                Martinez

             Kamara   Bogarde
Rogers          Buendia          McGinn
                   Watkins
I think this team, though Emery might pick Onana ahead of Bogarde.
They haven’t beaten us at home since the 2-1 in early December 2021 and we deserved a draw then, Chukeumeka missed a good chance from memory.
I think they are due a win at our place then and probably will beat us.
But f*ck all that.
2-1 us (Rogers, McGinn)

I’d prefer Bogarde to Onana but suspect Emery will go with Onana.

Not sure what Ollie has done to warrant a start over Malen? He was electric in our last home game.
