I'm ok with that.

Onanna needs to step up as he is senior bod in midfield tonight.

I take it Konsa not Lindelof at RB?

Hope to see the Maatsen/Sancho combo do some damage

Team is strong enough to win the game, same v Eagles. That said that midfield combo and right back won't exactly help us on a night we will dominate the ball. Not sure at all about Malen leading the line or Guessand again on the right.

Triple change incoming at the break id say. Cash needs to come on anyway at RB, Lindelof as expected is lost there. If Tielemans is any way fit he should come into midfield, our midfield two have been dreadful. Id like to see Elliot come on for Guessand but suspect Buendia will be on before him.

Up to 5th in the live table.

Surprised Malen took the penalty only because he's not certain to be on the pitch for us when we next get one in the prem.
