The Arsenal v T'Leeds 5.30pm Aug 23rd, Emirates Stadium

[Mac76]

No match thread at 12.53 - GW

Anyway, 0-3 Stach hatter

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes, that was rather remiss

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dowman will be on the bench apparently.

Dowman will be on the bench apparently.

Not a big surprise, Havertz injury has created a vacancy so to speak

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And indeed he is.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Madueke starts, if what was reported on the training ground is reflected here today it will be Saka on the left and Madueke on the right.

Timber in for White (who I think is injured currently) so two changes from OT

[HCZ_Reborn]

And indeed he is.

At 15 I certainly don’t want him having to come on to get us the points, but equally I’d like to see him get more than an injury time cameo

[Marc Overmars]

Martinelli.

The beginning of the end.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Martinelli.

The beginning of the end.

Rather depends on how Madueke plays today and where Eze slots in when he comes here (as I get the feeling we want to use him as much through the middle as on the left)

Plus actually I think it might help Martinelli to be an impact sub (assuming he’s not sold before the window closes )
