Predicted Lineup
lol xhaka plays every game. Give Matt Smith debutHope Cedric is fit so that we can rest all 4 first 11 defenders. Also would like to see tomi at LCB for us. If not, like last game Gabriel will play I guess
Turner
Cedric - holding - tomiyasu - Tierney
Lokonga
Vieira - xhaka
Marquinhos - Eddie - Nelson
They are high pressing possession based team; small club (8000 seat stadium) in a small town that in recent years have punched well above their weight leading to two consecutive Norwegian championships against powerhouses such as Rosenberg and Molde. They have also had some notable scalps in Europe including beating Roma 6-1, Celtic over two legs in a knockout phase, 5-1, and then AZ over two knockout legs. The manager was linked to Brighton.Solid 2-0 for our B team would be nice.
I know nothing about this team. Are we dealing with the finest fishermen here or do these guys play decent ball? Possession or counter attacking?

I think he might be on bench for this one.Just play Nwaneri.
That's a shameNwaneri is not eligible I think
That's a shame
What I like about playing these fixtures when the first team are doing well is all the youngsters are buzzing and want a piece of the action. We saw this under Wenger in the league cup games at home where we’d smash a premiership sides first team with some yoots. Marquinhos must fancy it when he sees his fellow young Brazilian doing his thing. It must feel a little bit more special putting on that jersey in front of a packed home stadium with us top of the league.
The finest fishermen that can play. They almost went bankrupt in 2017. At that time they played in the Norwegian Second Division. The club had to call private companies and ask people to pitch in to keep them afloat. Their budget at that time was around £1.5m.Solid 2-0 for our B team would be nice.

Some of the arrogance in this thread is nauseating. These guys narrowly lost 3-2 at the San Siro to AC Milan, beat Roma 6-1 at home and drew 2-2 away, before beating Celtic and AZ to reach the quarter finals of the Conference league last season. They may not be a European superpower but they are no mugs.
