• 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.....

• 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.
