Reading some absolutely insane posts about wanting us to play the second team in this one. We have already wasted one opportunity of a trophy in that shitshow against Southampton and this is probably our best (does not mean only) chance of winning anything this year. On top of that, Arsenal is our main league rival this year and losing to them, even if its in a cup, would only boost their confidence which is the last thing we need when trying to catch 8 points from them. Strongest team possible, should not even be a debate about it. Unless you dont like winning trophies of course.
 
I'd go as full strength as realistically possible. Hate tossing away a competition, and one that may be our best chance at silverware this season. Also think if we beat Arsenal they'll start peering over their shoulders a bit
 
Hope it's a scrappy win and we dont show our hand for the two league games.

Arsenal clearly won't prioritise the Europa League - they're nailed on for CL anyway.
I'd happily lose this game. Go full on catching them and go balls deep again for the CL.
Just an opinion

Well let's hope pep doesn't want to lose it
Surely the aim should be win it to make a statement to Arsenal?
Never understand posters suggesting they would be happy to lose a game

We are alot more likely to win the fa cup than the champions league.

I'd be happy with the fa cup and 2nd in the league, can't see us winning the champions league we will probably beat leipzig draw Liverpool and go out that's just the way it is.
