It would have been nice to see Emery try something a little different tonight and start Tammy. Even Tammy and Ollie.

Not sure how Buendia and Watkins can be justified to keep thier places as both have stunk the place out recently.

Conversely it's time they gave us a big performance. A must win game if ever there was one.

A decent performance would also not go amiss in readiness for an even bigger season defining game on Wed

The middle of the park needs to turn up for the fight too, Luiz and Onana. No one going missing tonight.

Emery really does have a blind spot with Watkins.

Tammy not starting?
Digne instead of Maatsen?

In Unai we trust.

Just make sure that trust isn't misplaced.

Start fast, pressure their midfield and back line and make them crumble.

That team should be good enough to beat Wolves but I'm not sure how Digne gets a start as he's been a car crash recently.

Would also have started Abraham over Watkins but maybe Watkins can repay the faith that Unai is placing in him.

Need this one tonight. Come on boys!

The perseverance of Watkins is a killer. And I thought Pau was teachers pet until this season.

This game could go down in history as The Albert Einstein - Unai Emery derby.

It could also go down as the Epstein - Emery Derby.

Pau - yay
Buendia - nay
Digne - are we sure?

Digne, definitely not. That's a strange call. Ollie over Tammy again is strange. But the key one is Torres is for Mings

Those 2 line ups have 4-0 away win written all over them.

Ah, hubris. You may be right, but if and only if we match their workrate.

I hope Unai is very demanding of the players.
