Clrnc Arsenal XI: Raya; Partey, White, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard, Martinelli
Arsenal subs: Neto, Nichols, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus.
He really have 0 faith in Kiwior lol.
2 terrible games for Trossard and he still starts as expected.
We need Trossard playing off Havertz if we're to have any attacking impetus from midfield with Odegaard out. Especially with Partey dropping to RB and Merino/Rice in the 6/8 roles.
Persinally, assuming Timber and Saka are actually fit, I'd have gone with
Raya
Timber White Gabriel Kiwior
----------------Partey
----------Rice-----------------
------------------------Trossard
Saka----------Havertz-------Martinelli
With either Sterling/Nwaneri coming off the bench if we need a goal and Lewis Skelly coming on as part of a back 5 if we are going all out defence.
