I’d go with a heavily rotated line up. It should still be good enough to give a proper battle to Lens if the boys go 100% and with an attitude to give Arteta some headaches for the future.
If it’s still tight in the second half, getting a few stars on the pitch for about half an hour wont kill us.
Ramsdale
Barti Tomi Gabriel Kiwi
Jorginho
Vieira/Kai (depends on who plays City) Trossard
Nelson Eddie ESR
All focus on City (don’t tell them )! Let’s go boys!
Hopefully Havertz’s confidence is on the rise and we reap the benefits on the pitch. The fans are definitely making an effort to make him feel at home.
Are people forgetting this is the Champions League?! Yeah it’s not the toughest group on paper, but it’s still the bloody Champions League - and until we win the group, we play our strongest team!
We’ve barely started the season and people want our best player rested in a competition we’ve been trying to get into for the last 5 years! A competition, that before this season - Saka had never played in might I add, so I very much doubt he’d want to be rested anyway!
