Big games needed from Chadli and Dembele today

He played 90 mins for the first time Thursday, probably too much to be involved today too

Hope it's this and not an injury setback.

Kaboul played his first 90 minutes on Thursday and who knows if he can play more than one game a week with the injury he sustained. RE: Holtby - he has just come back from injury too so it's not surprising that he isn't starting.

I dont think we should worry too much about Kaboul. He is slowly returning and played only a few days ago. I dont think he's ready to be involved in a game of this nature yet.

Think Lamela for Townsend will happen at some point and then I guess it depends if we are leading then Sandro will come on for Dembele or it will be Holtby if we are chasing

Defoe for Soldado looks a likely sub now late on in games.

It could be Lamela for Chadli with Townsend switching to the left. Sandro and Holtby on as the other two subs.

May not have Kaboom, but we do have Kapow!

Cazorla and Walcott playing out wide could potentially give Walker and Rose some headaches, they've got to concentrate today!

It looks like Arsenal are set to overload the width and we'll be dominant in the middle.

Arsenal's bench has to be one of the worst that will be seen from a top 10 PL side this season.

Our bench could win us this.

Have a feeling we're going to need someone on to provide some service for Soldado. I like Dembele but he's so head-down.

That's my worry too. I think we'll be strong but I fear that our only source of energy and creativity in the final third will be through Townsend. We'll need more than that.

No central defender on the subs bench. Big problem.

I have a bad feeling that Kaboul is at a career crossroads.

Shame Lennon is still injured presumably. He would be a good impact sub for this game imo.

Be very interested to see how we line up on the left to protect Rose from Walnut

Has anyone thought that maybe Andre wanted another attacking player on the bench? If Daws or Verts get injured then Sandro will come on and Capoue will go CB. Makes sense.

Kaboul is probably being rested after playing 90 on Thursday. Had a season out, best to bring him back slowly.
