Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and

Stevie Nickle. When you take a look at the fixtures around Europe this weekend, there

is one tie that jumps off the page, and that is, of course, Arsenal. Again, Manchester City

being in there, but you just wonder then what are they going to do with Martin Elliott?

Trust I will go one side. Do you put Harvard's up there if he's not fit? Are you putting

Ketia away? So there are some options, but I would say Saka, I don't know, it's a 50-50

call, really. What do you do as a coach, Stevie, when you've got someone in Saka's position

who's played so many matches in a row for such a long time, came off against Bournemouth,
