bts+over, Greenwood+ Nwaneri to score
What I like about Arteta is that he never put the second string team entirely. I expect some big boys to start. 2-3 my score.
Nwaneri to score 100%
Arsenal Win EZ
It's crazy for Arteta to risk Saliba, and Rice. But he hates rotation so he might just do that. This should be a team totally made up of B team players and kids.
@Overmars If he sends the B Team, then Preston will dump them out of this competition. He must mix the youth and experience, not just kids only. It is important that he takes cup competitions seriously now considering that the league is becoming tougher and tougher
