Arsenal want to end this disappointing Premier League seqason on some sort of positive note and the best way to do that would be to end our record of not getting a single point away from home in 2016, and I reckon that the 11 players picked by Arsene Wenger to face Leicester City tonight has what it takes.
Cech
Maitland-Niles, Mavropanos, Holding, Kolasinac
Ramsey, Iwobi, Xhaka
Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Aubameyang
Subs: Ospina, Mertesacker, Mustafi, Nelson, Nketiah, Osei-Tutu, Willock
I hope that this starting line-up from the Gunners can do the business as well, because the bench is not exactly filled with players you would think could turn a tough contest. Fair enough for the departing boss, though, as he sticks with the idea of giving some youth and some fringe players a chance when there is nothing really riding on the result.
It would be great for the defensive pairing of Holding and Movrapanos to perform well and for the exciting attacking players to show what they could do in the future. The home team will not want to oblige but they have even less to play for and may already be on the beach, so is this Arsenal side about to give us not just a point but an away win?
Bob.
