Arsenal V Leicester City, KO Aug 13, 1500 BST

Probably the same starting XI as against Palace - maybe an outside chance of Tierney causing a reshuffle in that left pod, but I reckon he’ll start on the bench.

Rail strikes might also work in our favour if a lot of Leicester fans were travelling by train.

Wildcard is gonna be the extreme heat - hopefully all our conditioning work in the US will count for something here, but it could make things less routine than it should be.

Comfortable 2-0 again.

Imagine Tierney started and Zinchenko went into CM in place of Xhaka?

Pure spunk everywhere.

So your presupposition is that because Zinchenko was appalling at left back, he’d make a better central midfielder (despite never having occupied that position in the premier league)

Seriously, it’s got to be an option some weeks, maybe even most weeks with 5 subs.

Speaking of which, I’ve seen talk that we might get to see Vieira and Tomiyasu today? That’d be timely - I like the starting XI atm, but I really felt we lacked the ability to do much from the bench last week.
