Gusto playing left back vs Burnley seems to me to be an indicator of him being tested out there ahead of this game.

Am also expecting us to set up like we did in the caraboo cut second leg

We effectively played 5 at the back in that game. So,if we repeat it would be something like this (given availability)

Sanchez

James

Tosin

Chalobah

Hato

Gusto

Caicedo

Santos

Enzo

Palmer

JP

I am assuming Palmer would start ahead of Delap in this setup as he is supposedly match fit now.

Aye you are probably right.

I'd venture we would be more defensive by dropping Enzo, move James in to the midfield 3, Neto to left wing back and gusto to right wing back.

Caicedo left of the 3 to help Neto out, James right of the 3 to help gusto. Santos siting in front of the back 3 to play quick forward balls for Palmer and Joao Pedro to try and counter attack.

    Think he will go for an arsenal double eh?

    Our red card 11 is still missing spots:

    Sanchez

    Gusto

    Fofana

    Chalobah

    Cucurella

    Caicedo

    Joao Pedro

    We do still need two wingers, a 10 and a 6 to be sent off to complete the team.

    So with that in mind Andrey Santos come on down!

    You're missing Delap (League Cup) and Jackson (CWC).

    If I had money I'd bet on Kai Havertz to channel Prime Drogba, return from Injury and score against Ars.... hang on... Our Champions League winner plays for the top of the table side and we're miles off a title run. He''l probably find the net against us assisted by Madueke... Which is fine because he's a massive bell.

    I hope we try a different tactic/strategy this time around. Not that this wasn't effective, but lets have more creative ideas.

    Oh right, I had forgotten Delap. Easily done really...

    Won't count Jackson though, CWC was more wnd of last season than this season mo.

    Still need a 6 and 2 wingers. Move Joao Pedro to the 10.
