        10 PL games without away goals last season + 2 this season, since vs Swansea 13 Dec 2017.

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

          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

        Okay had to WC after a stupid knee jerk. Opinions appreciated:

        Foster / Patricio
        Mendy / Alonso / robbo / awb/ bennet
        Hazard / mane / richarlison / Fraser / hojberg
        Aguero / lukaku / ings

        Tempting to change mendy, how long is he out for? Also could go lukaku to lacazette to upgrade ings to Mitrovic?
