Saka -115 / Jesus -110 / Ethan Nwaneri +200 TSA
@KingKeno Braace
GG goalkeeper injury
Arsenal 6-0
Nwaneri to score, top talent
EZ Arsenal Win
Genius predictions.. Saka who has fitness issues should start, whereas Martinelli who needs game time to get himself to form will be on the bench?
@GoonerRSA yes
Why would they risk Saka in this game?
@Dobbo25 Arteta wants a trophy this season even if it's A mickey mouse one
over 1.5 first half goals
Arteta has to play the kids here. Rojas or Porter in goal, Nwaneri and MLS start. Would be cool to see Dowman on the bench.
@Overmars I would also have Kabia or Butler-oydeji starting. Even Khayon Edwards should get a look in before Saka and Martinelli. We need to rest and rotate more of our first eleven. But then Arteta doesn't like to rest and rotate players too much.
