Ederson
Nunes, Stones, Akanji, Guardiol
Kovacic, Bernardo
Phil
Savinho, Haaland, Mamoush

I know it won't be that but I would like to see it. Sit back and hit them in transition with that pace up front.

Saka is their most important player.
Thomas Partey can play at right back instead of Ben White.
Jesus is not a starter. Havertz is their central forward.

They still have four players that would have a high chance of playing against us out injured.

Ben White IS their right back.

Jesus plays more than half the games when he’s fit.

Tomyarsewho is their Ben White deputy.

What you did is like saying “Rodri’s out but Kova can play DM, Bobb doesn’t start, Akanji can play instead of Dias” and so on and so forth.

If you’re listing injuries, just list who’s injured.

Timber is their starting right back I thought? He'd already replaced White before White's injury.
 
This would be my preferred lineup.
I'm certain that it won't happen, but assuming full fitness, this would be my choice to start the game.

That team would concede double figures!

You’re either defending with no DM, or with only 3 defenders, depending on what role Stones is doing in that team.

Stones is centre-back shifting in to DM when we have the ball. Akanji RB.

Yeah, that’s what I mean - who is the actual DM? Because when we are out of position, Stones is a CB. Realistically, it needs Kovacic in (our best option currently) instead of McAtee, Foden or Savinho, most likely McAtee.

That's an obvious option, but I would rather have a very solid defence, with Stones stepping up. I also note McAtee's work off the ball and his understanding with Phil to protect the right side.
 
Worth mentioning that Michael Oliver has been taken off the game, supposedly the red card error but it was VAR that chose not the overrule him. He has been getting death threats from the Arsenal fans all week.
