Today's team selection will be interesting. For me the keeper, defence and attack select themselves:
Leno
AM-N Sokratis Luiz Kolasinac

Pepe Lacazette Aubameyang

My selection in midfield, after much thought, is Torreira, Guendouzi and Xhaka.

I believe we need physicality today and although in principle I would prefer to try Ceballos ahead of Xhaka, I am not sure he is yet up to the intensity of a PL derby. I like the fact that all 3 selected can play the necessary through balls o our awesome forward line, but can defend as well.
Thoughts fellow Gooners?

I would certainly have Ceballos in the side, he is exactly the player that will make the difference in a slightly advanced role of a midfield three. I think we ought to assume that Dick will select Xhaka, so I would drop Guendouzi from your selection, and play Dani just in front of the two terriers.

I think Spurs are there for the taking today; it will be a measure of Dicks tactical nous and the players desire if we can step up to the plate.

It was no shame losing against a well drilled and talented Liverpool side last week, but most of us are going to be less sympathetic if there is a negative result, and a performance to match, today. COYG.

Had you down as a Daily Star reader and a Brexit voter :-)

Off to enjoy a rose wine while I watch my boys spank the team with a Coq on their shirt - looks like they’ve lost their balls this season 😉

COYG.

911 got the team correct, excited to see the front 3 start together.

Well Emery has gone with my team. He must subscribe to this site!
Daily Telegraph and Brexit for me!

Xhaka and Brexit? I didn't vote either, I think both are a super huge mistakes but I'm resigned to the fact both are happening and going to carry on happening regardless of whether I like it or not!
Britain no longer a EU country since Brexit and Arsenal no longer CL team since Xhaka! Coincidence? I don't think so :-)
