We played well on Saturday but I expect a couple of changes as well. Would start Austin up front but keep Romeu and Clasie in.
We need to give Redmond a steady partnership. I agree Austin makes sense, he needs a proper run. Gutted I'm working on call Thursday.
I would play: Austin Tadic Davis Redmond Hojbjerg Romeu Targett Vvd Fonte Cedric FF I think he will play: Redmond Long Tadic Jwp Hojbjerg Romeu Targett vvd Fonte Cedric FF
To be fair I've been calling for strongest team as much as anyone but that's one change I wouldn't be suprised to see. Bertrand has just come back from injury so not sure if he can play both games.
That's a good call. I'd rather see him get his game time at home than say to a hosti European crowd. We can't play our best team in every game; we need to use the squad. I wouldn't be surprised if Maya plays (although personally I would play him against Palace in the cup).
I'd rather play Maya in the cup too. I'm going to keep saying it but this competetion should be our priority this year.

A teenage chick was getting stuck into long after the Arsenal game when he gave his shirt to someone. Cringe.
I've not really been around the football world for a week or two. What's going on with Boufal? Is he not fit?
Well it was always going to be October when we signed him but in Puel's press conference for Arsenal he said 1 month.
There's going to be a huge weight of expectation on his shoulders when he returns (particularly if we are still struggling).
