With Welbeck & Alzate going off injured, and Bissouma currently out, what team / formation do you expect versus Arsenal at the weekend?

Maybe?

Sanchez
Lamptey Dunk Duffy Cucurella
Mac Allister Lallana Bissouma Moder
Trossard Maupay

I'm assuming Biss will be back.

Something like that if Bissouma can’t play, can’t see Lamptey starting for a while yet.

I agree that Moder should be in if Bissouma isn’t fit as he’s a bit more mobile than our other available midfielders.

I'm sure we'll see Solly feature. But I'd certainly like to see MacAllister play, he could be our breakout star this year

I'd give big Shane a rest for this one - not his forté against a pacy, incisive attack.

If fit, Biss instead of Moder.
Lamptey to share the minutes with Solly whether a starter or sub, if fit enough.

Lamptey could have a part to play - maybe replacing Veltman on the hour. BDB is still coming back from injury, so if he starts to tire, either go to a flat back four and bring on Alzate or Richards further up the field - or the wild-card option, give Roberts 20 minutes.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing Bissouma for a while

GP will be vaguely optimistic in interviews to keep Arsenal guessing, just like he was about last night in his pre match press conference

I too am dropping Duffy. (With a very heavy heart). This is not his match
I'm also resting Trossard
I'm assuming no Mwepu, MacAllister, Lamptey or Bissouma
Connolly in to provide pace in behind

-------------Sanchez
-------Veltman Dunk Burn
March Lallana Moder Cuccerella
----Welbeck Maupay Connolly

We have to be more combative in midfield than the 1st half last night, Moder starting is a must assuming Biss isn't fit, I would play Moder, Lallana and Mac Allister (if fit) - I thought I saw Ali Mac sitting on the subs bench last night which leads me to believe he must be pretty close to fitness, but could be wrong.

Rest of the team picks itself really, would stick with Duffy as although people are concerned about Arsenal's pacy forwards, he could cause them big problems from corners.

"Bissouma is making decent progress, this game [Crystal Palace] came a little bit soon for him," he said.

"We are hopeful he can be available against Arsenal but we will have to see at the back end of the week.

"Steven [Alzate] looked like he had quite a bad one [injury]. He rolled his ankle but somebody also landed on it.

"We will see how it goes over the next 24-48 hours but not a fantastic first diagnosis.

"Danny [Welbeck] felt his hamstring a little bit and again we will see over the next 48 hours how that is."

Hmm, we're starting to look a little depleted. Hope we get one or two back. Can see MacAllister and or Mwepu starting if they're ready to go

I don't think Biss will make it, just a hunch. With Arsenals pace we either drop Duffy or he is the middle man of the 3, which is what I think he'll do. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lamptey start for some reason.

Lamptey - Veltman - Duffy - Dunk - Cucurella

We simply cannot play Gross and Lalanna V Smith-Rowe and Saka. Need some mobility in there. Please Biss. Please.

He will eat Ben WHite alive at corners.

Oops - forgot about Alzate's injury, so scrub that; just Richards to bring on further up the field if we switch to a flat back four then, or Roberts coming on for Burn LCB if we stay with a back three.
