Sicario2 - Tier 1 i hope he dont rush them and play them through injuries.
Reading between the lines my educated guess is this:
Cala - out of the game Timber - out of the game Saka - on the bench
I genuinely would play Rice as LB.
Sicario2 - Tier 1
Just go and sign his brother and convert him to a fullback. Has the same skill and intensity, but probably isn't good enough as a midfielder to warrant signing him in that position.
Clrnc I reckon there's a chance he plays Saka.
Clrnc this very much, I think we've been bad at this. If he's not quite right you have to find another way not risk pushing him early because without him for a period of time that could be end of season.
Cala being available would be surprising but huge. He does need to go easy on the aggressive sliding tackles (against Southampton he did one and it was a miracle he didn’t do any harm to himself or the player).
Needs to have better risk management otherwise he will always be on the treatment table.
I dont think there's a chance for Cala.. Timber, maybe.. Saka, maybe...
Mikel needs to be bold and play MLS. Looks plenty good enough.
Recon we’ll see Partey at right back.
Which could see us field a midfield three of Merino, Rice and Havertz with Jesus up top.
Either that or we see Ethan play
Partey at RB will get torn apart by Diaz pace. I hope we go for this. Don't need too much changes. Hoping for Nwaneri but he will play Merino so....
Raya White Kiwior Gabriel MLS Partey Rice Merino Martinelli Havertz Trossard
Clrnc — great line up, though I’d keep Martinelli on the left flank as he’s got TAA running scared.
Not sure if Trossard has played right wing for us. Perhaps we could sneak Nwaneri in there?!
Then let Trossard be first sub.
Isn't ode back?
naz no.
Arteta will end up going with the obvious team. White at RB, Kiwior at LB and everyone else the same up front
naz
So who the hell partners Gabriel in the middle?
Sicario2 - Tier 1 that was a typo. I'm pretty sure calafiori will be back
naz no chance
Feeling like a write off with the players out. Any dropped points already feel damaging in terms of a title chance but a draw feels like it would be an amazing result this week.
Average listed odds have narrowed slightly but we're currently still favoured by the bookies.
The result win lose or draw is a proper coin toss, and that for me makes this all the more a must win.
