Valencia v Arsenal

This weekend the squad travels to Spain for its last pre-season game before the Premier league starts! Valencia is a team that last won its domestic league when we did -- 2003-2004.

Perhaps we'll see Walcott, Gibbs and Diaby feature in this match, as we've not seen them yet this preseason.

This one's televised on ATVO, for those who have it.

This one will be the one where we field the squad that will play vs Everton. Here is the team I think is going to be out..


Sagna----------Djourou-----Gallas-------Clichy


--------Denilson-------Song-------Fabregas---


RVP-----------------Bentdner----------Arshavin


Bench....Diaby,Vermaelen,Rosicky,Walcott, Eboue.

I'm surprised we are travelling there. They face Manutd tomorrow at OT, so I would have thought they would made the trip down to London before heading home. Oh well, I guess this was organized when they were still hard up for cash and needed the gate receipts.

Any weird substitution rules in this match, or standard stuff?

Emirates Cup is like adult D-league with the 12 subs...

I'm sure it will be pretty much the same.

We haven't seen Vela either this pre-season due to the Gold Cup. Is he even fit at the moment? The talk about him has been sparse and I'd love to see him get a run out tomorrow. We need him this year.

So if we play a 4-3-3 again I would have to think that this will be our primary formation this season since that is what we have played in every match.

more than likely he is ready to start the season, barring injury

Haha at first I wasn't sure if that was a boy, but now It appears as if the lad has grown a semi for the Cesc Pistol.

I haven't gotten to see a pre-season game since Barnet so I'm pumped for this!
