Does the oft mentioned Elliott 10 game clause include European matches?

Is that Lindelof at Right Back?

Good to see Buendia and Sancho starting. Line up is fine. Good to rest some key players if it works out. Lindelof at right back though?

Not sure about Lindelof at right back but you’d hope he wouldn’t be too exposed.

Nice to see Sancho start but still no place for Elliot in the first team which is a shame.

Back 4 looks a bit dodgy to me.

Lacks a bit of balance to say the least unless he is going 3 at the back

Could it be 3 at the back with Guessand and Maatsen wingbacks?

The last time Mings and Pau started together, they both decided to let the Brentford bloke run through untouched......let's  hope that is not an issue tonight.

As for Bizot, perhaps Emery is playing it safe because of the other changes in the back 4.

Pretty much our second string with Pau and Buendia. Hopefully enough.

Maybe, or a more complicated Unai variation on that theme!

Could it be that you deserve to stabbed brutally in the face?
