Arsenal Vs. Galastaray, 19:45pm Setanta Ireland SS5

WoollyRedHat

Arsenal visit Turkey tonight in what some may dub as a dead rubber game, with Arsenal already guaranteed qualification and Anderlecht having already secured 3rd spot. However, there is a small chance Arsenal could snatch 1st spot, should Dortmund falter against Anderlecht and Arsenal achieve victory against Galatasaray tonight. Furthermore, Wenger is giving a number of his young guns a chance to shine tonight.

Meanwhile, new coach Hamza Hamzaoglu will be hoping to secure some result tonight for the home fans, after a disappointing Champions League qualification campaign which has seen them gain only one point in their last 5 games

In terms of injury news, Debuchy makes his first appearance since his injury lay off as he will attempt to regain match fitness in what will be a welcome boost to the Gunner's ailing defence. Also returning from injury is Sanogo whose last experience was in the fixture vs. Dortmund where he impressed with the opening goal at the Emirates and the first choice keeper Szczesny, who is returning from a hip injury.


As ever, the atmosphere will be terse, as many teams and their fans who visit Turkey will attest to..

Arsenal Starting XI:Szczesny; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Bellerin; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini, Ramsey; Campbell, Sanogo, Podolski.

Subs: Martinez, Akpom, Zelalem, Kamara, O'Connor, Iwobi, Maitland-Niles.


Galatasaray: Bolat, Alex, Balta, Kaya, Camdal, Felipe Melo,
Sneijder, Bruma, Colak, Bulut, Burak Yilmaz.

Subs: Iscan, Altintop, Ozcal, Oztekin, Adin, Kurtulus, Sari.

tayto lover

Good goal created by Ox and scored by Ramsey.

Mickeroo

Ramsey! Hopefully these goals will get him back to where he was last season.

Quazzie

To think he woud've turned back to lay it off only for there was a player right behind him.

Nice to see a subdued celebration also. Shows that he knows there's still a lit of work to be done before he gets back to where he was.

No doubting that. 100% credit where it's due for a lovely finish. I mentioned it more as a reflection that perhaps his confidence is a bit low, as he wasn't as fully committed as he might have been in the past.

Christ, you'd think sky would have gotten someone who hasn't lost their voice to commentate

Not his biggest fan but the way we are finishing chances at the moment we should probably be starting Podolski alot more. Great finisher and strike of a ball.
