The chance of new signings, especially with international fixtures, is -25%. What with the inevitable injuries, late arrivals and little bit fatigue, it will probably be a slog of a first game.

Anyway, hopefully the team is:

Szczesny

Sagan
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Gibbs

Arteta
Ramsey
Rosicky

Theo
Giroud
Cazorla


3-1 (Theo, Giroud, BFG, Benteke).

Come on Arsenal .
