Im not sure where everyone's ideas about how best to rotate are for this game. This is the business end of the season. Your best players play. This is balls to the wall time. We need to win at all costs. No shoehorning players in, no playing them out of position, etc. Win. The. Game. Thats it. a 12 point lead before the City match is what matters. Even though it's temporary, a double digit lead before they play is a psychological advantage. Yeah, they may beat Chelsea (or they may not?) and they have a game in hand, but this isn't the time we faff around with lineups.
If everyone that is close to fitness is fit, this is how we line up
Raya
White/Timber (preferably Timber)
Saliba
Gabriel
Calafiori
Zubi
Rice
Odegaard
Saka (if fit, if not, Noni starts)
Gyokeres
Martinelli/Trossard
Then we can bring in the likes of Havertz, Dowman, Norgaard, Marti/Tross (whichever doesnt start), Saka/Noni (whichever doesnt start), etc.
Every one of our starters should be in the red zone. Thats how it works with being a starter. Push until you can't push anymore. Then someone else comes in to take your place. Pedal to the metal, balls to the wall, etc, etc, etc. You get the idea. If the starters aren't getting it done, we have difference makers on the bench. Thats the squad we've built, specifically for this kind of scenario.
