So when we went to the emirates last September we lined up:

Murphy
Clarke Wood Brown Reckford
Baker Barton Bailey moussa mcsheffrey
Elliot

Subs:
Dunn, Hussey, Edjenuguele, Fleck, Mcdonald, Ball, Daniels

Out of our 18 man squad for that game only 6 are still with us. Shows you just how unstable the club is and what a job Pressley is doing in getting so many youngsters and new faces to perform to the level they are. Looking at Arsenal's XI it's worrying how such a weakened arsenal team beat us 6-1, let's hope Arsene takes pity on us come Friday as well

Arsenal have a Champions League game after. I have a feeling they will go easy on us with the squad they put out. Doesn't mean the result will go in our favour as I'm sure their reserves still have talent!

Would love to see Ozil live though!

Reckford? Was that Julian Gray in disguise?

I wouldn't want to see him die either.

Yes they could put their 3rd squad against us. But each player would still be worth more than our whole squad.

7 - murphy, Clarke, baker, Barton, moussa, fleck and Daniels

Arsenal will pick a strong team, they usually play decent sides on the FA CUP. Your forget that a lot of their fringe players are full internationals.

Rosicky, podolski, jenkingson,Gibbs, Ox the bench on Saturday. He'll surely want to give them a run out.

I am 100% sure we have a better starting line up to the one we put out last season, I do wish Callum Wilson was playing give us something different with Leon up top..

I remember being there and seeing how frighteningly quick Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain were !!!

It's a better starting line-up but quite rightly as has been stated 'they could put their 3rd team out & still beat us) but it's FA Cup football & we can all dream, can't we? PUSB!

As much as we may have improved or be playing better than the last meeting, Arsenal have improved no end on last season also!
