Pre-match views from the forum:
OnlyOne: “Think it’ll be interesting to see how we set up next game, you’d expect us to start a PL strength side and we could see Calafiori take place at either CB or LB which will tell us a lot.
I expect it to be Cala, Gabby, Timber, White.”
ASAP Berg: “Very curious to see more of Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, especially LS in midfield showing more of his passing range. A lot of super-skilled young English midfielders show drive, and composure but not many with the passing, the kid could be the complete package.
More of Timber too. How do we fit him in the starting 11? At the expense of who?”
Yousif Arsenal: “Can’t wait for tomorrow’s game going against Alonso gonna be a fun test. Hopefully, Calafiori get involved also would love Nwaneri and Skelly get minutes even tho we entering into a period where the first team need many minutes so they’ll be ready for match day one.”
