No White.

Leno cedric tierney mari holding sambi xhaka smith rowe saka pepe martinelli

We are screwed

Holding is the Chelsea destroyer.

I think we’ve all accepted that we’re starting this season with a 3-game handicap - we’ll get going after the international break.

White’s out - “illness” again ffs.

Any point is a bonus

At least Saka’s starting - just missing the entire spine of the team now.

I think I’ll be use my patent pending “look up the result afterwards, tut and get on with the rest of my day” method of following Arsenal a lot this season
