    TBH both defences look vulnerable so naturally it will finish 0-0.

    Let’s hope that they don’t crèche and burn then.

    Not with Perez on the pitch. I've been debating between 28/1 for him to score at least twice, or 150/1 for him to score at least three times.

    He's average (at best) for 36 games a season. Scores for fun in the other two.

    Interested to see how Bella-Kotchap and Salisu fare as a duo.

    Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.

    Wonder who will operate as the central striker. Arma played really well from wide against Leeds but Mara has previously played in a wider role. Will be interesting to see

    If Salisu turns back into the old defender of early last season that'll already greatly improve our defense.

    I can see Arma as the Left sided player, Mara leading the line but also dropping as a false 9. The beauty here is that they can all operate to a degree up the top, so it could ve horrible for defenders to mark them.

    Oh well, at least he's going for it. Fair play.

    Good point, I'm surprised it hasn't been made before.

    Slight tweak today for any kit nerds out there...

    Leicester in their customary blue-blue-blue today and as a result, the Saints kit becomes white-white-white, with the black shorts ditched.

    As you were.

    Just noticed Tielemans is only on the bench. Bonus.

    Blackmore saying it's a 4-3-3, with Elyounoussi deployed on the left side of the central three to help cover Djenepo.

    Aribo on one flank and then take your guess as to whether it's Armstrong/Mara up front. It looks fluid enough to rotate, tbf.
