It is unfortunate for Lacazette to sustain injury just when we expected our best front line to start gelling.
Anyway, that’s football. I feel Lacazette has a lingering problem on his knee.
To take three points on Sunday, I expect Emery to select a line up that can do the job with relative ease.
Bases on available players, the suggested line up below should be good enough to do the job:
Leno
Naitland-Niles .. Chambers .. Luiz… Sokratis… Kolasinac
Guendouzi … Willock
Ceballos
Pepe …. Aubameyang
As Bellerin and Tierney are not fit to start, the skill set of Nile and Kolasinac are suitable for wingback positions. Luiz is another player that is comfortable with playing slightly above two centre backs. Guendouzi and Willock are good enough to play in midfield, assuming Torreira is not fit.
Pepe and Auba can do the damage while Ceballos can play behind them.
Or what do you think?
