Official Arsenal team and preview of Swansea at home

If Arsenal fans were looking for any help as the struggling Gunners aim to get our Premier League title challenge going again, perhaps you will see the fact that Swansea City will be without their manager Francesco Guidolin as a good omen. He is not seriously ill but has been taken in with a chest infection.

Knowing our luck though, the Swansea players will give extra effort for their absent boss but Arsenal just have to make sure that we do our own jobs properly and get the win we so badly need.

There are some changes to the Arsenal starting line-up which is hardly surprising after the lame effort the team put on at Old Trafford, but not many would have expected it to be Koscielny that dropped out for Mertesacker. The fact that the French defender is not even on the bench tells me that this was not a choice by the boss.

Welbeck also misses out but is on the bench along with the misfiring Theo Walcott, so Giroud is back as our centre forward with Alexis Sanchez and Joel Campbell either side and Mesut Ozil to supply the ammunition. Hopefully someone can start hitting the target.

Cech
Bellerin, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Monreal
Ramsey, Coquelin
Campbell, Ozil, Sanchez
Giroud

Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Elneny, Flamini, Walcott, Welbeck

This Arsenal XI and subs bench should be way too much for the visitors, but which Arsenal will we see tonight?

    1. no assist from ozil today , so what are the new excuses ????? Can’t we get a better no. 10 who will contribute with goals as well and try to tackle or put a fighting spirit in our team..
      I say again Ozil is the worst no. 10 Arsenal has had in the last 25 years…
      Pires wasn’t the strongest but he was skillful , good passer, great goal scorer and wid pace..

      Wait lets judge Ozil honestly
      HE CAN’T SHOOT
      HE CAN’T RUN
      HE CAN’T HEAD
      HE CAN’T TACKLE

      HE CAN PASS (Which every player does in the world)
      HE CARES LESS
      HE IS UNINTERESTED
      HE IS EXPENSIVE
      HE IS DULL & UNMOLTIVATING..

      1. Supreme…..what a load of crap from you. get of ozils back. Do you understand football? see how much he runs in the opponents half and his vision… sadly for him he has to pass to a donkey so STFU who did pires play with? you reckon giround is even a 10th of henry?????

  1. Losing to the mighty Swans, love it.
    I’ve lost all hope in Wenger i really have.

  2. KARMA BIETCH!!! you take off your best player on the pitch??? The result tonight is rightly deserved!!! KARMA BIETCH!!

  3. Why are the guys over there in London not throwing objects at this team? Why aren’t the fans avoiding going to the stadiums until Wenger is out? Why do we only complain on social media?

  4. Even manager less Swansea can beat Arsenal at home where as the team with the so called team with headless manager losing at home.

  5. Hahaha losing at home to Swansea. It just gets better and better. Bye Alexis, bye Özil, good ******* riddance Arsene. I suppose it was the refs fault in this game.
    Bye bye

  6. Utter disgrace

    At least City and Spuds played away to better teams than Swansea

    We LOST @ HOME to Swansea

  7. Wenger must be sacked tomorrow. Pls let the fans pass this message across social media and all. He must be sacked. WENGER must go. He must be sacked.

  8. What a point for Leicester City. That is most likely the most valuable point of the season.
    Once Spurs bury us on Sunday it will irrevocably be a Spurs vs Leicester City title showdown.

    If anyone told me this at the start of the season, I would have been most likely to believe in a zombie apocalypse.

  9. WHERE ARE THE AAKB WENGER NOW? THIS IS REALITY CHECK..BYE BYE ALEXIS, OZIL AND MAYBE CHECH IS THINKING W.. I HAVE DONE TO COME TO THIS TEAM? DISGRACE..CHANGED NEEDED FEW YEARS BACK NOW IT IS A MUST. wherer are the true gooners/ VOICE YOUR ANGER..YOUR HURT AND DESPAIR OF SEEING OUR BELOVED TEAM TURNED INTO JOKE IN UK AND EUROPE…BRING SOMEONE WHO BENCH RAMSEY..WHO BUYS A WC DM, WCCB AND WC ST AND GET RID OFF THOSE OVER RATED AND CROOK PLAYERS WE GOT AND BRING GLORY BACK TO THIS TEAM..BE PROUD AND VOICE.

  10. If Arsenal was in Africa, those guys would have been beating up for performance like this?. The manager would have resigned. Leicester is about to become a bigger team.

  11. Y…y Wenger Y.
    This sucks beaten by a B team now beaten at Home by Swansea….when we could have caught up Atleast.
    Wenger is ruining being a fan…

  12. To all the Arsenal Fans who go to watch the matches,Pls i plead with you all, do not go to the stadium on Saturday. Pls, we want an empty stadium at white hart lane. Wenger must be forced to resign this week. His Assistant should oversee the remaining games of the season. I have decided to use the remaining days of the week to chant Wenger must go. Wenger must go. Wenger must resign.

    1. look me up on twitter focused2succeed and let’s organize a hashtag together
      He needs to go immediately, there’s now way he can stay another year.

  13. before the AKB brigade start the beat Tottenham and we are back in it, UTD are only 4 points behind us and there manager is leaving as they are not happy ??

  14. I dont know what admin has to say about Wenger. I was an akb up till last week, but i dont know what to say anymore.
    How the fans at the stadium didnt throw sh*t at wenger still baffles me.
    So mad and shaky, i could barely type this.
    Wenger. Youve done it. You have done it.
