Jones might be still out, but I’d reward McConnell’s last two outings with a place on the bench here.

Joe Gomez, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota all back in training today. Slot unsure as to whether they will be ready for Bournemouth.
My guess is Nunez on the bench and the other two to ready for Spurs.

Hoping the boys are up for the challenge at the vitality stadium on a cold, windy and rainy Saturday early afternoon. 3-1

Of trouble on horizon … how could we know it was the Bournemouth runner ?

Nice to see the confidence in their ranks. I fully expect Bournemouth to have a good go, and credit to them for that. So many teams try to pack the defense and get something on the break, or with a set piece, when they play us. Bournemouth will play their usual game and try to beat us the right way, and after whacking Forest and Newcastle, and beating other top sides, they should back themselves.
I think this could be a weekend where we lay down a marker for the title run-in (still a long way to go, so I’m not sure if run-in is the right word).
If we play at or close to our level I think we will beat Bournemouth 3-1, something like that. Arsenal will then need to beat Man City just to keep the gap as is, albeit with another game of the season having elapsed, and our game in hand still to come.
If they fail to do that they could go into a little funk, as mentally they like to feel sorry for themselves.
Slot is calm, authoritative, an excellent coach and tactician, and if the players are rested and prepared to put down a marker, this could be a significant weekend.

I do like other fall songs but this is a football forum so it was the one I thought of immediately.
If we lose tomorrow maybe we can draw some comfort from this…
Apparently they will be missing the following players.
Luis Sinisterra 50/50
Araujo
Evanilson
Hill
Scott
Senesi
Smith
Unal.

Did this guy have an uncle called Frankie… Just wondering :0)
I think that is actually fewer than last weekend!
Still 9 out according to this with the late fitness test.
It’s not the best for return dates but those Bournemouth dates are quite far away and it’s updated our ones from today.
Are any of those players besides Evanilson actually making their first XI?
