Pre-match views from the forum:
Gunners1616: “No big turnover here. If you mess around guys like Watkins, Diaby and Bailey can cause you trouble.
Would play the same team as vs. Brighton but with Tomiyasu coming in for White and ESR for Jesus.
Need White, Jesus and Trossard fresh for Bayern.”
SupersoakerArsene: “Aston Villa is missing Luiz en Kamara. Their central midfield duo.
Now you can see McGinn with Tielemans or that English young ”talent” with the long name I guess?
If they play McGinn – Tielemans, it’s a defo must-win. Tielemans is oke on the ball, but he can’t handle our midfield power…
I guess Jorginho is benched since he will start away vs Bayern. The old man can’t start 3 games in a row in such a short time.
Raya
White – Saliba – Gabriel – Tomiyasu
Ødegaard – Rice – Havertz
Saka – Trossard – Martinelli.
Might try Partey and sub Havertz for a rest or sub Trossard, since Leo is more of a presence when he comes off the bench…
Can’t see Teta start any guys like Nelson, Nketiah, Vieira or ESR. Only ESR has a small chance.
Why doesn’t Vieira play any minutes tho? Not against Villa, but other sides in the BPL?”
LookingForEric: “We would’ve played 5 days ago so we should be starting our main eleven really. Start the main eleven, win comfortably and then rest players around the 60th minute”
