This doesn’t give a complete picture of load/intensity, but before Arsenal vs Palace in the Carabao Sky put up a graphic of the top 10 PL players for mins played in all comps.
There wasn’t an Arsenal player on the list. It’s not just your players playing while everyone rests.
Given the acidic reaction to Arsenal defending a 2-1 lead with 10 men in the away fixture last season I think we have to see the same levelled at Guardiola here but I won’t hold my fucking breath, put it that way.
