Quite astonishing that we are mid October and so far we are unbeaten in all competitions. Long may it continue.

Arteta on Saka: “We are hopeful. We have a session this afternoon. Let’s see.”
On Havertz: “If he trains well today he has a good chance.”
On Martinelli: “Yesterday he did a bit outside, today will be another step and we will understand if we take the risk.”
On Partey: “Thomas is fit, yes.”
On Odegaard: “He’s not fit for this game. Next week will be crucial.”
On White, Timber, Zinchenko:
“They are quite close the three of them. Today we have to try and push. Hopefully we will have some positive news and we will have some players back tomorrow.”

Need to play as full strength as we can, think martinelli will sit out rather than risk him.
Saka, Partey and king Kai will start.
Feels like ages since we last played. Looking forward to the game. 
Saturday evening games are a great kick off time aswell

These international games have really made this season so far feel very stop start. I’m not even buzzing for a game that I should already be for.

I always feel the season is in blocks
The autumn block with three consecutive international breaks
September - November
The winter block with all the football
November - March
- March international break
The run in
March - May

I agree with your list, even though it is very hard to read

Assuming Saka Martinelli and Havertz are out, we could possibly have a front three of Sterling, Jesus and Trossard. With the midfield three being fairly defensive players.
Why would Havertz be out? Isn’t he rested?
We can live without Sakam for this match.

Somehow this year feels more stop start with the internationals though, dunno if it’s actually changed or just me being fed up of internationals.

I can remember the 3 block autumnal international breaks even when I was in high school 
I think people notice them more as this is the first time in three years we had a summer international tournament
Yeah, but it still feels like the season hasn’t “got out of the blocks” yet, so to speak.
