Some Arsenal fans have been reacting to Mikel Arteta's latest line-up as the north Londoners take on Leeds United later on this evening.
The Gunners' clash with the Whites is the only Premier League fixture that has gone ahead today, with five fixtures being called off due to the rising number of positive Covid-19 cases among top-flight squads.
However, Arsenal and Leeds have both been able to field strong sides for this evening's clash - with the Gunners looking to make it three wins on the bounce tonight.
In order to do that, Arteta has named this side, with the Spaniard not making any changes yet again: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Martinelli, Odegaard, Saka, Lacazette.
Taking to Twitter after the confirmed team news, some Arsenal fans have been left confused with the decision to name Emile Smith Rowe on the bench yet again.
Smith Rowe was a late substitute in the Gunners' win over West Ham in the week, with the England international coming on and scoring the crucial second goal in the victory, but that has not been enough to earn him a place in Arteta's XI.
Even without Smith Rowe, Arsenal should still be confident going into the match - with the Gunners in some great form as of late, but there are concerns over how long the Premier League will be going on for because of the growing number of cases among players.
Arteta was asked in his pre-match press conference on Friday whether the Premier League would struggle to get games played after the mass postponements this weekend, and the Arsenal boss shared his theory on why we now need a "flexible calendar".
He said: "We're going to have to find a way and we knew that when we started this season, that this could be a possibility and I am sure that there was a plan A, B and C because this can happen.
"We have the African Cup of Nations in the middle of all this and we have the World Cup that is coming in and the dates of that.
"I think we need a flexible calendar now because this world is not the world that we used to live in a few years ago, and we all have to be prepared.
"We all prepare with different protocols every single day for training sessions, you have to cancel training sessions, you have six players out, you have 20 members of the staff out.
"So I’m sure that the league has a very flexible calendar and options to fit it in because this is what we’re living in."
