Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta should not hesitate to make plenty of changes to his starting XI for Saturday's Premier League London derby at home to Brentford.
The visit of the Bees is sandwiched in between two Champions League quarter-final ties with holders Real Madrid, who were incredibly humbled 3-0 at the Emirates in Tuesday's first leg.
Ahead of a daunting trip to the Bernabeu on April 16, Arteta will be expected to hand a few fringe players a chance to impress on Saturday, just as he did in the 1-1 draw with Everton last week.
Tuesday's free-kick heroes Declan Rice - who scored both of them - and Bukayo Saka - who won both of them - will surely be spared, having both picked up small knocks in Tuesday's victory.
Rice's likely rest will open the door for Mikel Merino to move into a deeper midfield position, as Leandro Trossard can also do a job in the final third and could join Ethan Nwaneri and Raheem Sterling in an identical front three from Goodison Park.
Thomas Partey should also be wrapped in bubble wrap for the Bernabeu trip, so Jorginho could operate at the base of the midfield, but Martin Odegaard may continue as the most advanced midfielder.
Arteta has no wriggle room in the heart of defence, where William Saliba and Jakub Kiwior will pair up once again, but Ben White for Jurrien Timber is a like-for-like change that should be considered.
It would not be surprising to see Myles Lewis-Skelly spared either, and as Kieran Tierney has come off the bench in three of Arsenal's last four Premier League matches while Oleksandr Zinchenko has been an unused substitute in all of them, the Scot has a strong chance of making his first league start of the term.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Odegaard, Jorginho, Merino; Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling
