Unai Emery's team selection to face FC Vorskla in the Europa League on Thursday night certainly got fans talking.
The Spaniard named a very young team for the clash in Kiev, with a frontline consisting of Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Emile Smith Rowe.
And the bench was even younger, with the likes of Charlie Gilmour, Tyreece John-Jules, Bukayo Saka and Zech Medley all named amongst the substiutes.
But it was his decision to start with Rob Holding which really caught the eye - as fans discussed what it could mean ahead of Sunday's north London derby with Spurs.
Holding has been in excellent form of late, but plenty of supporters believe the fact that he started in Ukraine on Thursday night means that he will sit out Sunday's clash with Spurs at the Emirates - with Emery instead opting for a centre-back pairing of Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi against Tottenham.
And the potential inclusion of Mustafi in the derby does not seem to have gone down to well. Here's a selection of what's been said on social media.
