I have a theory that Emery's success in cup competitions is down to the fact that his teams play quite conservatively and are therefore relatively fresh at the sharp end of the season.

I'm surprised he has played Torres for the 70 mins. Thought he might have eased him back and subbed him on 60. Although rare central defenders get changed during a match.
Welbeck getting ready to come on

Probably keeping Mings for the more physical Wood/Forest challenge on Saturday.

Interesting to see which one starts in CL too

Uh-oh.

Do we need to bring on Ty and Disasi and go 6-3-1 like in Unai's first game at Brighton?

Ah, Boxing Day 2018 with Arsenal.

It does feel like last season we went off like a train, and then fizzled out at the end. This year felt like we played within ourselves early on, perhaps with a view to finishing strongly.

Not sure if that means a Brigton save or he has hit it so high and wide it landed in Belgium/

I say FV don't get in such a fluster.
