I hope we don't risk Maddison on the off chance that he 'might be fit enough' I have no faith in our medical team and any sign of Madders on the pitch on Saturday will probably be only time we see him in 2026...
Cunning plan to keep him on board for the promotion run in in 2627?
 
Any chance we can kidnap Tony Bloom and hold him over burning coals until he agrees to become our chairman?

Guaranteed that UEFA will change the criteria for multi-club ownership right before he does: He ran into issues a couple of seasons ago due to having majority stakes in Brighton and Union Saint-Gilloise when both qualified for Europe at the same time, after all

There was also a bit of unrest from Brighton fans earlier this season that he seemed to be prioritising Hearts over Brighton due to the former getting off to such a hot start
 
Bissouma and Bentancur confirmed back in the matchday squad.

Maddison not yet ready to reintegrate.

Vicario still out, massive moment for Kinsky to redeem himself.

De Zerbi has said that he hasn't yet decided who he will give the armband to. I'd personally just give it to Erik Lamela who will be the special guest on the day, and he can play instead of literally any of our attackers and it will be an improvement.

Common sense suggestion: give it to Porro, as he did a good job early in the season when TF handed him the armband

There's a lot of calls for Archie to be handed it, though
 
To be fair, he started that process last weekend. Looked confident and assured and exuded a degree of calmness.
Hopefully he will continue in that vein.

He had a good game and was one of the few to leave the pitch with credit intact.

But not many expected us to get a result at Sunderland. This is a different story. Lose tomorrow and there could be serious daylight between us and West Ham/Forest (who both have winnable games) going into the Wolves game.

The question remains whether Kinsky can deal with pressure. His head was a mess against Atleti, that can't happen again.

Massive game today. I’m still of the belief that one win will bring a few more however that has to start today otherwise we’re done.

With Chelsea away being one of our remaining fixtures, we’re effectively already one game less than everyone else anyway so today is the last chance.
