I wonder how fit Stones is currently as he has started very few games recently but been on the bench for most of them? I think Pep may save him for Spurs so go with

Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Rodri, Bernardo, KDB, Foden, Haaland

these are the in form players at the moment and despite no wingers, we are creating and scoring again

They didn't in the FA Cup game, though. They played quite defensively and relied on counters. Fortunately, Son wasn't available then.

They'll try to be smart and play on the counter, IF they still have a chance to make the top 4, that is.

We have to have a plan for Son. Usually we just hope he wont be on it. He always is against us. Definitely need a sort of zonal man to man plan. Walker last third. Bernie middle third. Cant have him destroy us again

Only way rags win on Sunday is if Arsenal have a dodgy lasagne for lunch

It's football, we all gave the rags bugger all chance against the dips....and what happened? The dips didn't manage to beat them in 3 attempts.

I do think Arse will hand them their personal arse on Sunday but, I've not wrote the rags off fully.

Another must win, but at least it's a chance to go top and put pressure on Arsenal.

It would be good if Newcastle lost against Brighton, Spurs beat Burnley and Villa beat Liverpool but I might be asking for a lot.

That would mean 4th place for Spurs is dead but 5th is pretty much confirmed, with a trip to Sheffield United after us.

Fulham to deal with first mind. Their last home game so it will be a tricky one.

I see Taylor is the referee.

Cue mass hysteria on here.

And Coote on Var.
Taylor is the one ref i fear most given his history with us.

Referee: Anthony Taylor. Assistants: Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn. Fourth official: Keith Stroud. VAR: David Coote. Assistant VAR: Dan Robathan

Same team please Pep as last Saturday (all being fit of course), no pissing around with changes, no need if all fit

Thankfully he's having a pretty below average season, until they play us I suppose

Thankfully he's having a pretty below average season, until they play us I suppose

Still got 17 league goals and 9 assists so far. Puts him in the top 6 or 7 of both the scoring and assists table. He missed some of the season because of the Asian Cup too.

In fact, he needs one more goal for it to be his second highest league tally in his career, only second behind the season he won the golden boot.

Not sure he's been below average.
