When it comes to Arsenal team news, you never quite know what Arsene Wenger is going to pull out of his trench coat.
So, for tonight’s game against Bayern Munich, the boss has opted to reinstate Alexis and Walcott to the starting lineup.

Here’s how the news went down on Twitter:
Damn Daniel, that is one attacking team. https://t.co/NTuVIhU3Et

Fuck I hate when #Arsenal do that to me. I see the lineup and I suddenly get all "Let's do this" again.

That Arsenal team = ATTACK…..but left really exposed on the break

Strongest starting line-up possible tonight. Ramsey and Xhaka partnership has potential. Good to see Alexis back too. #AFCVFCB https://t.co/iLnSyeAM9s

Lucas for Walcott but I suppose you can't ask for too much more

it's a strong line up. Interesting to see Ox at 10.. very fast attack. Would've been nice if we were still in this tie

no Lucas and Ramsey is shit….

would swap Lucas for Walcott otherwise looks good

would have preferred Lucas to Walcott, but it's good line up, at least there no coq…

Just to add insult to injury Wenger has finally chosen a lineup we should have gone for weeks ago #Arsenal

what's the point?
— Alex Adams (@BigAl_AFC) March 7, 2017
hmmmn…To be fair…It's the best we've got at the moment…Doubts about the Ox as a No10….

we don't have any better except maybe Cech in goal (not on current form)

that line up would work well in a 343. I wish it was a 343
