We had a few jaded legs maybe at the end of the game but we’ll see how everybody recovers for Sunday. Do we have anybody back for Sunday? Danny Welbeck no, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back in full training today [Friday], and Mathieu Debuchy as well. They might be a bit short. on Welbeck… There is a good chance that he will be available for England. It’s difficult to know. He had a little knee problem and will go out today for the first time. We have to wait for the response to that to know if he responds in a positive way. He could be fit very quickly. on whether he will have to play in FA Cup final to play for England… Certainly yes because if he is not available for the FA Cup final, I can’t see him being competitive enough for England. on Oxlade-Chamberlain playing in the final… It’s not impossible because he starts full training today. We’ll see how he responds to that. on Welbeck being in England squad but not Oxlade-Chamberlain… The difference is that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has not played in any competition for a long time. That lack of competition takes some time to come back to a good competitive level. Danny Welbeck has not been out for a long time and he has nothing at all on any scan, just bone bruising on his knee. That’s just the pain that will decide if he is fit or not. on if he’s changed training to help jaded players… Yes, we have our medical tests to see how everyone recovers. We have given a lot physically and mentally at Manchester United and it [the time before the Sunderland game] was a bit short maybe for us to recover completely. This time we have a bit longer to recover and we have our tests to see how well everybody recovers. I might rest one or two maybe but overall I believe that the team will be similar to the team that played on Wednesday night. Starting XI + Subs: please log in to view this image
I expect to see quite a few players bust a gut in this game to try and earn an FA Cup place. Wilshere and Walcott in particular will be hoping for game time to prove themselves. It would be nice to finish off the league with a win and I think we will have enough to beat west Brom. The main thing is to be careful not to pick up injuries. If anyone is getting kicked off the park or gets a knock they should be taken off. We don't want to lose any of our key players before the final.
Happy to be able to say for the first time this season, off to the Emirates to catch the game. . Will my seat remember me when he sees me?
Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Coquelin, Cazorla, Wilshere, Ozil, Alexis, Walcott Subs: Szczesny, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud Theo up front maybe? Good to see Chambo on the bench. Maybe a chance to get some minutes before the cup-final if he's needed off the bench.
Great goal from Walcott. Then the commentator starts talking about how finishing is one of walcotts weaknesses. Idiot lol. Get in!
I cant watch the game unfortunately, but I'm really glad Walcott seems to be showing his quality. I'm glad he's been given a chance, and even more that we are scoring and winning!
