Good news!
It appears Kieran Tierney has made a quick recovery and will be fit to play today v Villarreal.
Also, after Mat Ryan’s tremendous support from Yankee Gooner supporters to be in goal today, I have put him in the the starting XI for this match.
So, with that said, here is my revised team for today’s Europa League semifinal…
[4-2-3-1]
Aubameyang
Smith Rowe, Odegaard, Saka
Xhaka, Partey
Tierney, Mari, Holding, Chambers
Ryan
Predicted final score…
ARSENAL 2 – Villarreal 1 [Aggregate 3-3, with Arsenal winning in shootout, 5-4]
COYG!
