team vs Arsenal

Aguero, Dzeko

Only good news is that looks like Ramsey got injured last kick of the Wales match last night and is a doubt.

It's a toss up whether Mangala gets a start, or I wonder if he might wait easier opposition or the League Cup for his first run out?

Yeah, i'd go with that Dawg

Pace, pace, pace....that's what Arsenal have and now they have Welbeck who is tall and physical...so for me Mangala starts if fit.

Might be wrong - but wasn't that Mangala playing for France against Serbia in the Kolorov free kick video? If so, he must be fit now.

any news on Fernando as he limped off with a thigh injury against stoke.

Talk of Mangala being saved for the Munich game. Not really expected to win that and we have more games in the group to catch up. If he plays well, leave him in for Chelsea.

Must admit, I'd rather have is alleged pace against Ox, Sanchez and Welbeck than DeM....he's been training now for 5 weeks, so surprised he isn't fit to start.

well there it is no jovetic or Fernando but zabba & mangala both included so too Lampard.

Let's hope Fernandinho can recapture the form from last season...whenever he's played so far (limited I know), he's looked decidedly slow and nowhere up to speed.

What about this?

Give Nasri a break and I'm sure Lampard has always done well against Arsenal. Free kicks, long balls for Yaya/Aguero and Dzeko to get on the end of?

I must admit, I can't wait to see Lampard playing, just to see how he would get on in our team.

Don't want to see us play a 2 in midfield against Arsenal,especially if one of them is Lampard
