What's really nice is that the 4-0 lead enabled some more rotation.
Martinelli-Nketiah-Nelson
Xhaka/Ødegaard-Vieira
Partey
Tierney-Gabriel-Saliba-Tomiyasu
Ramsdale if Turner is not fit.
Defenders don't need to run as much as other players, so it's important to play better players there from the start. Cedric can come from the bench if there is a lead.
You have to start Partey here to take a two goal lead as soon as possible. After that you can rest the best players.
Arteta might even go with Jesus starting instead of Nketiah, because with the 5 substitutions rule you can rest him later.
It's really important to start strong, score a couple goals and then take it easy. It's a must win game so even a 1-0 lead is not comfortable.
With a 2-0 lead from the first half, you can make "free" substitutions at half-time. Zurich has nothing to play for, so at 2-0 they won't push it much I think.

They have 3rd place to play for, which gives conference league football. For them I’m sure that’s important.
So we can’t go in thinking it’s won. As with any game, if we want the win we have to work for it.

I wouldn’t start Partey here. Think we can do the job without him and he is too important to risk.

This will be an unpopular opinion BUT
I think we should play Jesus in first half. Let him bag a couple of goals. Guy must have some serious blue balls about now. He needs a release. Just tear them a new one in the first half.

We could probably start our kids / squad players here if we wanted. They're rubbish. Wouldn't want more than 2 players to play that are starting against Chelsea.
Can't wait to be avoiding these bvm sides next season.
Ruins my Thursdays watching us play these plumber sides.

That should be enough to see off Zurich. Have all the big guns on the bench just in case.

Ah, thanks, good point I missed that one. But anyway if it's at 2-0, and they will attack, the counter-attacks should come.
To get that 2-0 lead, you have to work at it. But Forest should be a better team than Zurich (surely according to squad cost), and that match could have been was 5-0 and could have easily been more.

What time to PSV play? Do they have an early kick off? Ie will we know if we have to win before KO?

Both games played at the same time. Thursday 8pm.
If Saka doesn't make the squad for Thursday, it would be nice to see Amario Cozier-Duberry appear on the bench - holding out faint hope for a cameo if the game goes how we want it to.

Even a laboured 1-0 or 2-0 win is fine. Keep most of our eggs in the chelsea basket please

Xhaka is suspended for this match, fortunately for the guy. He has played a lot.
I would not risk starting Partley. We need him at the bridge. He was a huge miss at Old Trafford. We could have easily beaten those frauds with him.
I would actually want us to play 442 with Lokongo and Vieiri in the middle and Jesus with Eddie up top. Other positions same players you listed. Jesus to be SS role.

If we lose against Zürich we would have won 300 games at the Emirates and lost 150.
Just some random stat.
