Moyes likely to go for preferred option against Arsenal

|

Sadly, exciting academy striker Callum Marshall is unlikely to get involved in tonight’s team for the match against Arsenal tonight.

Nor do we expect to see Mikey Antonio, Divin Mubama or Danny Ings in the starting line up.

Instead, it looks very much as though the manager will stick with his often mentioned  preferred option of Jarrod Bowen leading the line but whether he goes for Fornals or Benrahma alongside him remains to be seen

Lukasz Fabianski will return between the posts for the game against a former side and we don’t expect to see skipper Kurt Zouma who finds it very difficult to play two games a week.

Beyond that its difficult to see which way the boss will go in a game which most would expect us to lose and the visitors are indeed heavy favourites.

Arsenal have yet to lose a domestic game and we can expect to see Declan Rice in his new coloiurs for the first time.
