It would be more than a pity if Grealish spent all his time tracking back to defend. We need them on the back foot from minute one.

Surely akanji plays there.
He should have picked Laporte.

I would go with that plan too. Best form of defence is attack. Run at them and attack. They won’t be able to cope

Because of his speed, we may find Walker popping up on the left for a change. Shouldn't be a problem for him.

We have home advantage and a hoodoo recently over Arsenal having not lost to them for 7/8 years in the PL. We need to make this advantage count. And I think we will

It will be a tough fixture, make no mistake. Missing Ake is a blow but Laporte is more than capable. But Arsenal have injury concerns of their own. Let them worry about our attack with no Saliba and maybe Xhaka.

A close game 2-1 Haaland and Jackie

I’m worried Jesus will score, as is scripted.

Not putting it on until 8. It's as bad as Saturday with the Sheff U pre match love in. Put it on at quarter past and it was Vieira talking about Saka and Martinelli. Put it on again twenty minutes later and he was still going on about some Arsenal graphic they had on screen.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.
