This game worries me I have tbh - some refer to the players they are missing but I dont really pay attention to that cos imo they dont have any "star players" anymore anyway. What always seems to cause us issues is when we play a team of committed players who battle for every ball and we struggle to match their intensity, so what players they are missing wont matter cos they will simply sub in other worker bees who will swarm us from minute one. We have to play this game with real tempo from the start, and playing rice in the 8 will help cos he will lead the charge to close them down higher up the pitch.

Arsenal:

33 R. Calafiori
11,Gabriel Martinelli
23,Mikel Merino
53,E. Nwaneri
22,David Raya
2,W. Saliba
5,T. Partey
12,J. Timber
9,Gabriel Jesus
6,Gabriel Magalhães
8,M. Ødegaard (c)


Substitutes:

20,Jorginho
46,I. Kabia
15,J. Kiwior
49,M. Lewis-Skelly
32,Neto
41,D. Rice
3,K. Tierney
19,L. Trossard
17,O. Zinchenko

Nwaneri gets his first Prem start. Think I'd feel moire confident if Rice was playing instead of Partey...

All sorts of rumours on YT etc saying a lot of our players have got the Squids!?


Their 2 most dangerous players are Wissa and Mbeumo.

Rice must be carrying an injury ? Subbed off last game and sub this one. Really hope nwaneri has a cracker of a game and makes augie a happy gooner 😊
