Otherwise like to see mix of youngsters, and players returning from injury who need game time:
Park should be nowhere near an Arsenal shirt ever again he's a useless sack of shit and I'd rather play a completely unproven youth player. I wouldn't play Flappy as we all know he's complete cack and I don't really give a shit what his morale is like as it would be fantastic if he were to piss off and be replaced with a real keeper. Not like Szczesny needs a rest but Flappy will definitely play.
Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Eisfeld play although obviously he hasn't been as impressive in training as he has in cameo appearances. Agree with Podolski up front - clearly can't play the role in PL but should have a field day against this dross and hopefully bag a few and remind Wenger that he's actually quite a good player.
I had adjusted my line up after initially posting it, cannot see much point in Park taking part and thought if Zelalem plays would be good to have an experienced player next to him, so I chose Rosicky.
This is my adjusted line up:
I think Eisfeld is very good and would like to see him get some playing time versus Coventry but this is a guess, I think the coaching staff are keeping him away from the first team for the rest of this season, bulking him up a bit in preparation for more involvement next season?

Think you're probably right about Eisfeld. Seems sensible tbh, given our embarrassment of riches in the (central) creative midfield area no point in forcing him into first-team action. I am a bit surprised he hasn't gone out on loan but I know Wenger is quite particular about who he'll loan players out to and possibly viewed that another year where Arsenal could monitor his progress and fitness/conditioning would be beneficial before farming him out? Kind of player he seems to be it probably wouldn't be worth loaning him out to a Championship club
I wouldn't start Rozicky. I would start Ox and Gnabry on the left and right.Not sure who I would start in #10 position, maybe Zelalelm yes, but would surely start Poldi up front. Danish King to replace him at 1hour mark, if fit enough to make bench.Would start Arteta and Wilshere but hopefully Ramsey is fit to take Wilshere's place at HTOk with the defence linePeace
