    Arsenal will be wearing our away kit tonight, as both of Basel's kits clash with our home kit.

    I'm glad Wenger is playing a 92% strongest side. He's taking this competition seriously.

    Easy. Is this the first time we've worn an away kit at home?

    Also nice lineup and close to our strongest lineup. Would be good to see Xhaka play the DM role and see how it works with two attack minded midfielders in Ozil and Cazorla.

    "They have been quick
    They have been sharp
    Just the way they wanted to start "

    Walcott is playing the best football of his career.

    Great goal

    Walcott playing like a man possessed and Sanchez has finally found his niche as CF. Long may it continue.

    Wow, Walcott. Has made his doubters, me included, look very stupid this season.
