Pre-match views from the forum:
El Duderino: “I would not risk Trossard, Martinelli or Rice in this.
At most, I would give the latter two some 20 minutes for fitness and that’s that. Should be a good chance for some players to get up and running.
Defense the hardest part to rotate. Normally we’d put Tomi at CB, but he sort of has to play LB with Kiwor central?”
RunTheTrap: “I need Havertz to give me something (pause) so I would start him and hopefully he can do something.
What Arteta will do:
Nelson-Nketiah-Vieira
Havertz-Jorginho-ESR
Tomiyasu-Kiwior-Saliba-Cedric
Ramsdale
What I would do:
Nelson-Havertz-Vieira
Nwaneri-Jorginho-ESR
Kiwior-Tomiyasu-Saliba-Walters
Ramsdale
Come on Teta, after your horror show on Sunday, the least you can do is experiment and give the youngsters a shot. I also think it’s a good opportunity to get Havertz firing (lol) at a position where he can contribute more than just tackling.”
