Should put out a similar team as the first game, which we dominated throughout Would be tempted to go weaker, depending who is fit.
Hull didn't have a choice but to cancel their league game, as FA Cup takes precedence over the Football League.
We will have a game the following weekend no matter what.
BT will be busy that night, with this game and two CL games.

Oh yeah, that's right.. They should be fine. Lineker and the boys will do the Madrid match on BT European, whilst the Gent vs Wolfsburg will probably be on BT Sports 2, with Jake Humphreys doing this match on BT 1
Don't think we need to go too strong, Bruce doesn't even want to progress further does he?
Same team as before would be fine for me, I'd look at it as a chance to keep fringe players sharp rather than bemoan it

Except Giroud.
Three big PL games before then, so a bit early to speculate on the team.
Maybe Cazorla and/or Wilshere could be available?
Why won't it be on BBC? Anyway better for us. The double looks do able and should be the aim!
Because BT had first dibs.

Thought Santi was hoping to be back for the return leg against Banterlona?
Hopefully we'll get to see Wilshere back in time to feature in some capacity, either as sub or starter. Wish we had some stronger attacking options in the youth ranks.
Failing that, play Theo or Danny up front.
Anyway, good decision re. the date - though the KO time feels a little weird. Apparently Arsenal will be subsidising the cost of coach travel. £10 return, which seems decent.
Play a full team. Imo btw the FA cup and the league we have a better chance with the cup
We are 2 points off the top and have won the FA Cup 2 years in a row. Why on earth would anyone prioritise the FA Cup??
Glad Uefa understood and accepted we can play on Tuesday at 7:00pm, so we won't be punished for it. Also big kudos for Hull as they've decided to cancel their match vs Brentford on that day and will rearrange accordingly.
The F A Cup always takes precedence over League matches!
