Yeah was disappointed when I saw the three at the back again, but that's an attacking midfield with two up front so let's see.

Feel a bit sorry for Hause unless he's injured?

it may be one up front with Watkins left wing and Buendia right wing

I think Luiz should of been rested with Nakamba coming in.

Hoping for big game from Buendia and to see Sanson

And an impressive win

Strange selection, going with only 2 in midfield. We might struggle there. Harsh on Hause but Tuanzebe should be a lot better on the ball.

Hm, could be a 3-4-1-2, like Serie A in the 90s. If so I fully expect James Richardson to present the coverage with a pink newspaper and a massive ice cream.

he'd be a massive improvement on the pricks that present football these days

Jimenez on the bench for them Traore and their new lad up front.

No real shock with that team. Feels like the time to give Ramsey a rest for a few weeks given he's dipped a bit and Axel was always going to come back.

Interesting Doug starts. Surely no way he'll last 90 minutes so think I'd rather have had him on the bench given how game will likely pan out.

Think Buendia will drop properly into CM when out of possesion. Otherwise yes asking hell of a lot of ground for McGinn and Luiz to cover considering they've been round the world and back over last two weeks. That could be a weak point for us.

Yeah, but why was Axel always going to come back? What's Hause done wrong? This thing that Axel is some sort of Beckenbauer with the ball, I don't buy.
