    They'll start solid. He isn't an overly bold coach.but if we give them space to work they will hit us.

    We need to dominate the ball. If we keep them under constant pressure they will make errors.

    It is our toughest game. Needs a big performance.

    Winning those duels in midfield that Arteta goes on so much about is going to be so important. Thankfully we have the best in the business at that.

    Would be tempted to play Zubimendi for the same reason. Lewis-Skelly gives us more penetration there but that's not likely to be what's required. MLS' skillset will come to the forefront against Burnley.

    That is probably the biggest call. As long as he keeps using Rice the way he is at the moment, I am fine with it.

    I'd say Trossard stays in if fit. He is playing well

    He didn?t put a foot wrong yesterday. The only thing missing from his game is his reliable ability to score.

    Good player but no more than that, and never worth 100mil.

    And on another note, Declan Rice really is the best player in the Premier League if not Europe
    I?d rather take a punt on Mitoma. Great little player to interchange with Martinelli. Wouldn?t cost a fortune either

    I don't really watch opponents, but he's one I've noticed. Like Easy was before he signed.

    So long as it was in addition to a superstar / young player. Mitoma is 30... hardly going to make a big and/or long term difference to us.

    He's a bit lightweight. Not sure I'd want him.

    With all due respect to him, I think we need to aim higher. Imagine Gyok/Havertz between Saka and an equivalent. We need one very good left sided attacking player.

    And a defender, with MLS a midfielder now.

    With Rice playing DM Zubi is 2nd choice or he plays as a sort of 8. With Merino, MLS, Eze and Ode midfield is set unless Arteta decides to sell Ode or Eze, which would surprise me.

    Fair enough. Let's whip PSG in the final and nick the Georgian lad
