Arsenal travels to the south coast this weekend for a Third Round FA Cup match-up with Championship side Portsmouth.
Mikel Arteta’s mindset this season is to win trophies, so we should expect him to start a very senior squad on Sunday at Fratton Park in Portsmouth.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI…
[4-3-3]
Martinelli, Jesus, Madueke
Merino, Eze, Norgaard
Lewis-Skelly, Salmon, Timber, White
Kepa
Predicted final score: Portsmouth 0 – ARSENAL 3
COYG!

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
