We normally do get past the first match in the league cup but we've got a tough opponent this year. Southampton are playing well (despite the exodus) and don't need to worry about resting players as much as we do.
Unless Wenger is prepared to play Hayden at CB it will probably mean one of Per or Kos being forced to play.
Anyway, probable lineup:
Ospina
Bellerin
Chambers
Kosicenly
Monreal (Gibbs if he's injured)
Flamini
Santi
Rosicky
Podolski
Campbell
Sanogo
I hope Wenger has in mind which 11 players he wants to start the NLD and then play none of them in this. But because we're so short in defence, I'm guessing it we'll have something like the team you picked. Wenger played Podolski in the no.9 role today after he took Welbeck off. If that's the case, Sanogo (who has a hamstring injury I think) won't play. Maybe Jack plays.
Little bit chance of a classic Wenger punt on a youngster. Crowley?
Will be exciting to watch full debuts for Campbell and Ospina.
If Diaby survived 90 mins recently, he may get a chance to be injured in this.

Campbell hatrick, lose 3-4. Campbell sold in Jan in p/ex for Reid from wurst spam.

Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
3-0
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.
Sanogo has gone into his injury spells, not even Wenger knows when he'll return. Otherwise I would have started him at front with Campbell taking Ox's position.
I don't we should be in for wholesale changes, play a side to win. wins bred confidence regardless of competition..... and the longer the quadruple lasts the better.
will Southampton rest players, probably they still value premiership survival first.
