I’m assuming from some type of staph infection. Staph infections, sepsis, this stuff scares me lolMaybe they don’t wanna take risks with the cut getting reinfected?
Didn’t Cazorla get gangrene from a gash and almost end up needing to amputate his foot or sth?
Where has Jorginho been out run this season? Our system protects him.
Need Martinelli to start.
I’d be extremely surprised if he is even in the match-day squad.We don't though, he can have a massive impact off the bench
This has just triggered PTSD in me

I am still in shock he started at Etihad and Anfield in a title race. He can’t even play for Palace. But Arteta’s a genius they say
Man City hasn’t lost at home since 2022 Dec and the games they drawn they dominated every one of them. If we gonna get something we gonna need luck because most of the game we will be pushed backLast year at Etihad, City played Walker and Stones for the whole match. De Bruyne also played 80 minutes, I doubt he can play that much this time.
Arsenal had Holding instead of Saliba. Also now there is Havertz for those long balls unlike last season.
So we can see that the chances are much better on paper. But Arsenal also has better underlying numbers this season. So I expect a draw, but it's possible to get a win finally.
I'm not sure how sharp Martinelli can be with apparently not training much in recent times. There is Jesus & Trossard, so I would substitute Martinelli in against tired Akanji, after the other winger has run himself ragged.
As a dark arts suggestion: Akanji had some niggle too, so Jesus or Trossard should make him twist & turn a lot with dribbles so he hopefully gets injured. If that would happen, they would only have Lewis for RB, who has played 1300 minutes in total this season, and is not that good defensively.
