Head loss

Sigh

Sigh

It’s joever…

Is there a place that tracks EPLinjuires? My bias thinks it’s only Arsenal that suffer injuries to key players at the worst possible time.

There goes my confidence for tonight

Gonna be a huge miss

Odegaard - Zubimendi - Merino

Last time out Zubimendi struggled against Villa’s tactics, so not great news.

Midfield is seriously weakened without Rice in it. McGinn, Tielemans and Rodgers will have a field day now.

Unbelievable

Ffs. Gonna take a special display from us to win without Rice tonight.

I wouldn’t be against playing him as the deepest midfielder. It’s the out of possession element that most worries me against Villa, so playing a destroy type defensive midfielder could help.

Still expect it to be Merino in the midfield as he’s one of Arteta’s chosen ones.

True. Big Gabi back helps alleviate the need for such heavy reinforcement at the base of the midfield, which is a massive factor. I think you could play either and we’ll have enough to muster what Villa throw our way.

No Rice, Timber and Calafiori it seems.

Have any good news ? Just damn

completely fucked in defence & going forward if all these guys are absent. Hopefully they’re missing for another reason and are on their way.

True. They could be helping Santa.

If the rumours have substance, then he’s my new and slightly downgraded predicted line-up

——————-Raya——————

White - Saliba - Gabriel - Hincapié

Odegaard - Zubimendi - Merino

Saka - Gyokeres - Trossard
