The kids are alright

Tomorrow, The Arsenal take on olympiacos. We have already qualified with the top spot in the group and are likely to field a squad of the reserve and youth players. It is definitely a nice position to be in and should still be an interesting match to watch with the younger players getting a crack at the first team.

I suspect it will probably be a similar squad to the league cup side. Park and/or Chamakh up front, likely Coquelin and Frimpong in the middle with maybe Benayoun or Ozyakup as the main option going forward. The back line will include any of Djourou, Squillaci, Miquel, Santos and Yenarris, with Vermaelen on the bench and Fabianski the likely keeper.

It should be a competitive match regardless of our squad due to the fact that our players will be trying to show their worth to the manager and olympiacos have more than a good chance of claiming the second spot in the group over marseilles and dortmund and will be going for the win as well.

As always, come on down to Beulahland at 11:45 tomorrow and watch the boys in the final group stage match tomorrow.

Come On You Gunners!
