Holy shit a Sanson and even Traore sighting. Although no SJM as the rumours suggested is a big blow.

Meatball with Covid? Full strength apart from that. Then again, so are Chelsea...

Big day for Sanson. High hopes for him in this

Although I think he went off injured last time against Chelsea?

Disappointing to be sans Meatball, but it's still a good looking team on paper. Still, third of the top 3 to have played under the new regime, let's hope third time lucky for a result.

Was expecting a much worse first team line up.

Looking forward to watching Sanson.

Which means he’ll go off injured in the first half hour.

Really surprised we've started Ings (guess Leeds match postponed played a part). Would've rather have Ollie sticking as CF and El Ghazi on left.

Otherwise not so bad.

Got a feeling Lukaku will come on and decide this like he did in September, we never can handle him that well.

They've also got a much stronger CM unit out than in recent weeks.

Trez on the bench. Is today his first squad since the injury?
