    Yep, debatable whether Cedric will be ready, but if he is he will probably be RWB against Burnley.

    I think Yoshida might start against Burnley. Not match fit today, but he’ll get some minutes.

    Assuming that Cedric isn't deemed fit enough to start next weekend - that and everyone comes through today and the next week unscathed - then yes I would assume that's our line-up for next weekend. It's what you'd expect from your final pre-season friendly.

    Purely based on our current squad of players, and that this is the formation that Hughes is clearly wanting to pursue, I think that's the XI I would pick, when Cedric is unavailable.

    Lemina hasn’t featured much in pre-season. Would assume he won’t be quite as fit as the others.

    Don’t understand all this “not match fit” bollocks, all the players have had a full pre season training camp , and the ones who were at the WC would of been training everyday and playing 3 games minimum in the group stage (if they featured) and even if they didn’t start the game they would of been match ready. The only excuse for me that a professional player wouldnt be match fit is if they’ve been injured or out for a extended period of time for whatever reason. Fitness can always be improved of course, but there’s no excuse for any of our lads not being fit enough to play against Burnley, none.

    Really hope the midfield of Lemina and Hojbjerg clicks today, I'd love that to be our regular midfield

    Yoshida has just come back from 3 weeks holiday so is not match fit. No bollox whatsoever.
