In the draw for the round of 16 of the League Cup, a very surprising result came as Notts County, the leaders of the Premier League, and Arsenal, the Premier League giants, were drawn together, and in the eyes of many, this is simply a preview of the league title race!

In the past two seasons, Notts County have twice met Arsenal in domestic cup competitions, knocking out the Gunners and eventually lifting the trophy, and this time, it will be Arsenal's revenge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Arsenal fans were delighted and although it wasn't too long before the league game after Christmas, they were thrilled to see the win over Notts County a day earlier.

The league is a big meal, and this League Cup is an appetizer, but if it's really tasty, then they don't mind eating more.

Arsenal fans rushed to tell each other, as if this League Cup elimination of Arsenal would be able to plunge Notts County into the abyss, and Arsenal would be able to regain the king's position!

Fans are full of expectations for the team, but this expectation is a little unbearable for Arsenal.

Arsenal is faced with the dual task of playing the league and the Champions League, even if the Champions League has become four fewer games after a single group stage due to the restructuring, but if they want to make a difference on both fronts, Arsenal still needs to invest a lot of energy, in this case, the League Cup and the FA Cup, two domestic cups that are much less important, will be taken out of due consideration.

Is it worth it to still put in the energy to play the domestic cup competition in such a dense schedule, even if you win the championship in the end?

Besides, there is a great possibility that even if you play seriously, you may not be able to win the championship.

It's like this League Cup last-16 knockout game against Notts County, with two weeks to go before the league after Christmas, if the team is given a good rest in those two weeks, will the effect be equivalent to a small winter break?

Originally, Wenger really planned to let the players rest for a good Christmas, and at the same time reserve physical fitness for the second half of the season, but now the attitude of the fans really makes Wenger feel very embarrassed.

Giving up the game is naturally the best option, the problem is that the fans don't do it, they have so much hope for the team, they all hope that Arsenal will beat Notts County to make a name for themselves, how can they tolerate the team running away without a fight?

It's really tangled!

The media are constantly fanning the flames, hoping to see a shocking battle of ghosts and gods, constantly warming up, and when there is no game, this battle is a gift for fans before Christmas!

Arsene Wenger had no choice but to send a large part of his squad to the Carabao Cup knockout round, and after this game, they had less than a week to rest and adjust.

Well, now that most of the main players have been fielded, then the team will definitely try to win, so against Notts County, he must be fully prepared, and he does not think that the current strength of Notts County is inferior to Arsenal.

After a week of intensive preparations, Wenger got along with several tactics to compete with Notts County, although there is still no certainty of victory, but it is better than doing nothing and going to the away team to die!

Arsenal arrived away a day early, and at the pre-match press conference, Arsene Wenger vowed that Arsenal would go all out to win this game, and was ashamed of losing to Notts County in the previous two seasons, believing that it must be Arsenal Arsenal who will advance.

After Wenger finished speaking, he thought that Loew would make a-for-tat statement, but what he didn't expect was that Loew actually said in a low-key manner that Notts County was playing with a learning mentality, and Wenger had a bad idea in his heart.

Sure enough, Arsene Wenger slammed his fist against the wall two hours before the game when he picked up the starting XI for Notts County.

Made, you've been tricked!

It's no wonder that Arsene Wenger was so furious, Arsenal worked hard and carefully for a week to prepare, and even gave up most of the time for the players to rest and adjust, just to give an account of the emotional fans in this game against Notts County.

Now, looking at the starting list of Notts County, there is no doubt that Arsenal will beat Notts County without any suspense, but Wenger has a mouthful of sweet blood and almost vomited blood to death.

Looking at the starting list of Notts County, Ramos, Xavi Martinez, Joe Hart, only these three players are quite familiar, and they know that they are young players who came out of the Notts County Academy, and Wenger does not know any of the other names.

Apparently, Notts County has taken out their reserves again!

Nima's!

Arsene Wenger feels like the biggest SB in the world.

I was forced to pay attention, but in the end, the opponent didn't pay attention to it at all, and the effort of myself and the players was completely wasted, and no value was created at all.

really smashed a fist on the cotton, and he suffocated his internal injuries.

In fact, Notts County is far less entangled than Arsene Wenger, perhaps because of the results of Notts County in the past two years, Notts County, a small team that almost never knew what the championship was, actually did not look down on such a chicken competition as the League Cup.

Don't look at the opponent Arsenal, didn't they were eliminated by Notts County in the previous two seasons, what is there to make a fuss about, they are still 6 points behind Notts County in the standings, and soon after Christmas it will be a direct confrontation between the two teams in the league, why not save the feast until the end!

So the Notts County fans didn't put any pressure on the club.

Loew gave the first team a holiday, although the team is in good shape at the moment, but after all, after all, there are some injuries, as well as the impact of the FIFA international break, to be able to give the players a little more rest, will definitely create more favorable conditions for the second half of the season.

As for this League Cup match with Arsenal, several academy players who usually don't have many opportunities to play will definitely have to play for training, and the rest will naturally be made up by the reserve players.

Anyway, it's a game that you don't plan to win, and it doesn't matter how many you lose, even if it is beaten by Arsenal to a double-digit scoreline, Loew won't care.

Moreover, Loew is not without his own careful thoughts, although the strength of these reserve team players is certainly not Arsenal's opponent, but to be able to play in this kind of competition, which player can not do their best?

He knows the boys in the reserve team very well, they play dirty, and if they don't get it right, they can cause some trouble for Arsenal, and it is very likely that they will even get a few off the pitch. (To be continued.) )
