Zubimendi can be nicely rotated if need be. Will likely need him for the Atleti match next week though.
Tough decision. Fulham away after an international break, ideally you’d start with your strongest.
I think we’ll see:
Raya;
Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori;
Merino, Zubimendi, Rice;
Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
or
Raya;
Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori;
Eze, Zubimendi, Rice;
Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
Would Arteta dare play Merino up front over Gyokeres? 
Eze over Merino please and thank you

This please. Eze should be in the midfield as often as possible and having no Ode makes that an even easier choice.

Merino and Rice midfield is eye bleed stuff.
Eze all day replacing Odegaard.

Eze has to be in this midfield, unless he has some fitness issues.
When you talk about Merino in midfield (combined with Rice, as 8s) it’s not that the issue is that it’s too defensive. You just have no proper ball proggression, creation, skill to make something happen.. You’re only relying on transition and for the opponent to leave some space for you.
It’s almost like playing Gyokeres in midfield, and no one wants to see that.
Robinson a miss for them
Smith Rowe as false 9 then

Finally some real football.
International football is nothing but an annoying hiatus,of which injuries seem to be the norm.
CL on Tuesday so a confident away win would be a perfect. Let’s have a solid 0-4 away win.
VG to bag a brace .

Gyokeres goal needed. This is the game that I’m nervous about in our next 5.

I have a feeling Martinelli might score a goal or two today. Has been in decent form recently and had some good games against Fulham before.

We really need to win this. Assuming Man City beat Everton they will be level on points with us when we kick off at Craven Cottage.
City are gonna get hit with a Moyesie special
