How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
Predicting lineups this season will be fun, given we might predict based on a completely different formation to the one we lined up with
Nothing about it being called off anywhere else Probably just SkyBet trying to mess up everybody's accumulator
Interesting team, no doubt rotated after the Super Cup. Vicario Porro Romero VdV Spence Gray Sarr Kudus Bergvall Johnson Richarlison Seems most likely, though it could be Vicario Gray Romero VdV Porro Sarr Bergvall Spence Kudus Johnson Richarlison Though with a healthy group of CBs on the bench I doubt Frank would be sticking Gray in a back 3 if he wanted to use that formation, so 433 surely most likely.

Pre match observations... 1. Still a lot of Asian fans here so they obviously ain't tourists 2. Really good atmosphere 3. Pre match warm up very different. Practising defending corners and free kicks. And I'm still as pessimistic as ever COYS
Early notes Great movement from Richy for the goal. I think he has that penalty box instinct and first time finishes more than Solanke, who is probably the better all round player. Archie Gray looks a little lost as the 6. Maybe he’s being marked well but he isn’t finding space or dragging players away to allow the CBs to progress the ball. We need to be a bit cannier. Can’t be doing the little shoves in the back (like Spence a few minutes ago) in our defensive third - it gives the opportunity for their players to go down and get the free kick, which is what they want.
Romero is having a bit of a mare so far. Misplaced passes and unnecessary fouls. Overall we started well, but have gone off the boil last 10.
