00:00Hello everyone, from a very windy academy of light, apologies to the background of Boris Moosley.

00:05He's been to Regis Labriece, ahead of someone's game against Sasson Villa, and stay in line for Sunday.

00:09Confirmed a really big double injury piece, he says he expects Emerson La Faye to be available to start.

00:15He's also been released after the Mississippi Coastal Palace game.

00:17Of course, the second half of my heart's back in contention.

00:19Forty liquid-eyed, moved by Cameron this weekend.

00:22He needs another week or two to recover from his shoulder surgery before he's in contention.

00:27So, should be a really strong squad this weekend.

00:29I think it's unlikely that Dan Ballard comes straight back into the team.

00:32I think Labriece has been really impressed with Nody Mukele.

00:34I think he wants to keep that back four together for the time being.

00:37But clearly having Ballard as an option off the bench, to give him that bit of defensive strength that he needs,

00:41is a really, really valuable one.

00:43Enzo, I think, has got a really strong chance of going back into the side,

00:46having performed so well against Brentford.

00:48Obviously then, will leave Labriece with a bit of an option as to whether he moves the Dinger across to the right,

00:52or whether he chooses to use a vision impact.

00:55So, pretty positive.

00:56On the main, I think the rest of me are really, because we must underestimate Arsenal really,

01:00despite their performance so far this season,

01:02and against plenty of options.

01:04The squad's not been about as strong as it has for a while,

01:06but it's definitely exciting to me.

01:08I think it's really interesting to me.

01:10Yes.

01:11Have a great day.

01:14Bye.

01:15Bye.

01:17Bye.
