Who’s prioritising? We’ve just beaten Chelsea and Leicester and kept two clean sheets, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it (too much!). Beat Arsenal, then go and beat Utd - no prioritisation!

Out strongest team still includes James so it feels like we shouldn't be leaving him out when fit. It seems like some people want to wait to bring him back Wednesday.

No doubt in my mind the strongest team includes James, but I’d still have him on the bench to start Saturday in case he’s needed and he’s fit(?). There’s a lot of games coming up in short time, there’s a few who will be fit enough to play in all of them - I suspect James isn’t one of them! The way they have played in the last two they are more than capable of beating Arsenal - no prioritising at all!

I don't totally agree. Arsenal stay compact and we may need to break them down from open play. We didn't do that the last two despite winning.

I think we can keep them out, but without James I think 0-0 is very in play.
 
Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Doucoure Iceland
Iwobi James Richy
DCL

That would be mine, but Gomez starts for James i think with fitness concerns. We are going to see Davies and Gordon get starts soon with the busy period coming up, i wouldn't be surprised if either starts Saturday if Carlo really wants to go for the cup.

We're 5 points off the top and people want to prioritize the League Cup

I think most of us would, I know the cups have lost a bit of value but this club needs one, The chances of us keeping up consistently with the top 4-5 is very unlikely with our injury luck at the minute.
