So, how much do we care about the result today, especially after Leicester and Spurs lost?

Surprised to see Werner starting after he started the last 4 games. I assume he and perhaps Kante will be rested against Arsenal?

Kante and Werner both have monumental endurance so I guess they dont need the rest that much. have been happy to play thorugh a lot of games this season.

Yeah but they're not machines either. Even Mount has finally been rested.

And Tuchel yesterday was talking about managing the players' workload because some may be in the red zone etc.

Marijuana, oil wells and Saddam Hussein on this thread?

Both coaches playing cagey with the lineups, prioritizing their next encounter. Interesting.

Kante’s and Pulisic’s hamstrings my primary concern over the result.

Yeah I made the post the other day that we needed to rotate in either this one or the Arsenal one.

Good decision now City are doing the same.

Surprised City have rotated so much, TBH. They had one more day rest and did not have to travel. Can easily rotate in the remaining league games if they win the league today.

A loss or draw here wouldn’t be catastrophic due to results elsewhere, but my word a win would be gigantic. Because I can definitely see Everton giving WH a huge headache.

Absolutely delighted that Tino Livramento is on the bench. Great young player. The opportunity may not come for him to get on today but I hope it does before the end of the season.

Pulisic should be OK since he only played like 30 mins in the last 2 games.
