Arsene Wenger usually experiments with his starting Arsenal squad when in a competition other than the Premier League, and with Middlesbrough not the best of opponents, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some serious experimentation.
However, it’s still a game that Wenger is going to give his all for, so don’t expect a bunch of 19 year olds running about the pitch (not including Hector Bellerin and Chuba Akpom).
I realize that all predictions on an Arsene-Wenger-run team are futile, so I’ll just make my predictions into who I would start in this game to give some much needed playing time to those who need it while still giving us a lineup that we feel comfortable to win.
