looks pretty close to what I'd assume the team will be on Tuesday. I'd like to see Keiron (sp) Gibbs get a run-out to be honest, interested to see Randall as well but Gibbs really impressed me in the Emirates Cup.

Diarra at cb? I suspect our reserve team captain to be pushed into the side, Diarra into midfield and one of Denilson or Diaby on the left

You and your heathen magic's made that post from nowhere to make me look bad!

Swap the full backs around and that would be my choice defence

The 16-man squad is as follows....

2 Abou Diaby
6 Phillipe Senderos
8 Lassana Diarra
9 Eduardo
15 Denilson
17 Alexandre Song
21 Lukasz Fabianski (GK)
26 Nicklas Bendtner
27 Emmanuel Eboue
30 Armand Traore
31 Justin Hoyte
32 Theo Walcott
39 Henri Lansbury
40 Vito Mannone (GK)
41 Gavin Hoyte
42 Fran Merida

weird - SwissTony is the only proper centreback
presumably Alex Song will be tried out there.... or one of the Hoytes
Very right sided team - maybe Merida will get the nod on the left. I'd like to see Diaby in the middle

but my prediction is

Fabianski
Ebuoue Senderos J.Hoyte Traore
Walcott Denilson Song Diaby
bendtner dudu

I think the starting line up should be

Lukasz Fabianski,
Justin Hoyte, Gavin Hoyte, Philippe Senderos, Armand Traore,
Emmanuel Eboue, Denilson, Lassana Diarra, Abou Diaby,
Theo Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner.

Subs
Eduardo,
Alexandre Song,
Henri Lansbury,
Vito Mannone,
Fran Merida.

I'm surprised Arsene hasn't included Havard Nordtveit or Kieran Gibbs but who am i to question the great man

Lukasz Fabianski,
Justin Hoyte, Song, Philippe Senderos, Armand Traore,
Walcott, Denilson, Lassana Diarra, Abou Diaby,
Dudu Nicklas Bendtner.

Eboue is only just back from injury and may be better used as a pace sub from the bench. Going to be a hard game against a, judging by squad picked, a first team 11 Newcastle.
