PL | Arsenal v Huddersfield Town | November 29, 2017 | 19:45 GMT

[A_G]

-Arsenal have won 11 Premier League home matches in a row - their best since a run of 13 at Highbury Stadium between February and November 2005.

-Huddersfield Town are hoping to become only the third team, after West Ham United and Hull City, to win their first PL match at Emirates Stadium.

-The Terriers could also become only the second newly-promoted team in PL history to beat both Arsenal and Manchester United in that season, after Sunderland in 1996/97.

-Alexis Sanchez has been directly involved in 17 goals in 18 PL matches against promoted clubs (13 goals, four assists).

Give Ramsey a breather ahead of United imo

@American_Gooner match threads have correlated with bad results recently, it's not looking good guys...

Ozils dose of Catalonian flu seems to be lingering on so do we play Wilshere and keep Ramsey & Xhaka together, or do we play Welbeck and play Wilshere & Xhaka in the middle giving Ramsey a rest (as suggested by @American_Gooner ?

This should be the only dilemma facing Wenger, the rest of the team should be as it was vs Burnley. I personally would start the same team as Burnley with Wilshere in for Iwobi and rest Ramsey later in the game.

I did consider starting two in a row but didn't want to be considered greedy

First start in the league for Maitland Niles. Give a breather to Kolasniac.

 

[Brown Gooner]

Cech
Chambers Per Holding
Bellerin Jack AMN Kolasinac
Nelson Welbeck
Lacazette

Huddersfield will park the bus and aim for a 0-0. I’d give the back three a rest before United and put Sanchez, Ramsey and Xhaka on the bench and use them only if needed.

If we are winning then Lacazette goes off at the hour mark and Giroud comes on.

You're welcome to post a match thread whenever there isn't one for an upcoming game, there isn't really a rule for them.

Rest a few of the sprinters & swat them aside with minimal effort. We have to be at our peak fighting condition when Mourinho brings his sloggers to the Emirates on Saturday.

We've been playing a second XI midweek in Europe all season, we're finally on a good run in the league, yet A-M wants to rest players?

Play the first XI, bank the 3 points, then look to thrash United come the weekend.

You don't feel tired when you're winning.

Not to mention Hudders aren't pushovers in current form . Just had a difficult game against City to sharpen them up .

It's not on the tele where I live. Would have to depend on horrible streams

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Huddersfield is a very organised team and hard to beat, this is not a gimme. If we go into it with the 'three points in the bag' attitude, we'll come undone.

Same boat for me. Please post streams you find.

I think Wilshere should start with Ramsey and Xhaka behind with Welbeck coming on later depending on how things are going for Ramsey.

I don't see this as the phase where we need to rest players. Ramsey and a host of others have not played midweek this season, they've had more rest than normal. Though we should certainly look to utilise the full squad a bit more with the festive period coming up. That doesn't mean just resting players it means players getting minutes in the league.

Though they did basically run themselves into the ground against a rampant City side. I'd hope they are a bit tired and mentally deflated after losing that way. Whereas while we may be tired as we went to the wire against Burnley we should be riding the crest after great results against Sp**s and Burnley.

And as I said above we've had a lot of rest this season we haven't had in recent seasons.

 

[krengon]

I agree with resting Ramsey.. Need him fit for Manu and 1 game a week seems to be doing him good, can't risk his hammys going again, so I'd like for us to take a careful approach with him.. He can be an option on the bench if needed though.
