Matip out with an 'ankle issue'.

Go on Lucas!

Massive loss with Matip. Since when did he get injured?

Is Matip injured, I'm not to comfortable with Lucas as CB but we should be ok. If we can win today, which I fully expect us to do, then we get a buffer to chasing pack. I think Citeh are in a bit of trouble, losing Aguero and Fernandinio for 3-4 games will hurt them.

I'm going for Woodburn on in the 78th minute, scores in the 85th minute, tabloid hype machine explodes.

Last weekends game.

Does that mean you went for final score just a single goal with a CLEAN SHEET?

Can't say I'm expecting a clean sheet with Lucas and Lovren BUT they managed it mid-week so fingers crossed.  Trying to stay optimistic!

We have had 3 on the bounce

massive massive game   

 

Expecting a 1 - 5 win. Origi x2, Gigi, Bobby and Lucas on the score sheet.

Dayglo kit today, please don't pass to a steward 

Klavan should be in he is a natural CB.

Hope Lucas is up for it today, standing in for Matip, no easy task.

Just about!

Think this could be a decent little game to be honest.

Yeah! But winning a game 1-0 squeaky bum time?

Klavan should be in he is a natural CB.

I don't remember him doing anything wrong at the start of the season so not sure why he isn't getting the nod. 

And also - Marko Grujic - does he work somewhere else on Sundays? What has happened to him?

Klavan should be in he is a natural CB.

Agree with that,should win, but the Lucas Lovren pairing,is not filling me with much confidence tbh.

If were to remain genuine challengers for the title then 3 points is simply a must, every team will pick up injuries its how we deal with them and how consistent we remain in spite of them that will determine our true credentials.

I'll take a ground out hard fought 1-0 win right now if offered, but can see it being an entertaining game if Bournemouth are set up to play football.

COYR.

You should know bett! I live in Kathmandu! :-)

 Can understand Lucas Klavan no where near good enough

Klavan should be in he is a natural CB.

Thing is, we don't see them everyday in training.
