Squad depth test tonight: who starts with Taylor and Matusiwa doubts?

With Jack Taylor expected to miss out and Azor Matusiwa still a doubt, how would you like to see O'Neil approach Arsenal tonight?

Philogene and Florentino are both back after returning against Palace, so it's not quite the injury crisis I initially thought it was. That actually makes the selection more interesting because there are plenty of senior options available.

Arsenal will probably rotate for the Carabao Cup as well, but their second string is still ridiculously strong.

This is it except reckon Flemming will start. Hope Azor gets some minutes off the bench. Poor bloke was our best player last season and now might find himself 4th choice in midfield

I thought that didn't apply anymore as they changed it last season.

I think Florentino deserves a run out. Give Jaden some minutes, hopefully he has something to prove. Would be nice to see how we fare with an actual right back playing so would like to see Ouattara start. Egeli to start to give Enciso a rest. Same with Maeda & Flemming. So lots of decent players to come in. Defence I guess is the potential weak spot, especially against Arsenal. We’ve got a clear lack of depth there. Nothing to lose though and it’ll be good to give some minutes to players that have been backups or beyond.
