We begin a run of four crucial Premier League games in twelve days with Arsenal at the Bridge. They’re involved in a right ol’ mess for fourth place, but we can stay well clear of that by keeping our good form and winning run and going.

With a short turnaround time from Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal, Thomas Tuchel has shuffled his pack a fair bit, with an entirely revamped backline and Lukaku getting a start up top!

UPDATE: Rüdiger’s injured.

Here we go!
