If Sanchez starts upfront, we have a chance.
If Wenger again refuses to admit his big mistakes and continues with Giroud upfront, we get soundly beaten.
Simple as that in my eyes. Over to you Wengz.

Popular theory, but it is never one player for me. If the defence played like grown ups we would probably have won the last game easy enough.

I thought it was just that too but then you look at matches like away to Leicester, Burnley and home to Middlesborough. These are matches we dominated and created chances and yet he was ineffective. Even away to Everton, there were several instances where he would go wide to try and create chances even though we were being dominant.
And then of course you have the City and United matches where they simply did not give our midfield any chance so Alexis was pretty much isolated. So yes, it might be a bit of both which is why Alexis upfront should not be the answer.

I'm not one to say if we had Cazorla we would be alot better off or its the reason we wont win the title etc. The fact Sanchez upfront changes our whole system and breathes life into alot of players behind him is the main catalyst for him being there. It transforms us.

Front three of Lucas-Sanchez and Welbeck for me please. Those 3 can dovetail and drag the Chelsea defence all over the place. Giroud plan B.
Player:Saliba
There you have it. Sanchez up top
Is Perez injured?

Great lineup, but would rather have Perez than Iwobi. Welbeck winner in 90 minute.

Can already sense Chambo's injury in the first half. fuuuuk
Player:Saliba
Yeah so Maitland Niles gets a run out if Ox gets injured or does Iwobi move back to CM?

Not best pleased. Would have loved to see Welbeck start over Theo. Theo is too predictable. He doesn't do much apart from making runs in behind. Can't defend set pieces.
The lack of height in that team is quite worrying as well. They have 5 outfield players who are above 6 feet in height and we only have 1.

Good even if we lose today at least we got our fast fluid front 3 back.

Yay, Alexis back up front. We all could see it was a mistake to change that formation, but...

Theo usually does well against an attacking Chelsea side.

Wally does score against this lot.
