I might be tempted to go 3-5-2, Clark coming in at the back alongside Vlaar and Baker. Push Bacuna into a wide midfield role on the right. Not sure I trust either Bennett or Luna as a traditional LB. Might even be temped to give Tonex another go down the left. Betrand missing will be a blow.
I would consider giving Tonev a go on the swings and slides by Trinity Road while the game is on. Maybe give him a ball and see if he can kick it over the Holte End.

It wouldn't surprise me if he went with five at the back for this one.

Well, we got Mourinho the sack in his first spell at Chelsea. That was the match when Abramovich walked out early and Doug, grinning all over his face, tried to shake his hand as he left.

The sort of game where we'll probably play quite well, have some chances and they'll then go from first to second gear and probably score either side of half time.

Then they'll give us a load of the ball and it will finish 2-0.

Think I also agree with five at the back, flip a coin between Luna and Bennett.

We'll win 2-1. Benteke to get both of our goals. Cahill to get theirs and celebrate like he's just won the World Cup.

As above. It worked last time. And we scored one more.
