No issue with Harvey starting deserves it be surprised  if he went with Endo although Grav one.booking away from suspension against Mancs as is Gakpo who I also think should sit out

Gakpo will be rested for the Utd match but I would not leave Gravenberch out even if i know that he is one yellow away.

Jones, Mac Allister and Gravenberch in the middle with Diaz, Salah and Nunez ( I would insert Jota in the second half to manage his minutes). Tsimikas instead of Robertson so to have a fresh Robertson for Utd.

Big pitch down there another big test for the lads they come every 3 days now
 Let's just get behind Arne and the boys

I agree, be very surprised to see Grav left out. Just needs to be a bit more careful to avoid a yellow. There's a week between this and the Utd game.

Damn son, you going for a ton of changes. I bet it's the same squad, barring Diaz in for Jota and maybe Tsimi for Robbo. Slot seems to favor a small squad. I do see Elliot and Jota playing a big part in the 2nd half.

It’s a busy period with games coming thick and fast , this is the time to keep all the players fresh , changes foe West Ham , strong for the Mancs and then wholesale changes for Accy

If we are thinking about prioritising games, let's not forget West Ham are currently ahead of Utd in the league and on a four match unbeaten run. Not saying they are any good like but we still have to do the job.

Don't disagree with the logic, but I think Slot keeps the similar lineup and then uses a week to recover before United and then rotates heavily in FA cup

We have Spurs before Stanley . Will make changes against Spurs but not as many as some think.Ibou and Bradley will start that game Utd will come too soon

You could have this but with Jones beside MacAllister. I don't expect Arne to go for Endo in a league game.

Elliot good shout to come in.

Elliot food shout to come in.

Yeah, Elliott should be hungry to start alright...

On paper a tricky game but both our closest rivals smashed these so an absolute must win.

Hate playing this mob at theirs. Wanna pop everyone of those F***ing bubbles.


Comeoon laddssss. Get the 3 points then get the F**k out of there!

I'd be surprised if theres more than 2 changes  tomorrow. We have a full week between tomorrow and them horrible bas**rds next sunday so strongest team  out and lets get it won early doors.

0-3 to Slots tricky reds.

With the next game a week away, no need to rest anybody for that. Arne might want some fresh legs from such a recent game as Thursday though, so could see Jota and Diaz come in. Harvey might too but probably not. (Is a shame Dom is suspended.)

Other than that, maybe just Kostas for Robbo.

Expect us to win. They are an average team, and their stadium doesn't generate enough atmosphere to give them much home advantage. Tight win, but a win.

I’d like this to be the team.

Glad that big lump Soucek is out. Also not having to deal with Antonio is a boost as he usually likes to put himself about against us.

Wouldnt be risking Grav or Cody here with united in mind. Though I expect grav will play with Dom. Ideal game to use Endo in my opinion. Use the squad.

Nunez to come on 2nd half hopefully with the game won. Harvey also to get some minutes and dare I say Chiesa as well.

Then a week to prep for United.

I dunno why I can't stand them, but i really do dislike WH. I can't stand Antonio, I can't stand the song about blowing Bubbles (whoever he is) and I can't stand their fans.

Their Stadium is way too big for a crap club like them

They have fabianski injured. Soucek and Rodriguez are suspended.

We need to win and more on.

Next week we play the team in 14th place who have lost 4/5 of their recent league games. Could be an even worse record after tomorrow night.
We need to start thinking of them as another mediocre mid table team playing in their cup final and pick todays team accordingly

Any away game has to be treated with caution. Think these have a few injury concerns.

We've not been very good to put it mildly at stopping counter attacks leading to goals against us and that is something we will need to fix soon.

1-3 win I'll go for.

Could be a tricky game against the Hammers, who will no doubt try to raise their game. Still a win for the Reds will be great result.

If we turn up as we have done every game so far we will be fine.

Whilst are game is televised at 5.15pm city is televised at 3pm whilst other games take place. Could we finally see 3pm games at Anfield...

It’s not a Saturday

Hammers weakened by injuries and suspensions, but so are we.
Just don’t need to be complacent. We start to think games are gonna be easy, and it’ll be our downfall.
Expect Arne will have the boys fired up in the dressing room, they just need to take that onto the pitch.
Pleeeeaaasssse, no slow start today and going behind !
On it from start to finish and they won’t live with us. No doubt they’ll sit back and be looking to counter our attacks, so we need an early goal to make them open up a bit. Confident of a win if we go start to finish with the right attitude.
I’m going for 0:3 and to pop their stupid childish F***ing bubbles !

It’s not a Saturday

Games outside of the Saturday 3pm KO blackout are all better for broadcast revenue.

Hammers weakened by injuries and suspensions, but so are we.

Not sure why nobody wants to acknowledge that we have our own injury problems too. Simply lazy punditry.

And Nunez to finish them off

….

*opens lfcreds*

*closes lfcreds*

Same team for me that started the last game, although I have no doubt it won’t be.

Just get the job done first half please.

Three more points to the Slot Machine hopefully

Just get the job done first half please.

I love your optimistic attitude more likely a 96th minute winner by Joe Gomez

Got a 3am wake up tomorrow for work so more hope if anything  get it done first half so I can calm down the adrenaline second half ready for bed 

This is us though so fully expect it to go the way you say, and me up all night with a heart rate through the roof

As long as we win mate. I too will be up at 3.00am but only for a pee

Kelleher, Quansah, Robbo, Endo,Morton, Elliott, Chiesa, Gakpo, Nunez.

Cody played 90 against leicester and only 1 yellow away from missing United. As is Grav, hopefully can take him off for endo early.

Be surprised if he plays Grav for this one - he's one card away from a suspension - and we will deffo need him when we play Manure (as bad as they are)
Yellows have been handed out like confetti this season - think Cody is also only one away too
Grav on the bench -  Jones and Elliott maybe?

We must win at all costs and put three more points between us and second.

No gimme for Arsenal at Brentford ... but if we drop points today it certainly gives them a boost. Be tougher for them knowing they have to win just to tread water.

Brentford have been great at home this season, but yes, we have to take care of our own business first and foremost....

Gone for 2-0 today. Cant say im convinced on the clean sheet, but we are due one surely
