Who are you guys starting Saturday? I'm hoping for
cech
bellerin kos mus nacho
coq xhaka
ozil
walcott sanchez
perez

Start Giroud if he's fit and let him put his nutsack all over old arse Terry

I really think we win this game around 3-1 if Coq and Xhaka start. Hard to leave Santi out, but I'm tired of getting bullied in the midfield vs Chelsea. First time in a while we can outmuscle Chelsea while having the skill up top to score. I'm excited

Back down to earth, can someone reassure me Bellerin doesn't leave in January? I came to terms last year that he would be off to Barca soon, but I was hoping Arsenal could keep him for one last full season. I really want him to wait until next summer.

I wouldn't put it past Wenger to not start Xhaka even though he's been superb. I agree we should have Xhaka-Coq (or Elneny) because we need a strong midfield and Santi just doesn't bring that.
I'm probably in the small percentage of fans but I don't think hector is leaving us anytime soon. Of course the thought worries me, but with everything I've seen on twitter, Instagram and his snapchat he's 100% gunner.

Makes no sense to spend big if the player is UCL tied and can't participate in the knockouts. I think Hector won't be gone until he is the solid #1 RB for the Spanish National team.

Absolutely agree. These are just Spanish tabloids looking for a story during the slow times. It'll take a Stones-esque offer to buy him during the summer, and I'd probably take that.

No chance Arsenal turns down a Stones-like offer and we shouldn't. But, it won't happen until the summer at the very earliest.

I think we'll see the same XI we've been starting in the league.

Would rather see Coq-Xhaka and eventually Ramsey-Xhaka in the center. Santi is still a little wizard but he's getting overrun more and more, and should really be Mesut's backup at this stage, IMO.

Bellerin's contract runs until 2019. He's one of our best players and also plays our thinnest position. There's no way we would sell him in January no matter what the offer is. Earliest he'll leave will be the summer, and even then it would take at least 40 million pounds.

Supposedly Xhaka got plenty of red cards for Monchengladbach, so maybe he is the one to get it. I'm not optimistic about Chelsea at all.

I think we get a result. Theo scores as he usually does well against Chelsea.

Yep makes sense. Slipped my mind, so that's great.

Anyone thinking he wouldn't leave if Barca came calling needs to get real. Just hope for a good price.

This is so goddamn stupid.

We have a world-class midfielder and Arsene keeps him on the damn bench.

I'm enjoying how much Walcott, Ozil, and Sanchez are involved so far in the match. It's great that your best attacking players are featured heavily.

Cazorla hasn't received that ball that much this match, which is fine, even though he basically backpacked the team to victory recently.

Theo is playing like he never wants to be on the bench again. Hope he's finally turned a corner, got his 3rd PL goal of the season earlier

For everyone asking for Xhaka, here you go. A knee injury to Coquelin. I wonder how long that will sideline him given Arsenal's physios and past history with injuries.

Coq is hurt

On the bright side Xhaka is coming on

Here we go with the damn injuries.

Not the way I wanted to see Xhaka.

Watch Coq be out 4-5 months.
