    A few people I know who are neutral have us getting beat by a couple of goals today. One reckons 1-3.

    We haven’t looked like shipping 3 but it could happen. If we’re going to lose I’d say 1-0 is the favourite.
     
    In the training video uploaded by the club, Antony, Casemiro, Ronaldo, Maguire, Lindelof + a bunch of youngsters were in the same training group. So I wouldn't be surprised if neither Antony nor Casemiro started the game today.

    That's a good observation. Same team as vs Leicester it is, then

    They must mix it up in training, surely. Having the subs train separately from the starting XI is a sure way to lower their morale.

    We'd really need legs today. Eriksen simply can't play two matches in three days.

    It's not because he's crybaby but because he's been shit in the big matches. Give me a big match he was not. It was like playing with 10 men. I'd rather have Elanga. He's crap too but at least he can and will run and press.

    He scored against Arsenal the last time we played them (just 5 months ago) and scored two in the prior match against Arsenal as well.

    I suppose we don't need goals though.
     
    Unpopular opinion but I think we are going to obliterate Arsenal today.
     
    How many people have called this Erik’s first real test?

    I'm sure Eriksen can play twice in three days, but he has looked tired after 70 or so minutes when he's played for us thus far I think.

    It applies to every player that isn't a defender. The only remarkable thing about Eriksen is that he is the most hardworking player, so he should be visibly tired faster but even then it's not the case. I can agree on the idea that he needs to be replaced after 65-70 minutes until we start getting a lot more of the ball but that's due to the amount of efforts that he gives not due to a lack of stamina. When it comes to stamina I more worried about the players not named Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen because they lose steam around the same time while being less active.

    Really difficult one, Arsenal are flying after 5 wins out of 5 games and will be full of confidence. Think ten Hag will go with more or less the same lineup as in last couple of matches, then rest many of them in Europa League on Thursday.
     
    Think it'll be unchanged. But I'm not sure that's the right call with only a few days rest. Let's see.

    That's likely, I don't know if this group was separated to bring everyone up to speed in terms of fitness / match sharpness.
     
    I hope the Red SuperTeam from North London don’t beat us too badly.
    They’re clearly the best team on the planet right now, at most we can hope for a humble 2-0 defeat
     
    I'm in two minds.

    Rashford
    Sancho Eriksen Bruno
    McTominay Casermiro

    or

    Rashford
    Sancho Bruno Elanga
    McTominay Casemiro

    ​
     
    I really think today is the day where we need to start making a decision between Bruno and Eriksen, not necessarily starting them together.

    My preference today would be to go with Eriksen who has a more considered approach, which also leaves you with Bruno as the perfect impact player off the bench when Eriksen inevitably begins to fade.

    I also think we need to see the end of the Rashford up front, Elanga on the wing combination. We've got by for a few games, but the constant turnovers that those two cause isn't something that we'll be let off with against Arsenal, who've looked a very dangerous unit this season.
