    I think with Saliba playing on Sat and Gabriel rested, Gabriel plays today. I expect that he, Tomi & Kiwior will be 3/4 of the backline today (plus possibly Ben White?)

    Then Elneny, Jorginho, ESR, Fabio, Tross, Havertz are all in with good shouts for the other 6 positions although it’s super unlikely that Arteta will do a complete rotation. I’d expect 2-3 on the bench still. He might play 3 of these guys, 2 starters and one youngster like Sagoe Jr.

      It’s crazy that you can make 4 different back lines with those 4 players, without them playing in a position that they aren’t comfotable in.

      Tomi - White - Gabriel - Kiwior
      White - Tomi - Gabriel - Kiwior
      White - Kiwior - Gabriel - Tomi
      White - Tomi - Gabriel - Kiwior

      Gabriel probably can play at RCB or LB as well, but he hasn’t really done so IIRC

      I’d really like to see Walters play. It’s hard to work in a young defender, but with the likes of Tomi, Gabi, Kiwi, and White, there is a good foundation.

      We have academy players knocking on the door and we haven’t brought through an academy defender in a long time. If the club doesn’t play them in the League Cup, I’m not sure when they get their chance.
