The BBC however give us a spot of logic saying that “he went strong against Ipswich” in the weekend game and noting that the club doesn’t have a match at the weekend before facing PSG on Tuesday. As a result they reckon it will be a strong side once again.
Looking at the situation the BBC reckon this will be what they call “a comfortable win for them.” By which they mean 2-0 to the Arsenal. After that they drift off into a realm of speculation about who Arsenal are going to sign.
On the injury front the club reports that Saka was not seriously injured in the last game against Ipswich while the manager is said to be hopeful that both Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho will return for the last game/s of the season.
The manager has also made it clear that all the players want to play in every game and he has no intention of giving them a rest when they are all keen to play.
Indeed he made the important point that “They are at their best when they are playing and they have consistency in their performances, and physically and emotionally they are good. They have the rhythm and that is when they are at their best.”
