It’s Eddie or Trossard I guess.
I think Arteta will pick Eddie, although I’d go with Trossard.
If Saka isn’t ready to start though there wont be many doubts.

As much as I prefer Trossard to Eddie, Eddie isn’t really a viable substitute in my book. He either starts or doesn’t play. Trossard can at least play from the bench.

Good. I want to see what Havertz can offer in a game that doesn’t really matter but is still played at a level beyond a friendly.

where can we watch this?
Then it’s surely Partey on the bench, unless Havertz plays as a false 9 or even as a RW in stead of Saka (I don’t think there’s a big chance that happens).
What if we go 3-5-2?
Edit: NVM that still makes no sense. Maybe he wants to give Rice an hour at the six?

False nine Kai or actual #9 Kai
Looking forward to this game. Also good to know Havertz will be in the game. Nketiah would be ineffective against City, so looking to see how our front line can cope with them.
Okay… Havertz failed as a nine playing for Chelsea so not sure we need more tape on him playing at the nine.

I expect Rice to start putting in some tough tackles today too. Can’t let their midfield just run riot today.

Be nice to get a win against Pep for the first time in what feels like forever
That was his first stint as a 9.
His on his 2nd9 for The Arsenal.
Not a bad line up.
I really want out back line to do better than last week and I really want Timber to make a better impact.
Iterested to see Kai up front, it could be interesting to see him with Martinelli making the runs.
Odegaard, Partey and Rice midfield.
It doesn’t get much better than that.

Wouldn’t mind seeing them rotate a bit. Could be interesting.

Bit harsh on Trossard imo but this is a very strong team regardless.
This is why I’m not worried with Jesus being out. We’ve got many options up top, too many in fact.
Could be very fluid in the forward positions.
