Alisson
TAA Hendo Fab Robbo
Jones Thiago Gini
Salah Bobby Mane
If fit, would slot Matip in, then Hendo into the middle with Jones to the bench.
AOC hasn't done enough to get ahead of Curtis on recent games played.
Unbelievable really, who would have thought would see Hendo/Fab lining out at CB in PL matches. Just shows the strength we have in midfield when we can still field Thiago, Gini + one from AOC/Jones/Shaq there.
Salah has been poor, barely had a kick last three games - but EVEN then, can't see Shaq/Taki coming into a game like this for him. If Jota was available, sure - but thats not happening.
Mane hasn't played as well as we know he can, but man is he a battler, even when not in top gear, he will influence games.
Bobby has been hit and miss - but has scored some great/important goals, so has to start.
Hard to believe Utd are top of the table. Don't think they would be if we had 2 from VVD/Gomez/Matip playing week in week out, but there you go - they're in good form and will come to sit, soak up the pressure and hit fast on the break. And likely try cause us problems from set pieces.
Always billed as a massive game, but for us I think it is.
Citeh are stringing wins together, and could/likely will take 3 from their game in hand and go ahead of us also. Going further behind both would mean need both to drop points / for us to out point both. Not impossible, but we know the kind of runs Citeh can put together.
So would really prefer to beat these F***ing wankers
