Predicted Lineup

Prediction

Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Arsenal

 

[The Ducking Duck]

Are they good or not? I thought they were good last season but then i saw them against United.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Watched and rooted for them against Man Utd last year in the semi finals of the EL, they massively disappointed.

0-2 and move on.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Just saw Man city playing in Thursday? Man football fell off. But good for us they'll have two days rest meanwhile us got 4 days.

Bilbao are good team started league well. Shouldn't disrespect them specially at thier ground.

CL league phase you don't need to win all games so even a point here is good but considering both team quality we can win.

Dont be a pu**y. We will win 4-0.

 

[Buhry]

I reckon we should play Mosquera as RB here. Really cant let timber play full game here with mam city incoming need him fresh for that game.

Not a bad shout at all if Saliba is fully fit.

Considering both team quality yes we should imo. But it's straightforward game

Straight forward if it was home. Away from home any decent team can beat Arsenal

 

[merciarsene]

Which injuries do we most want to avoid - Timber, Gabriel, Raya, Gyokeres. So lets rest them

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

i can see Arteta will use Rice-Zubi-Merino again

 

[Rex Caudillo]

Went there on a stadium tour there two months back. Incredible stadium even though the old one was great as well.

Nah was middle of July and was staying in Bilbao for a day or two.

Stadium right in the city centre so ended up seeing it.

I’d like to see White start at RB. Save Timber for City.
Also stick with Mosquera, maybe give Saliba 30 mins then start vs City.
Also Nwaneri to continue for Ødegaard, he needs mins.

These to share game time, assuming we are comfortable.
Eze/Martinelli
Madueke/Dowman
Calafiori/Hincapie

i meant not straight forward lol my bad. alot of people here underrating Bilbao who are good team and as you said it's away game if our players don't turn up we end up losing

 

[dino bravo]

Change the full backs, give Wilo 20 mins to get his eye in before Sunday. Rest of team should stay the same, Dec can sit this one out again.

We made light work of them a couple months back, but this one actually matters and is away from home. Nico Williams out is huge, although he barely got a kick when we played them. No injuries and any win will do. COYG!

Isn't White injued?

 

[Tnegs]

Can’t rotate too much if we want a win here. It’s early in the season and the players are fresh I think we should be able to manage the fixtures. Last thing we need is to finish outside the top 8 and end up with an extra 2 high pressure games in the playoffs.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yeah White still out. look like we'll go with Timber again unless Arteta use Mosquera as RB
