Jose is still the starter, and now he is the first choice for the starter unless he encounters special circumstances.

Lambert is no longer stubborn about using veterans.

Except for Jose's starting position, most of the other positions have not changed, the only change is that Ahmadi has returned to Ireland as a starting midfielder, and Ireland has been on the bench.

For three games in a row, there haven't been many changes to the starting lineup, and Lambert hasn't done a great job in terms of rotation.

As for Arsenal, there is also a teenager, he is Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was born in 93 and is only less than two years older than Jose.

In addition to Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey and Jenkinson, who have just turned 20, also entered the starting lineup.

Their specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Back four: Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Jenkinson.

Two midfield pairings: Arteta, Ramsey.

Three attacking defenders: Bordoschi, Cazorla, Chamberlain.

Striker: Olivier Giroud.

Arsenal's average age of starters is very young, with the exception of Mikel Arteta, who has just turned 30, and the rest are under 28, making them the youngest team in the Premier League.

With such a young lineup, it is no wonder that Mourinho complained about whether Wenger had any special hobbies.

Only the Arsenal fans defended Arsene Wenger that the professor was saving money for Arsenal to build the stadium.

It's just that I don't know if Wenger's youth storm can break through Villa's goal.

……

According to the records, Arsenal have won 7 and drawn 6 in their last 13 visits to Villa Park, and the last time Arsenal lost at Villa Park was in 1998.

Villa, on the other hand, have won just two of the last 26 league meetings between the two sides, and are completely at the bottom.

In the other 24 meetings, Arsenal have won 18 and drawn six, and the advantage is very clear.

The two sides have met 40 times in the history of the Premier League, and Arsenal has an absolute advantage of 20 wins, 13 draws and 7 losses, including 9 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses away.

For Villa, Arsenal are the other big sufferer after Manchester United.

…

Today, the weather in Birmingham was very bad, and it was pouring rain in the sky, making the already unusually cold weather even more chilly.

Standing on the court, José felt his facial skin freeze as the cold rain kept hitting his face.

…

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The first 15 minutes in the cold rain started slightly dullly, and both sides lacked a threat from set-pieces.

In the first 20 minutes, on the field, it was Villa who had a slight advantage, and Benteke took the lead in passing from a small angle, but unfortunately was saved by Szczesny.

In the 16th minute, Bannan tried a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, failed to threaten Szczesny, and was easily saved by the opponent.

Two minutes later, Villa were awarded a corner from the right.

Westwood is in charge of the penalty.

A long corner, 12 yards out, was headed in by Bentekeke.

It's a pity that the top is off.

Villa's attack, with great momentum, was fruitless.

Watching his teammates work hard in the front court, Jose in the back court stomped his feet and muttered, "It's so cold." ”

The bone-chilling rain slapped the players, pouring them all cold, making the fans in the stands feel cold for them.

Compared to other players, Jose is lucky, because the equipment created by the system keeps his hands and feet dry. As for Jose Jr., although it has curled up in a ball, it is at least dry.

In the 20th minute, Arsenal launched a counter-attack.

Ramsey won the ball on the right and at the same time, Oxlade-Chamberlain began to cut inside.

The duo combined the ball and Oxlade-Chamberlain had a chance to get his feet from 12 yards out on the right side of the penalty area, and he opted to blast into the near corner.

The ball speed is unusually fast, mixed with rain, which is very difficult to handle.

Jose didn't dare to be careless, and instead of rushing forward, he chose to block sideways with both hands, blocked the ball out of the small penalty area, and then was passed to the midfield by Clarke's big foot.

Two minutes later, Ahmadi picked up the ball in the opposition penalty area and two Arsenal defenders pressed him closely, and finally Ahmadi fell to the ground in the box.

"Beep, beep..."

Penalty kick?

Villa fans were excited.

However, it didn't.

Instead, the head coach thought Ahmadi had faked a fall and showed him a yellow card.

It was the first and only yellow card of the game.

No way, who made the weather too cold, not to mention the fire, it would be very good to be able to keep the body hot.

The game continues.

It was Arsenal's attack that continued.

In the 27th minute, Arsenal cooperated in front of the game, and finally the ball fell to Podolski.

In the box, Podolski tried to break through, and as soon as he got past Vlar, he could face Jose and shoot straight at goal.

Podolski was about to shake Vlar off with a feint, but Jose struck and he confiscated the ball first.

The ball is unusually slippery on rainy days, and once the opponent is allowed to shoot with his feet, the probability of the goalkeeper's hand slipping at close range will be greatly improved.

To avoid such surprises, Jose and his teammates had to block the opponent's shot as much as possible.

Live chat room.

"Alas, Arsene Wenger's team is like this, playing too finely, always trying to get the ball into the opposition goal, how is that possible?"

"Yes, it feels like constipation, it feels like something is coming, and it just doesn't come out."

"It's called passing and kicking, don't beep if you don't know it."

"Arsenal play pass-and-control football? La Masia smiled silently. ”

"Shut up, what else do you have besides putting on a jersey and making a move?"

"People have acting skills."

In this way, what was originally a match between Villa and Arsenal turned out to be a war of words between Arsenal fans and Barcelona fans.

……

Back to the game.

In the 29th minute, Oxlade-Chamberlain burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, tried to cross but was blocked, and finally could only pass back to Ramsey.

Ramsey took the ball past Bannan and burst into the right side of the box, and from 12 yards, Ramsey fired a powerful shot into the bottom right corner of the goal like a water dragon.

The ball was too fast for a forward or side pounce to be ideal, so Jose suddenly sank down, sat on the ground, and then stretched out his left foot towards the post to block Ramsey's shot with his foot.

Vera defused this attack at the Arsenal.

Villa's counter-attacking chance.

Bannan made a long pass in the backfield, and Benteke formed a one-knife trend after receiving the ball.

Running wildly, Benteke was like a running cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he was already on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area.

At this moment, Szczesny attacked, and outside the box, he actually blocked the ball controlled by Benteke with both hands.

"Beep, beep..."

Handball from outside the box by the goalkeeper.

Villa were awarded a free-kick in front.

Bannan was in charge of the free-kick and instead of shooting straight at goal, he opted for a free-kick cross.

Clark grabbed the pass and landed, and without saying a word, Clark swept directly, but unfortunately, it was blocked by Szczesny.

The ball didn't roll far and fell to Weimann's feet.

Is there any reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth? Without making any adjustments, Weimann volleyed the ball towards the centre of the goal.

The ball went in?

The ball did fly into the Arsenal goal, but the goal was disallowed.
