Pretty attacking line-up. Bailey rested, and good to see Cash and Lenglet back on the bench.

Looks like McGinn/Tielemans centrally i guess. If we can take our chances you never know.....

Tielemans and McGinn have a lot of work to do today

Big call by Unai going with Zaniolo and Diaby. Morgan and Youri need to have a good day.

My immediate thought, with both Z and Rogers starting, is that we will be too open and lacking dynamism. I hope I'm wrong ...

We are as weak as we have ever been since Unai took over, bench appears to be empty of good options other than Leon. Prayers needed.

Overall that's the best team we can put out in the circumstances.

They have huge threats out wide so Konsa and Digne are the two best at dealing with that. I also think Diaby has been in better form than Bailey in last six weeks so this is his chance to force a start on Thursday.

Also good to see Cashy and Lenglet return to the bench. They'll be options to start on Thursday if they get last 20 minutes today.

This isn't a white flag selection like Man. City so looking forward to seeing how we do.

They’re going to slice through that midfield as often as they like. Not that the manager had any options due to Doug being a dickhead.

We're going to need a very disciplined McGinn.
