Wenger said that Arteta is fine. He will start. As for Jack, he said he looks like he might be ready. I reckon he will start also or be on the bench.
I remember the France-Uruguay game from a while back. Kos had him in the pocket all the time, except 1 time where he dribbled in France's box and scored. A tough job to defend him. I have a feeling that this will be a match where many goals will be scored, where we have to score more than 3 to win.
Tomorrow's match was the one that I targeted in August to make it over to see, even lined up a ticket. Sadly I just couldn't swing the travel this time. So I'll be watching with a little added interest. And hoping for a boring, boring, 1-0 to The Arsenal. If it's some epic 7-goal thriller won by a Per header in injury time, I'll be happy & sad at the same time. COYG!!!

I am in SE Pennsylvania with no power. They say it will be back 11 tonight. If not, I will be following the match on Twitter. The bar I usually go to is not opening until 10.
szczesny sagna, mertesacker, koscielny, monreal arteta, wilshere chamberlain, ozil, cazorla giroud subs: fabianski, jenkinson, gibbs, rosicky, gnabry, podolski, bendtner monreal better be on his toes today. ps. liverpool's back 4 is predictably weak.....flanagan, skrtel, toure, cissokho same team and subs as their last game at west brom.
monreal will have started 7 of the last 8. gibbs started out being injured. our schedule is getting very busy. i suspect wenger is 1) holding gibbs back to make sure he is properly fit for the schedule and 2) trying to get monreal to play into stronger form.
If Gibbs doesn't start against MU then I can't find any logic behind except that Arsène thinks Monreal is playing better.
