Fans challenged to name Arsenal's 2001 starting XI
A new interactive game called Teamsheet is challenging football fans to recall starting lineups from past matches. Today, players are asked to name the Arsenal team that lost to Middlesbrough in 2001. This match significantly impacted the Premier League title race, as it allowed Manchester United to take the lead. On that day in April, Arsenal faced Middlesbrough at Highbury but suffered a surprising 3-0 defeat. The loss was especially disappointing for Arsenal as they were competing with United for the title. Middlesbrough, who was fighting to avoid relegation, ended the season safely in the league. Participants can also choose any other Premier League team and guess their starting XI. The game encourages players to score as few points as possible by making accurate guesses. Correctly guessing a player's name on the first try earns just one point, while revealing identities after multiple guesses can lead to higher scores. The game is designed to be fun and nostalgic for football fans. Players are invited to join in and share their scores. The interaction also opens the floor for discussion among fans about their favorite teams and matches from the Premier League era.
