Arsenal V Sunderland, 22nd Feb 1500

[fakeyank]

Must Win.

Cant take the fatigue from the Bayern game.

[Marc Overmars]

Has to be a win otherwise we can start to kiss the title goodbye.

[Munchies]

---------------Ches------------------

Jenks-----Merts--------Kos--------Monreal

--------Arteta--------Rosicky-----------

Gnabry--------------Cazorla------------Podolski

-------------Olivier Giroud---------------

Expecting players to get rested for this. Pods has to start.

Hopefully Verm is back, but that's what you get with only one back up CB

[fakeyank]

3-0

Santi hattrick

[Master Splinter]

Apart from the defence, we can make quite a few changes if all the players are knackered. I presume Gibbs is out for a while again. Which could be as detrimental as losing Feo and Ramsey.

Also, the Bergy statue is being unveiled before this.

[pmakgreb]

back to the bread and butter and imperitive we win this if we are to challenge for the title, made all that little more difficult with the exertions of last night but id expect many changes to the team.

Ches, Jenks, Mert, Verm (if fit) monreal, arteta, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud, Gnarby.

That only leaves mertesacker as the only player who played the full 90 mins on wednesday and should be good enough to pick up 3 points.

[JonasTC]

I want Sanogo to play again

I like that line up... is Ox fit or is he injured? If he is injured, how long is he out for?

Subs for this could be: Flappy, Sagna, Kos, Flamini, Ox (if fit), Sanogo, someone with pace

[Bumble]

I would keep with sanogo. Although I don't see any world beater there, but he tries hard and should be given the easier game than the last two. Gnabry should play too if the ox is out. Arteta instead of flam no need for both. Sunderland have improved under poyet so it could be tricky after the match on Wednesday. But no feeling sorry for ourselves just get on with it and get three points.

2-0.
