Pre-match views from the forum:
2Smokeyy: “Partey has to start here. They can’t be taking all the precautions by sending a physio with him on international duty and trying to wrap him in cotton wool to not playing him right from the start in this sort of game.
He had a little cameo against City but this is arguably a better midfield battle for him and Rice vs Enzo and Caicedo. I think Jorginho wouldn’t be the best option in this one IMO.”
Badger_Revenge: “Sterling looked really dangerous against Burnley. Virtually responsible for all 4 goals. Can’t leave him to run free down the left side like that. Fulham barely looked awake before Chelsea had scored twice.
I don’t think they’ll catch Arsenal that flat-footed on defence playing away. Arsenal should be able to score based on what I saw.”
