How to check Preston North End vs Arsenal FC lineups (simple guide for fans)

Okay, let me walk you through exactly how I found the Preston North End vs Arsenal lineups last night. Big cup match happening, right? I needed to know who was starting ASAP.

My Starting Point

First, I grabbed my phone around an hour before kickoff. Didn’t overthink it – just opened the same app I always use for scores. You know, that big green one everybody has? Yeah, that.

Scrolled down the “Matches” tab until I spotted the EFL Cup section. Tapped right on Preston vs Arsenal. Boom – match center screen pops up.

Where Things Got Stuck

Now here’s where I messed up initially. I expected lineups to be front and center but nah. Saw these tabs:

  • Commentary
  • Stats
  • Table

Kept swiping left and right like an idiot until my brother yelled “Dude, the lineups button has two little people icons!”. Looked closer and yep – tiny silhouette icons at the top right corner.

The Simple Fix

Tapped that icon and it opened clean. Starting XI for both sides laid out in formation shapes. For Arsenal:

  • Ramsdale in goal (no surprise)
  • White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney back four
  • Sambi, Xhaka midfield

Scrolled down for subs too – saw Marquinhos and Martinelli warming bench.

Bonus Tips That Worked

Since kickoff was close, I double-checked two other spots real quick:

Arsenal’s official Twitter – They tweeted graphic with lineup exactly 75 mins before start. Same info as the app but nicer visual.

Live blogs – The Athletic’s minute-by-minute had lineup posted early plus manager quotes explaining choices.

Whole process took maybe 90 seconds total after I stopped being blind to that tiny lineup icon. Moral of the story? Know where the dang silhouette button hides in your app!
