Play Fantasy Arsene Wenger: Pick your first team to face Stuttgart
Tomorrow night marks Arsenal's first major test of the pre-season when Arsene Wenger's men face Jens Lehmann's new club, Stuttgart.
If Le Gaffer has decided to strip William Gallas of the captain's armband we'll probably find out when the teams take to the pitch tomorrow, while we might also get a clue as to what the Gunners' formation will be this season.
Another issue that might be resolved is Emmanuel Adebayor's future. If the Togo striker is intent on leaving Arsenal, it's unlikely that Le Boss will pick him for the Stuttgart game.
A friendly the game may be, but the true build up to the season starts tomorrow and Wenger will be wanting to gauge the fitness of his strongest 11.
But just who is our strongest line up now, following the departures of Alexander Hleb, Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto?
To help you choose your starting 11, remember that Kolo Toure, Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo are in various stages of recovery from injury and illness, so here's a list of the players who are currently fit:
Goalkeepers - Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski, Vito Mannone
Defenders - Bacary Sagna, William Gallas, Philippe Senderos, Johan Djourou, Gael Clichy, Havard Nordtveit, Justin Hoyte, Armand Traore
Midfielders - Emmanuel Eboue, Denilson, Cesc Fabregas, Aaron Ramsey, Samir Nasri, Abou Diaby
Strikers - Carlos Vela, Nicklas Bendtner, Emmanuel Adebayor, Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott
Here's what my starting line-up would be:
Almunia
Sagna Gallas Senderos Clichy
Eboue Fabregas Nasri Diaby
Adebayor RvP
