A little strange playing Song on the left?
I’d opt for this line-up:

Almunia
Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Gibbs
——————Song—-
——-Cesc ——Nasri———–
——Arshavin—-RvP—–Dudu

Despite Arshavin’s below-par performances lately, I’d opt for him any day over Diaby and Eboue. He seemed a little a tired, so maybe at half time replace Arshavin with Ramsey. Sammy regains Arshavin’s right wing and Ramsey plays next to Cesc.

Rosicky is fit so he should start.the combo of him, Cesc,AA and RVP will be enough class on the pitch.The defence should stay the same except Gibbs for Clichy. Eboue,Ramsey and Diaby will feature and Eduardo may start but I think he will be on the bench.
Full commitment required,and let’s put this to bed.

Let’s have Nasri and Rosicky on the wings.

Hey i fully agree with the line up….edu.with Song behind the creative midfield of Nasri Cesc, eduardo n Rvp can do the finishing all supported by Arshavin.PERFECT.

I agree.

I can’t imagine an Arsenal without RVP lately but you’re spot on. If Eduardo is fit to play 75-90 minutes, he should start up front.

Speaking of great passes, eboue’s first touch through ball to put edu through on goal last game was frkn phenomenal!

I like the line up, but I’d start edu instead of RVP and only bring robin on if we’re in trouble. The way I see it rvp needs time off while edu needs match time. It would be nice for fab to come off relatively early for one the youngens, and nasri to swap with rosicky soon after half time as well.

I would like to see merida involved at some point in this game. I would give Sagna a rest and play eboue at right back.
