Sorry. Just seen he’s on the bench!

Less of a leak and more of a drip I guess.

433?  Or strict 4 across midfield with Bailey up with Watkins.

Bailey needs an away performance tonight.

Will struggle against quick forwards those two. Tielemans has really struggled in that Ramsey position previously so surprised Emery has gone with it again.

Big night for Bailey.

                  Emi
Cash Carlo  Lenglet   Digne
             Boubacar
Tielemans Luiz McGinn
   Bailey
                 Watkins

That's how I see them lining up. Apparently AZ attack with wingbacks, so it's vital that either Bailey puts a shift in covering back, or Tielemans and Kamara can protect that side.

If we had say Torres or Konsa at the back with Carlos instead of Lenglet, then I'm sure fans would be happy. Don't see why Lenglet is viewed so negatively. 15 caps and 105 games for Barca tell me he's no mug.

One of AZ's centrebacks is a converted defensive midfielder and Ibrahim - 23yr old 5'6" winger from Ghana makes his debut for them.
