      10 PL games without away goals last season + 2 this season, since vs Swansea 13 Dec 2017.
      note: he missed 5 away games in 17/18, though because of injury.

    Good morning.

    Advice on options please.

    1) Keep Arnie despite uncertainty
    2) Arnie -> Mitro
    3) Arnie -> Zaha

    1FT left so no hit required.

    Thanks - best of luck to all for this GW.

    2) -4 - Mendy > Walker (Bench Wan Bissaka) AND upgrade Jiminez to Giroud.

      It really comes down to two questions. First is Wan v. Walker-4. I wouldn't be confident taking that hit. As much chance that CPL have clean sheet home as City away. Cardiff defending deep, there can be a lot of chances for Walker to get to assists, but I just wouldn't bank on that. Supposing the same clean sheet probability, Walker has to get assist+1bap to eliminate that -4. Only after that anything is plus. It's a bit of a risk.

      That solved, the question is: Giroud v. Lacazette-4. With this one I'm somewhat happier. 1 goal more for Lacazette eliminates the hit already. Arsenal has a home fixture, with slightly more rest (no traveling midweek, later fixture). Semi-long term better fixtures. Lacazette more nailed on.

      So, C seems like a completely reasonable hit for me but this is not a
