Leaning into Rice and Zubimendi for Brighton trip

Morning.

It’s another tough one this evening as we visit Brighton, and the team news from Mikel Arteta was positive regarding Declan Rice. He said the midfielder was feeling ‘much better’ after coming off against Chelsea, and I fully expect him and Martin Zubimendi to start tonight.

I know there’s been a lot talk about them in recent weeks, they’ve both played a lot and both look as if the minutes have been catching up with them, but for a tough away fixture, I find it hard to see the manager changing either of them.
