Setting  off for VP now. A must win match that I have no doubt we will win. PL  should  select the strongest team available.

That team should be enough to get the job done.  I'd have stuck Ron in though to work on his partnership with Baker.  Who's in central defence, Lichaj?

Lowton can play there so I imagine he's partnering Baker.

4-3-3? And not a 4-5-1 that we normally play when people talk about 4-3-3.

I think he is desperately trying to find the NZogbia that we saw at Wigan.

Lowton and Baker centre back, Lichaz right and Stevens left back.

Interesting to see how the midfield line up.

No width at all in that side. I fear a long night.
