PL: Burnley v Arsenal | Sunday February, 2 | KO: 14:00 GMT | Sky Sports

[Jasard]

Laca and Özil have no right based on form to walk in to this team. Neither are contributing end product at all.

 

[Riou]

Laca hasn't been great recently, but the way Arteta wants us to play, I will be very shocked if he drops him...would like us to move on from Özil and the 4-2-3-1 soon, and move towards a more 4-3-3 type formation...

Leno
Niles-Luiz-Papa-Saka
Lucas
Willock-Xhaka
Pepe-Laca-Auba
​

...surely Bellerin needs a break, and I would like to see Willock keep his place...think Gabby will be benched on Sunday.

This the last game before the 2 weeks "off" so I think Bellerin might play

 

[Marjorie]

Was it last season, or earlier this season, when Dyche went into that rant about foreign players cheating...when he has the gimpest of gimps, in Ashley Barnes playing for him

Earlier this season. The Ceballos game.

Lacazette to score. You heard it here first.

People say this every week. Bound to be right eventually
Burnley away doesn’t seem very Lacazette though.

 

[andeoch1]

There isn’t any team in the premiership that is ‘ very Lacazette though’ at the moment. Doesn’t deserve a start tbh

 

[Wagwaan]

Leno
AMN Sokratis Luiz Saka
Torreira Xhaka
Martinelli Willock Auba
Laca

Subs. Martinez, Holding, Bellerin, Guendo, Özil, Pepe, Nketiah.

Willock's last performance merits another start plus his strength would suit this game rather than Mesut.

Think Gabigol is undroppable at the moment so would see Pepe shifted for Auba.

Laca still brings alot to the team even though he needs a bloody goal!! His hold up play and strength and hounding will be needed in this game.

 

[Red London]

United are playing Wolves
Sp**s playing City
Chelsea playing Leciester.
If we dont win this then forget even being in touching distance of the top4 come May.

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Saka
Torreira Xhaka
Pepe Willock Martinelli
Aubameyang

Thats a direct team suited to away games.

You know what. I'd play Laca behind Auba instead of Willock just to see if it works. He would still put in that work rate to close people down so we would at least be ok defensively in the middle. Ifbit doesn't work then we just put in Willock for the 2nd half.

 

[RandomHero84]

I expect to see the default lineup with laca up top and Auba off the bench. Özil will start, as Arteta seems to like what he does for us in terms of ball retention and his work between the lines (although it's time for him to start posting some numbers).

Think we will win.

 

[Makingtrax]

This is a must win game to make sure we stay in the top half. Never thought I'd say that.

 

[Whickham]

3-1 Arsenal, We always win against them

 

[Oxeki]

It's January and Liverpool already have 70 points FFS. This season should end already

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Özil definitely shouldn't start.

If Holding is fit enough he has to start - Chris Wood will absolutely bully Luiz and Sokratis.

Have you seen holding the last two times he has been on the pitch for us? he has been beyond pathetic, he should be nowhere near the 1st team atm and I say that as a fan of his

 

[nicky47]

Would be very nice to win this. Bit of luck please.

I'm a fan of Holding but he has been awful since he has came back from injury. Needs a good preseason to fully learn a new style of play.
