I was at the first game of the season (and possibly my last for a while). Time for revenge!
Come on you gooners! :scarf:

Villa are not very good. Should be a comfortable win.
Then again we said that last time.
Who's the ref for this one?

While there's no doubt it was entirely Anthony Taylor's fault that we somehow lost the game at The Emirates, Villa for some reason do seem to be a bit of a bitch to overcome for us in our recent history.
If we don't beat them away from home (where we are brilliant and they are timid to say the least), then it's genuinely pathetic. They can barely score, have just lost to Sheffield United and have about a 20% possession average. Withstanding another corrupt referee, this has to be an absolute banker considering our form and the big rest we have prior to the game.
I'd like to see Gnabry rewarded for his performance, especially as at this stage he's still a mostly unknown quantity and could do serious damage to pub teams if he is unleashed. I think Wenget will go for an On Paper™ strongest team though (I assume Theo is most likely out for this).
Szczesny
Sagna
BFG
Koscielny
Gibbs/Monreal
Arteta
Wilshere
Rosicky
Ozil
Giroud
Cazorla
1-3 (Giroud, Cazorla, Podolski).
0-3
Ozil hattrick
Woy
Sagna
Merkyl
Kos
Gibbs
Arteta
Wilshere
Gnabry
Rosicky
Cazorla
Giroud
On form, I would go with that lot. I can't see a repeat of the farce that was the home game.
Don't think it's been decided yet. There's nothing on the PL website yet.Quote:

As for the team:
Ches
Sagna
Kos
BFG
Gibbs
Arteta
Ozil
Wilshere
Santi
Giroud
Walcott
I'd much rather start Gnabry ahead of Wilshere with Santi moving to the centre but I doubt Wenger will opt for that.
I heard yesterday that Theo's out for potentially 4 weeksQuote:
