Newcastle United v Arsenal - Sunday 29th December - 13:30 (Sky Sports 1)

Barcodes are in good form, but we really should exploit their defence if we attack like we did against West Ham. They apparently were outplayed by Stoke before they went down to nine men and if Remy is up front on his own, he might be isolated and kept in check.

Koscielny should hopefully be back to further solidify the defence, although Vermaelen has been fine. I'd hope we go for a more attacking line-up, but WUMger will probably pack the midfield in what he sees as a tough away game. And Flamini, Wilshere/Rosicky will play because he'll want to rotate. Rotation would be safer against Cardiff at home though.

There is no way Wumger will start Arteta his 3rd game in 6 days IMO. Flamini would be fresh to play against the brute of Cabaye and Tionte. :coffee:

Play strongest team then change it up for Cardiff at home and give key players a rest there.
