PNE - Arsenal preview // FA Cup 3rd round

Should be a good game. I don't think there will be an upset but you never know. Arsenal will make changes so PNE could cause some problems. PNE have a near full strength squad on their hands. Beckford suspended, who knows about Bailey Wright, the two new Irish lads could feature and Marnick probably won't feature. Stevie May is another who is in the amiss. Ben Davies has been loaned out and I have a feeling Grayson will probably go full strength. My team prediction is - Maxwell, Baptiste, Clarke, Wright, Boyle, Cunningham, Pearson, Gallagher, Johnson, Hugill, Makienok. I went for 2 up top as I don't think PNE will play with width on the wings like McGeady and Robinson but I could be wrong and if they do play with width and pace, they will play. For Arsenal, Cocquelin is out for a month, Ozil has a cold (bless), Sanchez and Cech are getting rested so it leaves Arsenal short. Walcott, Gibbs, Koscielny, Perez are all out too or having a rest. You might see one or two of them on the bench though, if needed. It leaves Arsenal down to the bare bones. Ospina is goal, Mustafi could start with Holding or Gabriel. I don't think Bellerin will start so Jenkinson could get a run out, if not, Debuchy will start. Monreal on the other wing. Elneny at the AFcon so just Xhaka and Ramsey are their options unless youth starts, which you cannot rule out. Iwobi, Akpom, Sanogo could well all feature and Welbeck is back too. Reine-Adelaide could play and Giroud and Oxlade-Chamberlain could feature too. A classic FA Cup team for a Premier League giant against lower opposition. I think Arsenal will win 3-1. Arsenal team prediction - Ospina, Jenkinson, Monreal, Mustafi, Holding, Ramsey, Xhaka, Iwobi, Sanogo, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Akpom.
