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 .
