Confirmed that Havertz requires knee surgery but he’s expected to be back within a couple of months.

It is nice to now have the squad depth where stuff like this can happen and it not be a disaster.

Yes - but I hope we also manage Gyok's load. It's unfortunate that there is now pressure on him (would have been better to ease him in - and finesse our playing style to suit him), but he seesm fairly resiliant physically and mentally.

I think for Carabao cup, and lower table sides, Trossard or Martinelli could maybe start or at least come on after 60 mins - and there's Merimno too ofc though in those games I'd expect him to be playing instead of Zubi - though we also have Norgaard (once he's back which is imminent apparently) to do that

So Arteta is having his presser and apparently he's not going to commit to Odegaard playing on Sunday. Also Sky have pointed out that if we don't play him on Sunday (and obviously say he's still recovering) we can pull him out of the upcoming internationals.

IMO, I'd prefer he doesn't play and gets the rest.

Firstly, Saka isn't playing, and AFAIAC that is the only player Odegaard is able to "unlock" properly. Odegaard without Saka isn't anything special and we all know the game is going to be pretty physical, played at a bruising tempo.

When he was a doubt, I was pretty sure Arteta would start with Merino. I still think that's what he will do. I also believe Martinelli is definitely starting on the left, as he has stats backing up his performances against the Scousers.

Personally I'd prefer Eze starting, especially in the center but I can live with Merino starting as long as Eze is available on the bench, which he will be.


If Odegaard was 100%, then yes, start him... but anything less isn't worth it seeing as he hasn't been doing anything spectacular for quite a while.

Make all my decisions from the frontpage...if I don't see it there, its like it never occurred (I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before )
