Pete and Johnny are on the eve of the Champions League quarter-final first leg and the mood is different \u2014 focused, cautious, but genuinely excited. This is what it\u2019s all been building towards.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what\u2019s inside:<\/p>\n
🔥 <\/span>Hottest of Takes<\/strong> \u2014 Johnny has a big call on a player who\u2019s going back to a very familiar place tonight, and Pete makes the case for a teenager who might just be Arsenal\u2019s most in-form attacking player right now<\/span><\/p>\n ⚽ <\/span>The Starting XI Debate<\/strong> \u2014 Saka and Timber are out. So who plays? Pete and Johnny go position by position, and there\u2019s a genuine disagreement about one player\u2019s Southampton performance that gets interesting<\/span><\/p>\n 💪 <\/span>The Injury Update<\/strong> \u2014 some big names are back. Some aren\u2019t. Pete runs through the latest from the press conferences and what it means for tonight and for Bournemouth<\/span><\/p>\n 🧩 <\/span>Max Dowman vs Noni \u2014 Who Starts?<\/strong> \u2014 a proper analytical breakdown of what each player gives you, why one of them gels with Joelinton and one doesn\u2019t, and what the stats from the weekend actually show<\/span><\/p>\n 😰 <\/span>The Pressure On Arteta\u2019s Rotation Gamble<\/strong> \u2014 the cups are gone. If the players who were rested don\u2019t hit the ground running tonight, that decision looks very different. Pete and Johnny face it head on<\/span><\/p>\n 🔮 <\/span>Predictions<\/strong> \u2014 Johnny\u2019s going one way, Pete\u2019s going another. Neither prediction is what you\u2019d expect<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pete and Johnny are on the eve of the Champions League quarter-final first leg and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
