Arsenal manager Unai Emery left many supporters in shock with his starting XI for the north London derby.The Gunners are at Wembley to take on bitter rivals Tottenham, but will begin the game with Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lucas Torreira on the bench.Some fans even joked this was the boss playing a prank on them.
Me since morning pic.twitter.com/oXc4PQhz7c— P (@Cechque) March 2, 2019A win for Arsenal would consign Spurs to a third straight defeat in a row and close the gap on Mauricio Pochettino’s side to just one point.Defeats against Burnley and Chelsea have booted Tottenham out of the title race as they now trail leaders Liverpool by nine points, with Pochettino saying the club need a ‘magic guy’ to land them a title if chairman Daniel Levy demanded it.And it appears these Gooners are hoping Emery has a trick up his sleeve…

If we dont win today the boss is going to get some heavy heavy criticism for the team selection…..I mean…. torreira….auba….benched?— Gooner DP (@GoonerDP21) March 2, 2019
Spurs feeling tired in the 65th minute, they look at the touchline and see Torreira, Auba and Ozil coming on. The game plan is not just about a starting 11, theres a vision.— Next Generation Arsenal (@scoutingindoors) March 2, 2019
Our bench is very strong today. Auba, Ozil, Kolasinac, Torreira and Suarez all could come on and make a positive impact. Lets just hope were not losing when they come on and its too late.— In Emery We Trust (@JackTheGooner) March 2, 2019
You HAVE to start with @Aubameyang7 in a North London Derby. He's our main man, not a bloody bench-warmer. Jeez, Unai – I like you, but what are you doing? #THFCvAFC pic.twitter.com/fWMMfvCGe9— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 2, 2019

Is that Mustafi right back? I dont have BT Sport but I might call up and cancel anyway.— Daley (@DaleyAFC) March 2, 2019
Torreira not starting is strange. Also don't see the point in Monreal over Kolasinac. They're similar enough defensively these days but Kolasinac is better in attack. Wanted us to try Mustafi at RB at some stage, not sure this was the time to try it.— Paddy (@VieiraPaddy) March 2, 2019Even the Tottenham fans waded in, as it appeared Shkodran Mustafi would be starting at right-back.
