PLAY TEAMSHEET: Can YOU name the Arsenal team that beat Sunderland 2-0 in 2017? Or pick YOUR team and guess their starting XI
Welcome back to Teamsheet... Mail Sport's original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.
Back in 2017, Arsenal were at a slight wit's end but hunting a Champions League spot. Though they eventually missed out, they made sure the race went to the final day by beating Sunderland 2-0.
The Black Cats themselves finished rock bottom, but can now look forward to a return to the top flight after winning this year's Championship play-offs. We, though, want to know if you can name the Arsenal side that Arsene Wenger named on that day in 2017.
It's just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score... full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.
Best of luck!
HOW TO PLAY
The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!
If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point - so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.
Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow.
You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.
So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.

Adam Idah must crack Celtic contrast for Ireland as country striker battle could shift to Parkhead
The Hoops hitman still has some doubters to win over despite rattling 20 goals on the way to the domestic double last season Adam Idah gets a fair bit of flak for a guy who scores every 100 or so minutes on the pitch for Celtic. The big striker notched 20 goals last season for the Hoops and to add to the nine he bagged during his six months loan stint the previous campaign – which included three in the Champions League, a couple against Rangers at Ibrox and the winner in the Old Firm Scottish Cup Final in 2024. Yet there are still some doubters to be won over on the back of his big money move from Norwich City last summer. And Idah's international boss Heimer Hallgrimsson can see signs of progress already. The frontman was handed a start for Republic of Ireland in their 1-1 draw with Senegal on Friday night and Icelandic gaffer spotted some encouraging signs. Hallgrimsson knows Idah's role with the Irish side is completely at odds with the task the striker faces with Celts. In Scotland, it's often up against 10 men parked behind the ball and space is tighter than a Weight Watchers meeting in a phone box. The boot is often on the other foot with Ireland but Hallgrimsson has been impressed with the versatility shown by the Cork lad. Idah is added more and more to his game with club and country and he's convinced the big man will shine for both. Hallgrimsson said: 'He produced a solid performance. His workrate was, I thought, better than often before. Again, it's healthy competition up front. 'Adam took the job seriously. Workrate has not been an issue but in his club it's just so different a role and it's difficult to switch. 'We need a lot of defending from our strikers and he's just not used to it at Celtic – where they have their possession at say 60 or 70 or 80 percent in games. 'The space he needs to work on in games is small. It's a switch and hopefully players are learning more and more. He is growing. He knows what we expect, so that's a positive sign.' Idah is battling it out with AZ Alkmaar's Troy Parrot and Brighton's Evan Ferguson to be the main man up top for Ireland and he's likely to be given another crack in the clash against Luxembourg on Tuesday. And there's still a chance Idah and Ferguson could be club rivals as well. Celtic were in the hunt to land the Seagulls ace on loan in January before West Ham stepped in. The 20-year-old's domestic career has stalled over the last season after bursting on to the scene the previous campaign when he rattled 16 goals. It's been a tougher 12 months and the spell at West Ham didn't go to plan, with just eight goalless appearances, mainly from the bench. Ferguson was on trial at Parkhead as a teenager when he was with Bohemians and has admitted to being a boyhood Hoops fans. Rodgers is in the marker for a striker to compete with Idah next term – and could be keeping a close eye on Ireland this week. Ferguson's international gaffer is hoping to give the frontman a spark that he can take back into the club game for pre-season. Hallgrimsson said: 'Evan has been really good and we were even thinking of starting him against Senegal. 'He's been sharp in training and I think you saw when he came on he was sharp. We've been really happy with him in the sessions. Whether he was ready for 90 minutes, we were not sure. 'When you do friendlies and give players a chance you will get answers. Not all of them will be positive answers but you need to have answers. 'The new players have rocked the boat a bit, so the players watching will think 'oh, this one is coming'.' Hallgrimsson also has Hoops defender Liam Scales on board. The centre back came off the bench against Senegal and is in line for a start in Luxembourg after another solid season for Celts, where he eventually saw off the challenge of Auston Trusty to nail down a starting berth for the run in. Hallgrimsson said: 'We need to have more than one option because if you are injured in September you might miss out for the whole series of six qualifiers. We must be prepared for that as well.'

‘Not a football club' – Former Man Utd boss launches scathing attack on old side while heaping praise on bitter rivals
LOUIS VAN GAAL has launched a stunning broadside on former club Manchester United.

And he's been watching their horror 2024/25 season from afar. The Red Devils finished without silverware last term, languishing 15th in the Premier League. INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe employed Ruben Amorim midway through the season to stop the rot.

Van Gaal told Sky Sports: "It is still a commercial club. "It is not a football club. I have said that before - and that's always difficult." The 73-year-old believes the club will never find success unless Amorim is given the chance to choose his own players.

Van Gaal also begged United chiefs to "pay attention" to the way Premier League champions Liverpool are operating under Arne Slot.

That figure is lower than three United managers who have followed him through the door at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Erik ten Hag all boast higher win percentages. But current boss Amorim has the lowest of all five. The Portuguese manager has won just 16 of his 42 games in charge - a paltry win percentage of 38.10 per cent. That's the worst of any permanent United manager since Frank O'Farrell in 1971.
