[Teams] 4 Arsenal players start for their countries tonight
The interlull is in full swing but there is plenty of Arsenal interest tonight as four of our players are in action for their countries.
Laurent Koscielny will marshall the back-line for France as he starts alongside Samuel Umtiti in the heart of defence for the hosts while Olivier Giroud leads the line up front.
Giroud is preferred to Gunners team mate Alexandre Lacazette – who’s on the bench – with Antoine Grizemann and Kylian Mbappe supporting Olivier in attack for France.
Koscielny and Giroud will be up against club-mate Aaron Ramsey as he starts for Wales in the middle of the park so let’s hope all three come through the game unscathed.
Here are the lines-ups from Paris:
France
Mandanda, Jallet, Koscielny, Umtiti, Kurzawa, Mbappe, Tolisso, Matuidi, Coman, Giroud, Griezmann
Wales
Hennessey, Gunter, Taylor, Chester, Williams, Davies, Allen, King, Ledley, Ramsey, Vokes
We might not have any players in the England squad but there is still Arsenal interest in the game at Wembley tonight as Mesut Ozil starts for Germany.
The playmaker will be alongside reported Gunners target Julian Draxler in attack so it will be interesting to see how they play together while Man City duo Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan are also in the line-up.
As for England, it’s probably the worst starting eleven I can remember in my lifetime and it’s an absolute joke that Jack Wilshere wasn’t picked ahead of some of these clowns.
Here are the line-ups:
England
Pickford, Trippier, Jones, Maguire, Stones, Rose, Dier, Livermore, Loftus-Cheek, Abraham, Vardy.
Germany
ter Stegen, Kimmich, Ginter, Hummels, Rüdiger, Halstenberg, Gündogan, Özil, Draxler, Sané, Werner.
