Arsenal v West Brom Preview

City's win today means last two games are basically dead rubber

Which is good. We can play the full team tomorrow but we can afford to rest them next week in preparation for the FA Cup final.

Hope we can try few youngsters tomorrow. Game is at home. Won't mind playing Akpom/Bellerin/Sanogo at some point.

Although I do hope we finish on 79 points this season.

Momentum can be good thing to have heading into the cup final, so yeah. I hope we win the last two games.

It's a good opportunity to rest some players but as El Gunner says, it'd be good to have momentum going into the cup final, so we shouldn't go too nuts with the rotation.

I'd like to see Mertesacker, Arteta and Cazorla get some rest tomorrow and against Norwich. They've played every minute of the FA Cup semi-final and haven't had a break since. I'd actually play Vermaelen and Flamini for the final two games, and rotate Cazorla with Rosicky. We don't need to push Mertesacker and Arteta for these games.

Likewise, we need to take extra care with Ramsey and Ozil now. Give them both 70 minutes or so then bring them off. I'm happy for Podolski and Giroud to play because they're scoring goals, but again, there's no need to push them too much. This is a great chance to give Sanogo some minutes, too.

It's brilliant to have the final couple of games be dead rubbers (pretty sure Norwich will be relegated by the time we play them), as hopefully that means the team will enjoy itself and play some good football. Maybe we'll finally win by more than four goals.

I want to see Bellerin and Akpom

Will be interesting to see how we line up against WBA and Norwich. We have the chance to rotate and not risk our best players getting injured but still need the momentum going for the FA Cup.

If Fabianski starts in the final, do we play him before to gain some match practice? That's the position I'm not sure about yet.

Diaby could be on the bench.

Diaby on the Bench!!!!! Woo

Diabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Ramsey tightness in the thigh

Which is code for " We got nothing to play for, he can rest today and play on the final day"

Sagna's last home game?   

goal... giroud..

I needed a big gameweek from Ramsey for my fantasy team and he isn't even playing. Ffs

u mad

This game is like one of those games in pre-season against Malaysia XI or so.

Bring Diaby on! And Jenkinson to give Sagna a proper farewell.

Rumor on Twitter that Loic Remy is watching the match from one of the executive boxes.

yeah he is at the game, move certainly happening

I was until I realized that my cheap, useless substitute Kieran Richardson scored a goal for Fulham

The Goal Legacy H2H title is still within my grasp.
