Japh / Dier / Rodon / Reg
NDom / PEH / Dele
Lucas / Kane / Gil​

Today's caveats:

- As minimal disruption to the back 4 as poss (ditto the system in general).
- Japh to do a number of Zaha.
- Give Emerson his debut in Europe on Thursday. If he shines then consider who plays the Chav game in due course.
- If Stevie B has a niggle from last night; let him recover properly and play on Thursday rather than risk aggravating anything at longer term expense.
- Ditto Skippy..... Gonna be a long season.
- Roll the dice on Gil..... Could be the making of him.
agree on all counts except one. Ndombele will not start even if I want him to. So it will be Winks
 
The trouble with little twinges/knocks is that they can become a more serious injury.
I hate international breaks, we very rarely perform well after one.
 
No Lo Celso, Romero or Sanchez (all quarantining in Croatia)) and possibly no Son, Sessegnon or Skipp and Bergwijn having an ice pack on his leg after coming off (so maybe six if not seven out). Looks like we will need to have several youngsters on the bench, perhaps 4 youngsters.

Lloris
Tanganga, - Rodon, - Dier, - Reguilon
Hojberg Winks , Dele
Moura, Kane, Gil​

Subs : Gollini, Doherty, Royal, Davies, Ndombele (5) plus probably 4 youngsters from Omole (CB,), Paskotsi, (CB) White (CM), John, (CM)) Clarke (AM) , Scarlett (Striker)

Maybe clues as to who might be on the subs bench :

 
Fair play on the Saturday.

A mistake. No issue for me. We all make them..Some of us are happy to admit it.

As for us losing, what does history tell you.

Not that a loss is a forgone conclusion.... Not by any means, Mr Doom-Yoda.
 
agree on all counts except one. Ndombele will not start even if I want him to. So it will be Winks

What I want; not a prediction.

For me picking TN would be using the Skipp injury to our convenience.....

In bestest Nuno voice: "Events have conspired to give you a chance that you haven't earned.... Go and prove me wrong."
