Really looking forward to the Newcastle game. I think we will line up fairly strong. Maybe like this:
--------------Szsezsny--------------
--Eboue--Koscielny--Djourou--Gibbs--
--------------Denilson---------------
---------Lansbury--Rosicky-----------
--JET--------------------------Vela--
--------------Bendtner---------------

I'd imagine we'd line-up with:

Krul
Perch - Coloccini - Kadar - Ferguson
Routledge - Guthrie - Smith - Jonas
Ameobi or Carroll - Lovenkrands

Agree with Cesc though, it should be a really good game.

Man U v Wolves and Newcastle v Arsenal

Ranger will either play upfront or on Jonas wing with Routledge on the other. Carroll won't play, the biggest game of the season on Sunday. Can't see CH taking to many risks, especially with Wenger desperate to win something(anything) and fielding a pretty strong line-up. Not really worth it.

Krul
Perch - Coloccini - Kadar - Ferguson
Routledge - Guthrie - Smith - Ranger
Ameobi - Lovenkrands

Campbell will play for Colo if he's over that injury(doubtful)

FWIW, Wenger on the Carling Cup ...

"We will play with a good team. Some players need games and we want to give ourselves a good chance to qualify so we will play with a strong team."

I think cesc's team is pretty much spot on. Walcott could start though, but JET deserves a game so don't know where he'd fit in.

Will probably get up to watch this because I expect a good game.

I hope Szczczczny is in goals because I don't think I have seen him play yet and he will probably get some action being in Newcastle.

Bendtner & Walcott will probably feature and Vela will play surely.

Last time we changed the whole first team I think. I expect the same tonight. Hopefully Dorrans can fine some form.

From here on in we should really win this, not sure wenger will feel the same but we have enough depth imo.

Brum through after knocking out Brentford on penos... needed a 90th minute equaliser to to take it to extra time.

Another late winner from Hernandez (swoon) saw Manchester United finally see off a dogged Wolves (sorry) 3-2.

Ipswich 3-1 Northampton after Northampton took the lead.

West Brom win 1-4 at Leicester.

And Wigan 2-0 over Martinez's old boys Swansea.

Man, what a shame.

Did so well to hold on for the first and last 15mins.

Every chance to get one back. Ranger and Smith with goals in the second.
