Got to play your strongest side in the league, no matter who the opposition is.
Plenty of talented squad players who will get a run out against Arsenal.
We are still to see Dielna and Melo who are back in full training and maybe even Lachman.
Sasso and Loovens in at CB. Wiggins/Helan and Pamer at FB. Take your pick for the midfield and Joao/Matias/Lavery up top.

It's hardly a weaker side. the majority of the players on the fringes of our squad could play when called upon and do a capable job in the championship.
i'm talking a few changes (which will happen anyway, we have 4 games in 10days) eg. wiggins in at lb, palmer at rb, loovens at cb, semedo cm, sougo on wing etc
these changes don't make us much weaker

Some very good points, Oval, MS & Consilio.
I was about to say, like Thurny has above. We probably shouldn't be calling it our 'B' team. They're first team players used in rotation, not necessarily backup to their respective positions. Supposedly CC is going to utilise each players 'unique' attributes in accordance with the opposition. I suppose we'll see.
One thing is true, it's great to have a bench full of game changers and not have to rely on our starting XI to do the job first time, every time. We've spent years watching/listening to games saying to ourselves " Well who could we bring on now to change this for us?"
The answer usually being along the lines of "Jermaine Johnson"
Don't fret, we're all getting on board, just at the caboose

It is pretty clear that CC's first choice eleven is the one that started against Preston.
Palmer is an option for Hunt, Matias for Wallace and Joao for Nuhiu. The other eight are pretty secure now.
There will be chances though with a cup game giving the fringe players a game, maybe resting the odd player during heavy schedules and substitute appearances.
