No Charlie Austin At Arsenal As Koeman Shuffles The Pack
Charlie Austin is missing from the even the Saints bench tonight at the Emirates as Ronald Koeman again shuffles the pack.
Ronald Koeman is changing the team again although there is no place on the bench for Charlie Austin presumably through injury, although in his place Pelle returns to the bench so not abad replacement.
In the starting XI Matt Targett & Jordie Clasie drop to the bench with Romeu & James Ward Prowse coming into the side with still no sign of Steven Davis.
Whether this means a return to a 4-5-1 formation or if theformation of the past three ames will stay is yet to be seen.
