Not a back 5 team thankfully, but physical and dominant aerially. Worried about Ndiaye a lot and really not happy with Joao Pedro at all recently.
Really wouldn't be mad at Acheampong at RB either for height, but Gusto adds so much dynamism we need so I went with him.

Very tough game again. Expect lots of long balls and direct play (most aerial duels won in UCL btw lol). They are very non-aggressive while defending so Gittens and Estevao's 1v1 ability will be our biggest weapon. Expecting Enzo and Cucu to start, but I prefer them later on.

Hyper-direct, high-pressing and physical team away...
I went with our best team pretty much - adding physicality in midfield with James, most reliable CB pairing, dynamic and aggressive FBs, runners on the wings and Palmer behind a real number 9. Enzo can rest imo.

As expected its dominated by Lucy Bedroque and Kuru. Also 266 genres seems like a lot wow

They can either play a back 4 compact mid-block or completely play the 5 atb low block with 2 strikers up-front since it worked better against Man City.
My preferred line-up:

Arsenal looks to take away any chaos from games and control it on and off the ball. They pretty much never concede more than 1 point of xg aswell. They are the best team itl so we have to ride on that momentum and use the atmosphere of our stadium to win.

My preferred lineup:
2 huge games at the Bridge. I'm expecting us to to be very aggressive and it wouldn't surprise me to see Gusto at RB, James at RCM and Neto at LW, acting as that LWB like against PSG.
Either way I trust our squad is good enough to compete and hopefully win

Burnley statistically is the worst team in the league with least xG and most shots on target allowed, but this is exactly the type of team that will frustrate us the most.
Some key players need to rest and this should be enough to get us 3 points and be ready for 2 big games soon 🤞🤞

- best current CB pairing
- Delap in-front of JP
- Gittenstevao wing
We won't be able to maintain the energy (shoutout Azerbaijan) all game so its important to finish our chances and hopefully put the game to bed early. I am worried looking at our recent low block performances though.

As bad as that LW looks, I think Gittens coming on ag.tired Porro around 60' is better than him from the start. Lavia vs Santos in the midfield 3 was hard too, but I opted for slightly more control + the ability to drop between CBs and beat the press consistently.

Very, very tough game - expecting something similar to Forest (H) last season.
Team picks itself besides the LCB - I've gone back and forth, between Hato, Tosin and Chalobah.
Hopefully I'm wrong about this game 🙏🙏

This game will probably feel like one of the Conference League games from last season so this should be enough.
Cucu and Moi still needed imo, Guiu starting finally, Fofana finally back and Hato homecoming around 60th minute if everything is going how its supposed to

Have a feeling they play a back 5 so JP behind a real 9 will be nice + bunch of runners for the high line makes sense too (Gusto, Nacho, Guiu).
I'm confident so predicting 4-1 with Pedro finally scoring again 🤞🤞

Would like to see Mheuka or Whisper start since Guiu is cup tied.
Academy guys I would like to see play: Murray-Campbell, Antwi, Walsh, Kavuma-McQueen, Mheuka, Richards.

Tosin for Sesko + build-up. I know JP is dying for rest, but the game is perfect for him (their CBs don't step-out). Wes -> Benoit sub around 60 minutes is ideal.
Need this win badly🙏🙏

My idea is to bring James, Badiashile and Lavia for 2nd half around 50-60 minutes for more control and better distribution.
