Luiz as a regista would be an interesting project, especially if we end up with no replacement for Fabregas.
Hudson-Odoi is on for Pedro as we approach the last 10 minutes of normal time.

Has there ever been a Sarri substitution that hasn’t been entirely predictable?
If you think back to the time when Didier Drogba terrorised #afc in these games, the sight of the Blues now relying on Olivier Giroud to give them a physical presence and save a match feels like it's from some sort of parallel universe.
Firmly in a three-horse race for Top 4 now. Four-horse race if Spurs drop off following Son's absence & Kane's injury. Do we make it?
Great play by Hazard, who fizzes a low ball across the face of the goal but we can't get on the end of it to steer it in.

#CFC Now CHO on for Pedro please BUT, he need to take people in and drive
Bellerin is being stretchered off, looked like he may have twisted his knee. Best of luck to him. Elneny comes on in his place.
#CFC Bellerin injured badly and going off. Now time to attack that side with Hazard and exploit it to take advantage
'It was offside'...’should have been 3-0'. Err no. You yourself just said it was offside. Biased commentary all evening...
The only way Sarri can make this defeat less painful is by making necessary changes for Spurs in midweek. CHO, Giroud, Emerson in; Alonso, Willian, Pedro dropped please.
A second change for the Blues. Willian is replaced by Giroud.
2-0 [67'] #ARSCHE
Boos for Emery as Lacazette is taken off for Iwobi. Ramsey off for Maitland-Niles as well while Giroud on for Willian. Giroud gets a decent reception.
Think Sarri has lost a lot of his supporters today. Poor team selection, tactically stubborn yet again and zero flexibility when things started going downhill. Also, it's 65 mins, we're 2-0 down and our only striker is still on the bench.
Thank God
Giroud is going to come on... #cfc
#CFC Where is Giroud. That's nearly 20 minutes into the second half with Eden Hazard still struggling to influence the game!
? Maurizio Sarri makes his first change. Barkley is on for Kovacic, with 62 minutes on the clock.
