Bench:
Martinez

Rosický
Ramsey
Walcott
Podolski
Sanogo

 

I'd rest Sanchez for this one, can;t think of many other games we'll get the chance to. I'd say rest Welbeck as well but we don't have a backup...

 

Sanogo is back. I'd be tempted to rest Sanchez and play Podolski, Campbell or Walcott.
I was also thinking give Rosicky a start as well

 

Sanogo has the co-ordination of a newborn deer. He doesn't count as backup. I'd rather play Joel through the middle if we're resting the Fresh Prince (Welbeck)

 

.

Yes, rest our only inform attacker.

 

And 1 man team.

 

Been disappointed with the OX lately. I thought he would kick on this season, but if anything, he is getting worse. I thought he was shocking against Hull. Not sure what the problem is. He is getting regular game time and the talent is there. I am not a big fan, but instead of the OX, I would start Podolski. At least he has a goal in him.

 

Hoping we put a few goals past them to give us some confidence, expecting a win.

 

Arsenal team to play Burnley: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis, Cazorla, Welbeck
Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Rosicky, Ramsey, Walcott, Podolski, Sanogo

 

Flamini and Arteta at home?? Seriously.

At least let Rosicky play if Ramsey aint fully fit.

 

Was hoping we'd name a more ambitious midfield, but Wenger's gonna wenger

 

Rosicky is the only real alternative in midfield due to our current injury list. Perhaps with our makeshift back line he's opted for flamini and Arteta together instead of putting in rosicky who has had less game time and is more offensive.

That said I think flamini has been poor this season and I wouldn't have him in our starting lineup until he is looking more in form.

 

Is Rambo available? Why not use him?

 

He's obviously not back to full fitness which is why he is on the bench...

 

Come on Arsenal!

 

Any decent links guys? Cheers in advance

What do we have to do to get a penalty these days?

 

We're a one man team
