Attempting to read the Arteta quotes is fraught with danger but it sounds like Kai and Max are in full training now but Ben White maybe not.
Out of the three, I’m expecting Havertz to be on the bench but not the other two, Dowman has played U21s this week so I think we’ll only see him on the bench if Havertz isn’t.

Wouldn’t risk him here but good news regardless.
Tentative about this one and Brighton. This feels like our testing phase. We came out of Spurs with flying colours.

Just get the fucking win. Hope we score early so Chelsea need to come out a bit.
Good news about Kai.
Looks like White is cooked

Can’t see us beating the same team 3+ times in a season, but we need the points more than ever now.
Basically have no more wriggle room against City till our game with them.

So he was close against Spurs too after all.
Will be massive for us if have him around for those CL games, along this crucial part of the league season too.

Such a shame about Ben White. Don’t feel like he’s been fit to play more than a game or two for a while now. Even when he’s on the bench you don’t see him much

The one time he was didn’t we start him 4 games in like 12 days or something crazy a few months ago

I think it’s pretty rare in football, especially for good teams unless they’re woefully bad

Can’t wait to see our winning goal cleared off the line by the Law of Averages.

Yea I remember that lol talk about running a broken man into the ground. He’s definitely never doing that again
Yeah it’s a huge shame because I feel like Saka’s overall game benefits so massively from White’s aggressive overlapping runs

Nowhere near specific enough
