PL: Arsenal v Fulham | Sunday, April 18 | KO: 13:30 BST | Sky Sports

Gabriel likely starting to cover for Xhaka's LB position, seeing Granit is slow on the turn. Strange that Cedric is not starting tho, must be carrying a knock or something.

I'd go for Gabriel over Mari any day to be fair but I think it would do our Europa chances the world of good if he found a back 4 and stuck with it till the end of the season. The one area of the team that I don't feel needs rotated is defence unless you've got someone like Tierney who can pick up an injury or two.

Watch out for Ola Aina, Lukman and Maja

 

[AberGooner]

Didn't actually notice Ryan was starting. Had a great game versus Villa, you'd like to think if he does well he might get a chance as Leno has been poor lately, although let's hope he doesn't need to impress today.

 

[9jagooner]

If Aina plays on the right, he’ll give Xhaka real fight from his full back position

 

[Taneruit]

This is why we desperately need another quality CM (preferably Bissouma). Ceballos/Elneny is relegation quality.

Exactly

Need to be able to rotate that midfield next year. Injuries aside Partey seems to struggle with fitness in general in the PL and I have strong doubts he'll reach Xhaka levels of resilience.

 

[Hunta]

Good to see Arteta putting Nelson and Nketiah on the bench over Balogun, even though he thinks both of them are rubbish.

 

[MikeVinna]

Decent enough line-up. That double pivot is absolute poverty but you have to use your squad I suppose. Attack looks tasty. That trio behind Laca are long overdue a start together. However, I wish Mikel would be more careful with Saka. Pepe has played a lot less this season so I’d rather have seen him..

Elite troll both of them leaving too.

Fulham have nothing to lose here they'll attack us just take advantage from the space they'll leave behind.

exactly
they'll attack from the start and we'll be 2 or 3 up by half-time

Midfield looks weak, but I think there's not going to be much action there anyway
It's just going to be attack versus defence

keep concentrating and this is an easy win

COYG!

 

[Lady_Gooner]

I genuinely didn’t think anyone cared about this game but then I realised we can still get 6th or whatever

 

[Lady_Gooner]

I am choosing peace on this beautiful Sunday so I genuinely believe Pepe isn’t dropped

 

[Olivier_Giroud]

Arteta - "Hold my beer"


Yep, another record that Arteta is going to break.

 

[Makingtrax]

Teta finally realising what a waste of money those Kia deals were.

 

[GDeep™]

Will be absolutely gobsmacked if we win here.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

Anyone confident in Matty Ryan starting?

 

[mirrorstare]

Good to see we're finally giving the Brighton keeper some development

Not sure what Laca is doing there tbh, if there's a player we need to rotate it's him

‘Saka and ESR are brilliant and fearless but you just hope there are the senior players in the Arsenal squad to guide them and get them onto good habits. Personally, I don’t think there are’

What Roy Keane giveth, Roy Keane taketh away.

Keane is right most of our senior players aren't leaders
