    Arsenal v Southampton, 20:00 BST (21/04, SS Main Event).

    If the title has gone...we'll probably win easily.

    At least it isn't as long to wait until the next game - I really hate one game a week.

    A kind fixture to have at this stage at least.

    Result obviously the most important but we need a dominant performance too.

    We're playing for self-respect now, need a strong home performance so I can go to the pub (reasonably) happy afterwards

    Also I think it will be St Totteringham's Day

    Saliba is doing some light training but won’t make this match. Hearing he could be risked for City which would be a huge gamble but I also think playing Holding means an almost certain defeat, unless he has the game of his life.

    In short:

    Xhaka at RB with Trossard in his position? Arteta will probs stick with Tierney though.

    The only defender we had who could step in seamlessly was Tomiyasu due to his versatility. We just have to accept that rigid players like Tierney and Holding may cause the system to malfunction because you don’t get the same level of distribution into midfield. If Tomi was available he would be playing left back ahead of Tierney I’d imagine.

    It should be fine here against the worst team in the league but against the better sides it’s going to look very scruffy like it did last year.

    Agreed re the distribution - which is why I think Xhaka might fix that at LB...
