Here we go again.
West Ham are in fine form, but from time to time, they just turn to shit for no reason. So they won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 in the last 5 in the PL. Funny, the last 2 games they lost they conceded 10 goals, to Liverpool and Fulham. But one was in the cup, so no idea what kind of team they played away at Liverpool, the Fulham game was in the league. They are 7th in the league, with 30 points and a goal difference of +1. They have a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
No time to rotate here, but I would drop Martinelli as his form has been bad this season. Who do we play there? Probably Trossard, I would like to maybe try Nelson? But I think Arteta sees him as RW so he will simply never play.
Raya
White - Saliba - Gabriel - Zinchenko
Rice - ESR
Odegaard
Saka - Jesus - Trossard
We must get the 3 points. Also, my birthday is right after this game, so the player should have that in the back of their heads, and will go for it.
EDIT: as Havertz is suspended. I put ESR there, but I assume Arteta will play Trossard with Martinelli on the left.
I forgot about Jorginho lol. Maybe Rice - Jorginho and Trossard on the left?
