Just play the second strings. Hopefully the injury returnees can use this to get some minutes in their legs.
Prediction
Oxford 0-3 Arsenal
No repeat of the Nottingham Forest debacle
Arteta speaks

is there anyone from our youth who can play uptop?
Indeed he isn't, this is the perfect opportunity to blood a few of them. An important cup but not a priority given next two matches approaching. Hopefully having some feature gives them a sign there is a route into the first team for them and stops them doing an omari Hutchinson.Sure. But Arteta isnt a fan of our youth players.
I expect turner. Cedric, holding, Tomi, Tierney, el neny, sambi, and viera to start. If we rotate in academy players for remaining roles still a very strong team compared to what Oxford will put out.Fa cup is more serious than crapao cup and we the most successful club i want us make 11 changes but also i don't want us get out from 1st round again. So i dont expect full rotation we'll have 6 days rest before NLD.
Don’t think Cedric will play, cup tying him would complicate a possible transfer.

Could have Smith Rowe as a false 9 with Marqy and Vieira out wide, Ødegaard-Lokonga-Elneny in midfield.Full rotation obviously but who plays up front?
This is why ronaldo is the GOAT goat for me , won the beautiful super cup here yet is a aforethought football history. Don't seem right to me..Xhaka was talking about adding #Number15 to the cabinet in his post Newcastle interview, great mentality to have that.
And as @Pop Tart brilliantly pointed out, give us a chance to win the English Super Cup too!
any idea about nelson? if he's available then Ødegaard doesn't have to playCould have Smith Rowe as a false 9 with Marqy and Vieira out wide, Ødegaard-Lokonga-Elneny in midfield.
I think they were talking about Nelson returning around the NLD. Might be a bit early for this one.any idea about nelson? if he's available then Ødegaard doesn't have to play
