Haven't looked it up yet.
Does anyone know if it is 3 from 7, or 5 from 9 subs in Europa this year ?

Looks like 3 from 7 going off the games so far

Thanks, and just looked it up, yes it is 3 from 7 all the way through to the final (where 3 from 12)
In respect of eligible players in qualifying rounds, we can adjust at any time, so any new signings we can play in the qualifiers.

I am going out on a limb and say everyone is picking Doherty and Hojbjerg because they are new so probably feel they are obliged to. Especially with Hojbejerg, who I have also observed in the pre-season games, he does not seem an improvement on who we have so far. Onions

IMO, they both need match fitness and to gain some familiarity with their surroundings. Got a suspicion we might struggle in this one though, especially if we sit back and invite pressure.

Does this Bulgarian side represent any kind of threat to us If we go out with the right attitude?

Not really, if we put out decent side and with right attitude, despite the likely dubious playing surface we should be looking at maybe a 2 or 3 goal win. However even going out with right attitude doesn't guarantee anything (give away a penalty and sending off for example).

However odds do have them as having a roughly 20% chance of knocking us out though, which is a bit skinny odds, reckon more like 10% is reality so is not a formality, but would expect us to go through 9 times out of 10

Don't think Jose trusts Sess at LB so it could be Davies again.
I think it will be PEH and Sissoko CM
Lamela GLC Bergwijn
Kane

They won the Bulgarian cup and have a very hand striker and experienced team, if we play with the right attitude and to our ability we should be ok but we are struggling to score at the moment and so in a one leg match i wouldn't rule anything out, will be a tricky game, fingers crossed.

These 3 qualifiers are a pain, cheers Arsenal... BUT if we can get through them all I think it will build huge momentum and resilliance within the squad as these away trips are never easy.

Fingers crossed for tonight, COYS.

Fuck it, that’s good enough for me - I’m putting money on it. One way or another, I win.

If Gio gets at least 30 minutes i'll be a lot more confident of us winning.

No idea who's available but i'd have gone with this:

Lloris
Dier -- Sanchez -- Tanganga
Doherty ----PEH------Winks-------- Sessegnon
Lamela ----------- Son
Kane
Hart, Aurier, Davies, GLC, Ndombele, Lucas, Bergwijn
