Capital One Cup - Marvellous Marve's insight.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Last year saw a slight shift in how Wenger approached this competition, instead of it being exclusively a youth team project, he picked his team in the following manner.

The 7 players who were on the subs bench the weekend before would all start in each round. The remaining 4 places were made up of the promising youngsters that filled the remaining places in the team.

Therefore expect to see the following team on Wednesday imo

Martinez

Santos
Djourou
xxx
xxx

Coquelin
xxx
Oxlade-Chamberlain

xxx
Giroud
Walcott

One of you weirdos who follow the kids can fill in the xxx's please.

It will be interesting on if he gives Walcott this start though as obviously there are issues outstanding regarding his future at the club.

This prediction will almost certainly be wrong.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I know he is a midfield player by trade.

* I went to the two games at The Grove in August. Would go to more if they played any more there.

was one of the first names on the team sheet last season. Then I noticed all of the build up by the club pre Southampton was Chamberlain playing against his old team. Nothing through the official channels of Walcott against them.

My predicition: Shea, Yennaris, Djourou, Squillaci (sigh), Santos, Coquelin, Eastmond, Ox, Walcott, Giroud, Arshavin.

imo. Hopefully he'll play young Eisfeld at some stage.

[wibble the lobster]

yennaris - right back
centre back - miguel/squillacci

midfield - eastmond probably but he could throw on eisfeld


up front - not sure giroud will play - arshavin and gnabry with chamak

santos is due in court this week so miguel play there
