that will never be the line-up - for a start, we all know Willock always comes on with 15-20 mins to go, runs around and achieves nothing
Eddie will play, I think
Also, 0-3
Is there any other club in the world who can have 9 CBs on their books and yet still be starting the season with a “CB crisis”?
Probably going to be 343 again until we sign some CMs - think we might go...

Cant call the keeper - toss a coin on that one.
Saliba’s the only surprise in there -probably earlier than we would have liked to chuck him in at CB, but everyone else is injured, and he’s ahead of Gabriel in his prep, so I think he might get a start.
CM picks itself atm.
Can see Lacazette getting the nod up front as I’m guessing he had a nice rest during the internationals again. Not 100% sure we’ll start Pepe - could easily see that being Willian - but I’m erring on the side of familiarity and continuity on that one.
Emi isn't in the squad. Likely to be sold.
Fuck him tbf.
On we go.
