    Bigger call to start with Chambers ahead of Clyne if you ask me. Strong-ish bench with JWP, Clyne and Wanyama though (dearth of attacking options notwithstanding).

    Daily Mirror journalist John Cross
    Southampton v Arsenal (19:45 GMT)
    "Traffic so bad heading to St Mary's it's even held up the Arsenal team bus."

    Will there be a kick off delay?

    ...the average age of our team would be about 6 years old.

    I don't know. It's kind of a fool's game to rank people in terms of like, 1 to 50. Or at least you'd have to watch a lot more football and know a lot more than I do.

    I look at it more like tiers. There is Messi sort of in a class by himself and who is so uniquely good it's probably better to just not include him in the equation. But in general, for any given position I feel like there is some group of players numbering anywhere from 10-25 that you can debate the exact ordering of, but who would all definitely be a cut above the next tier. Those are the "best."

    Then there is a larger, second tier of players that is definitely very good, but also definitely worse than the first tier. That's where I would put Lallana. Solidly in that second tier, not even like borderline first tier (for now, anyway). Whether that makes him #21 or #45 I couldn't say, and various supporters could probably argue for days over it. But he's definitely not in the first tier.

    Hopefully not, would suit us better not to have a delay (and if they are rushed, so much the better).

    I'm feeling pretty nervous for Gallagher. Imagine how he's feeling!

    I think we always have a chance, but they have a very strong side. However, they look to me like a loss is round the corner. Just hope it's us.

    Too young to be nervous. He'll be dying to get out there....needs a nice spell to settle him down.
