I hope it's Pepe up top and Martinelli on the left.

Have players gotten one dose, two or none at all?

Chelsea are going to put a lot on Alonso and James to pin us back today. Expect Havertz and Mount to tuck in and crowd out the middle. Its not going to be easy with that back four of ours.

Alonso is the weak link in their defense. Sadly our right flank is cack to exploit that weakness.

I think for the most part their defense is no better than ours, expect for Mendy to Leno lately. Just an assortment of thugs and I expect dark arts from any one of them today, especially Rudiger.

Yes.

I just don't trust Pepe at all, unless we're intentionally ceding the ball to Chelsea and breaking at them.

He was shocking at Brentford.

I thought Kolasinac was gone. Why not have a kid on the bench.

When do you guys think Leno will be replaced by Ramsdale in the starting XI? I am not being critical, I really don't know which should be the best course of action in that matter.

Pepe was OK at Brentford. Remains our biggest goal threat.

Hard to know. Could be next week, might not fully happen at all this season.

Yep, with Auba out he's the biggest goal threat in the squad by far. Would have been a sackable offense to exclude him today.

I still think he'll leave in this window. There have been no rumours at all so far, but we're going to have to recuperate money somehow this summer, and Leno and Holding are the two obvious names right now who would command some kind of fee. They've also both been replaced already. It makes little sense to keep him from the club's point of view. He's not going to go for more in a year's time.

Which is exactly why he'll be staying on. We have form for this

Journalists have already pre-written their Lukaku narratives as new successor to Drogba in tormenting Arsenal. Really really hoping we show a sturdiness today with the crowd backing.

I just want to see some decent football, create a few chances, show me there's a plan.
