    So, Zubimendi at right back. Is that just in case Mosquera comes off and Arsenal needs a plan B? With the two starting RBs unavailable we know who’s going to start against PSG but we don’t know what the backup plan would be. (Only that it wouldn’t be Rice again).

      I think we are trying to give both Big Gabi and Saliba a rest. So Mosquera at centreback is a more natural fit. I think we all thought Norgaard world be at right back, but between him and Zubi I could see it going either way.

      ETA: And as soon as I say that we bring Big Gabi on, haha.

        It just seemed a bit strange that it would be Zubimendi at RB.

        It seems interesting ahead of PSG though. There’s a decent chance he’ll start at #6, and if Arsenal needs to score, maybe this is testing out a plan to move him to RB so we can get more attackers on.
