So Arsenal will play Arsene Wenger’s third-last home game against West Ham United, and I fully expect the Gunners to win all three convincingly – starting with a big scoreline against David Moyes defensive line-up.
Although all the talk from Wenger and Gazidis has been about promoting youth in the future, I still think Wenger will take no chances and go for an attacking line-up. Many of the first team had a breather last week and don’t play again til Thursday, so this is the team I predicted in my Preview…
Cech,
Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal,
Xhaka, Wilshere, Elneny
Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette
And here is the team that our departing manager has decided on…
He is definitely giving game time to players certain to start on Thursday, so that is why PEA is on the bench and Welbeck and Lacazette lead the line. Ospina is in goal for the same reason…
Ramsey must be fitter than Wilshere but I doubt he will play the whole game, and Iwobi!!!
Where the hell is Ozil? Not on his hols again is he?
