Arsenal may have had a wonderful win over Chelsea at the weekend, but with matches full of strength and speed, there is no time to rest.
The Brighton game is still full of pressure, if not more, when you think that if Arsenal had actually lost to Chelsea, we would only be one point ahead of the Seagulls today!
Now I have no doubt that Mikel Arteta would be rotating the squad to try and maintain energy levels in a squad that plays every three days at the moment, but three players that I am sure would have played today are not available. due to Covid-19 protocols.
We already know that we won’t have our expensive signing Thomas Partey due to injury, and he’s only managed two full games since the deadline hit. We would surely be higher in the table if he had been in shape all season.
And our other great signing, Gabriel Magalhaes, is also unavailable after testing positive for Covid-19 and will miss at least our next two games.
In addition, two other Brazilians, David Luiz and Willian, are also isolated and cannot rejoin the group’s training until the 31st.
But even though these four can’t play, I still think Arteta will be rotating for quite a while, and Aubameyang, Nketiah, Ceballos and Mustafi, who were unused substitutes on Saturday, will probably be in the starting lineup today.
