In all seriousness, I can get behind some rotation but I’d draw the line before Elneny/Eddie/Willock and the like. Something like Ceballos to give Partey a rest, and Martinelli at CF if Auba and Laca can’t start, for eg, I’d be fine with.
Ceballos was out with an injury last time I checked.
Auba will be out because he either travelled abroad or came in contact with someone with COVID-19 per the latest reports.
Martinelli as ST is too much of a risk right now. Hasn’t played in ages there and I don’t think Mikel used him in that role since he came. I wouldn’t necessarily object it if Mikel gave it a go though.
We should have enough quality around Elneny and Eddie anyway to get past Wolves with their recent form.
This is a must win but I’m getting worried. Saka and Tierney still doubts, Laca and Pepe both gassed, Auba who the fuck knows. Arteta needs to find a lineup that can score a goal or two.
The last PL match we played against them was at the Emirates, they beat us 2-1 and since then Wolves have only won once in eleven PL games.
Also their home form is poor so we should beat them.
They have injury problems and obviously miss Jimenez and are struggling upfront.
I’ll go 2-1 to us with Lacazette and Saka to score.
This would be a good match to play Gabriel and see if he can regain some form. We’ll be in their half the entire match so having a more athletic CB out there to deal with Traore and Neto on the break wouldn’t be a bad thing.
