    Arsenal v Leeds United, 19:56 GMT (06/01, BBC One).

    All FA Cup Third Round ties start a minute later than usual asking everybody to think about their mental health.


    Most importantly though, Martinelli to start.

    Artetaball v Bielsaball.

    Strange feeling, actually looking forward to Arsenal matches - even if they don’t end with the result we want, it’s still fascinating getting these little glimpses of what we could be in a few months time.

    Both sides have bigger concerns than a cup run at the moment, so I can see us both rotating heavily for this one - still a good chance to get some minutes in returning legs, and for Arteta to stress-test some of the younger players though. Should still be plenty to take interest in...

    If we can avoid KIAs and MIAs against Dirty Leeds it'll be a top result. Assume the entire first team will be rested for this.

    Not sure I agree with a minute of prayer for the lunatics at the FA though, or whatever crackpot lot has hijacked football with their shitty agenda. The irony. How far are they going to take this crap? And when there's a genuine reason for a minute's silence, how devalued is it going to be?

    Next year will be for the whole 90 minutes and play the game in silence.

    really hope Arteta plays a whole second-string side for this - we aren't going to win it and with such a thin squad we need to focus on the league and Europa league.

    it's a good chance to field players like Mavropanos for some much-needed game time and to see how they get on.

    the only exception would be Laca - he needs to play his way through the shite form he's in

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Much weaker teams than us have won the FA Cup.

    Let’s face it, we’ve got little to play for in the League, so let’s win this fucker.

    We should definitely be going for this and the EL.

    The league is dead.

    Don't agree - IF - and it's a big if - we could put a run together everyone else's results are so variable that we could easily make up the ground over 4-5 games

    I'd definitely focus on that and not risk important players on the FAC - anything else is naive IMO

    Arsenal: Martinez, Sokratis, David Luiz, Holding, Nelson, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Lacazette, Pepe.
    Subs: Leno, Mavropanos, Ceballos, Willock, Saka, Martinelli, John-Jules.

    Martinelli on the bench.

    Arteta out.
