Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has included Theo Walcott in the starting line-up for the game against Barcelona tonight. Mikel Silvestre comes in for Sol Campbell who is carrying a hamstring injury. Thomas Rosicky has shacken off a knock to start.
Barcelona have started Bojan ahead of ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry in place of the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic. While Abidal comes in for Maxwell at left back. Iniesta makes the bench.
Arsenal team:
Almunia
Sagna Silvestre Vermaelen Clichy
Denilson
Diaby Nasri
Walcott Rosicky
Bendtner
Subs: Fabianski, Eduardo, Campbell, Traore, Eastmond, Merida, Eboue
Barcelona team:
Valdes
Alves Milito Marquez Abidal
Busquets
Keita Xavi
Messi Pedro
Bojan
So who feels confident now Silvestre is playing?!!! I’m not suggesting i know better than Arsene Wenger, but surely playing Sagna at centre back and Eboue at right back was the better option? Also, Arsene knew Sol couldn’t play 2 games in 4 days so why not start Silvestre at home to Wolves on Saturday and keep Campbell for tonight? Anyway….good luck boys, think you might need it!
