Surprised no changes in the front three

He's really starting to get a settled team here

Same as Spurs. I’d have played Dalot and maybe Bailly but no complaints.

First time unchanged since October

Our bench looks pretty amazing as well.

No surprise at the lack of chabges. Huge game this. Regardless of the Chelsea/Arsenal result we will gain points on at lest one if either wins and both if there is a draw. Assuming we win.

A comfortable lead after an hour would be nice. Give the likes of Pereira and Sanchez decent time on the pitch.

Pretty much as expected. Strong bench and Oles first choice CB partnership getting another chance to gel

What's the deal with Smalling these days?

Injured

I expected a few changes today but it's also good to see a settled team. It'd be good to get enough ahead to be able to bring on a few players as well who'll need games in the coming weeks as Ole will need to utilise the squad if we're to still keep battling and three fronts.

Probably Phil Jones.

I did wonder whether Smalling was the player who was the subject of the media stories in December.

Maybe start Lukaku, Mata, Bailly and Sanchez etc against Arsenal

What stories?

The one where a player was caught indulging himself too much at a PL club bash just before Xmas.

Never read about that

Ole, being Ole, knows the value of the bench and the lads will want to impress when they get on the pitch.

Bench looks strong again which is helpful.

Against Spurs I felt we were a little unable to change the game in the second half tactically due to not having the right players on the bench (and in that include players who don't yet look ready, eg Fred). Today looks stronger across the board - a good sign heading into squeaky bum time.

Brighton’s first choice keeper is off at the Asian cup starring for the amazing Australia side (who lost to Jordan 😕 ) the other day. The country, not the busty dumbass

Smalling isn’t technically an England player right now is he?
