I'm wondering in which game Arteta can afford to rotate players at all this season remaining? By that I mean players playing 80+ minutes every three days. Considering the toughness of the games coming up, including Luton who are a tough cookie.
Goalie? Nope
Been White? No
Kiwior? Maybe, with Zinchenko
Gabriel/Saliba? Nope to both
Rice? Nope
Jorgino? Yes, Partey
Odegard? Nope
Havertz? Nope
Martinelli? Nope. Watch them hamstrings lad
Saka? Nope. See above.
That's pretty much 90 minutes every game, every three days. Might risk Trossard but there's no easy game for them to step in more than 10 minutes.
Liverpool have easy EL games and Sheffield Utd, etc, to rest the likes of VvD, Konate, Bradley (TAA), Gomez, Salah, Nunez (Jota), Diaz, etc. This is the big picture.
Goalie? Doesnt matter and Ramsdale is good enough.
Ben White? Tomiyasu and Cedric
Kiwior? Tomiyasu and Zinchenko
Gabriel/Saliba? Kiwior and Tomiyasu
Rice? Partey
Jorginho? Partey and Zinchenko
Odegaard? Vieira and Smith Rowe
Havertz? No other profile like him, closest is Eddie Nketiah
Martinelli? No other profile like him.
Saka? Reiss Nelson and Jesus.
Arsenal will revert back to killing games by half time again, particularly against Luton, Villa, Brighton in the coming weeks. That's been their strategy since the turn of the year. I do think that Arsenal need to choose between the CL and PL now, because the amount of minutes coming will be very difficult.
As for title favourites, I think Liverpool arent as clear as they may think. I think Fulham away, United away are big tests for Liverpool and I dont think they win those easily. Arsenal and City look better balanced defensively, and match Liverpool offsensively.
