    But its not actually far out I would have Romero over Gabriel and Jesus ahead of Nketia, other than that I can't really argue and some might say that Son V Martinelli is not a given.

    Anyone picking Zinchenko over Udogie grew up in a house directly under power lines

    Udogie has played 5 games in the premier league, Zinchenko has 4 winners medals, I hope that by the end of the season that we will be putting Udogie in but right now I personally cannot argue that case.

    Ramsdale's probably not even going to be playing.

    Udogie has been extremely impressive, but he's only played 5 games.
    Zinchenko's been a vital component of Arsenal last season and is crucial for us this season as well, so the sample size to judge him is a long stronger.
    Granted, he's been playing as an inverted fullback and isn't a traditional LB/LWB, but his qualities have still been hugely important for how we build up and how we recycle possession.

    From what I've seen so far, I actually think Udogie is a better left-back and has all the qualities to supersede Zinchenko - he's powerful, quick, athletic, clean tackler, technically secure and is good in both boxes. But he still needs to prove himself over a longer period of time.

    I'm sure this next time next year, it'll be a very different conversation.

    Udogie over the glorified cheerleader zinchenko

    Romero over Gabriel

    Bissouma and Rice are on the same level so I’d go with bissouma as a spurs fan.

    Son over both nketiah and Jesus then martinelli on the left.

    Wait, wait, wait...did Paul Merson call Bissouma "Bassong" live on air?

    So many possible scenarios there...

    Son and Nelson are also on the same level so either of those could challenge for reserve winger.

    Depends on the shape of the venn diagram comparing sex pests and anti-maskers

    If it's a circle, they may as well be wearing a No5 shirt

    I predict fans to start leaving early.

    Will miss the match as my son has a match at the same time.

    Ducking hate this fixture so I’m sure I won’t miss much but I’m hoping a miracle happens and I’m missing a game that will frustrate me terribly because we win.

    I’m buzzing for the game but also dreading it! It’s the hope that kills you. Just want us to put a performance in and show that we really have bridged the gap to the top teams. Just don’t want us to roll over and crumble like we have the last few seasons at their place. I would bite your hand off for a draw right now. So nervous!
