.
Wow the fullback positions are cursed. I'm scared for Coquelin and TV now.
We should smash them with that team
Anyone got a good stream? x

Wenger doesn't hesitate at throwing Coquelin in at the deep end, does he?
N'Zogbia on his day can be quite a handful. Good for him that he's next to two leaders in Vermaelen and Per.
Streams, please?
