No Pepe on the bench either. Very weak bench.
Yeah, that is a pretty weak bench. Only Gabi, Holding and Eddie are really usable (maybe Sambi in a pinch).
Don't like Zaha v Cedric at all. That's where they will look to exploit us.
A point here would be a good result.
Looking at the bench Flores has a chance to come on if we are chasing the game.

If we're chasing the game, surely Gabi and Eddie will come on before Flores?
Dont love that we've seemed to draw 4 of the last 5 games v Palace
Kid may be a promise but I would only be wanting to see him if we are winning by 3 or 4

All good.
Bar Zaha that Palace team doesn’t worry me too much. Having said that, they’ve got a pretty strong bench.
Interesting that Tavares is given this match. Wouldn't have guessed that but I do welcome it.
Edit: April fools' yall!

Not much of a choice considering Tierney isn't in the squad.

Well yeah that would explain it. 😆 Haven't heard anything about injuries to neither him nor Pepe.
This is worrying re Tierney. Tavares needs to step up now.

Gallagher is the one that worries me. And our bench. And our fullbacks. And Xhaka.
Still think we'll win.
Sky have spent about 30 minutes discussing Harry Kane in the build up to this game. They’ve barely mentioned tonight’s game so far.
Zaha is going to be his cunty self and Gallagher will bring too much hustle. Backing palace and the draw as an emotional hedge
Tierney and Tomiyasu out for the season most likely...Kinda shitty, lets hope it's not ACL for Tierney, I don't think his body can take that one
Thought Tomi was getting close to a return. Did something else happen in the last couple days?
Fuck, Tavares is a big downgrade for the rest of the season. 🙁
Wait, Tomiyasu is out for the season too? Wasn't he supposed to be almost fit?
Bad start to the night...

No...but he has been close for a long time now, clasic Arsenal with no exact injury just "calf injury" and no time table. I have a feeling they will let him heal and just pack him in for next season.

Tomi been training. I expect him to be back next game.
