Big call to drop Xhaka but I can’t drop White or Zinchenko either. This should give us more stability at the back while freeing up Zinchenko to move freely in the final third and help out Martinelli.
A mid-block, less width in attack. Knock a few over their back line, they wouldn’t have prepared for a back 3.
Partey and Eddie get a breather ahead of shit getting real.
Same team, tomi could come in for white but even that I doubt for this game. Maybe rest Gabi for City and start Trossard.
We started well and the only team to really destroy them at their place so hopefully we can do the same at home.
Brentford aren’t going to give us the same issues that Everton did to our attack, we’ll create chances but we’ll need to be better at the back than in recent weeks.
I don’t mind Rio that much. He was teasing Joel Beya who’s an Arsenal fan.
I actually think Rio is one of the people who would be genuinely happy for us to win the league if not for Utd.
