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.
Martinelli has to play, if his ankle is feeling good. In fact it would be good to see both Gabriels get a start here.
ESR, Saka, Tierney and Laca on the bench - hopefully they won’t be needed.
Beyond that I’m not really fussed who plays and who doesn’t - wouldn’t even object to Partey getting a few more minutes in his legs (as long as he doesn’t play a full 90 / 120).

Auba had to pull out late due to a personal issue, hopefully it's nothing too serious. Presumably that's why we have 2 keepers on the bench now.
Sensible decision to rest Tierney and Smith Rowe.
Xhaka will probably need a rest for the league game. Shame.
Come on Arsenal.
Not a great contribution from Gabriel there.
Gabriel looking rusty
