Looking forward to Vieira playing the whole match

I really hope to see Vieira from the start.

ESR and Tomi should also start too. Yeah, Nketiah too.
I think our whole front three could use some rest and I think we have more than enough quality to get the 3 points without them. I’d start Marquinhos too.

I’d go with

Turner
Tomiyasu - Holding - Gabriel - Tierney
Lokonga - ESR - Zinchenko
Marquinhos - Nketiah - Martinelli

Flying out for this, so want a convincing win!

Interested to see how we line up for this, which players are rotated and which aren’t. Think we need to rest Jesus and Martinelli, maybe give Saka 50-60 minutes and see if he can build on his goal today.

Might see something like:

Ramsdale
Tomi Holding Gabriel Tierney
Sambi Xhaka Vieira
ESR Saka Nketiah

Ramsdale
Tomiyasu Holding Gabriel Tierney
Vieira Sambi Xhaka
Marquinhos Nketiah ESR

Ramsdale

Tomiyasu Holding Gabriel Tierney

Lokonga Zinchenko/Xhaka

Marquinos Vieira ESR

17:45 games are a bit annoying tho tbf :joy:

Are all our away games at this time?

Rate this although would give Turner a shot. Need to see what he’s about and whether he can be trusted.

Not sure the others are confirmed KO times yet but likely will be as United will be home when we’re away so they’ll be late.

If we can get away with fielding 12 players then I guess we should give it a shot

Yep. You do have a point.
He needs some minutes in games like this in case he needs to step in for Ramsdale in the middle od the season in some PL matches.

you will get a 0-1 win at 90+4 from a wicked deflection off Saliba’s ass…heard it here first.
