Really hope Bergvall is fit to start over Sarr but imagine its fairly unlikely and we'll be lucky to see him on the bench at best.

I think the team picks itself. Its a cup final so you have to side with pragmatism. Throwing Odobert or Son into the 10 would be a huge gamble which I don't think we need to take, we'd quickly find ourselves with massive gaps and probably end up playing a 4-2-4 if Odobert/Son get lost during the game. Sarr has to start if he's fit and Bergvall is not ready. If neither are fit then I'd go with Gray!

My idea is Bentancur should be pushed into the 10 with the other 2 sitting. Or else have Bissouma sitting with the other two playing as 8s. Yes, there is a real lack of creativity in this midfield but this pragmatic approach in midfield will allow Porro and Udogie more license than ever to get forward and attack. We'll have at least 2 DM's covering at all times.

My preferred team is the below:

Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Udogie
Bentancur Bissouma Sarr
Johnson Solanke Son

Bergval can start over Sarr if fit and play in the 10 with other 2 sitting.

Richarlison and Tel should both make a big impact off the bench. We can try Odobert in the 10 if chasing the game and desperate.

this is my team but Richi to start for physical presence. with lack of creativity at least he is a threat in the air. Sonny later for fresh legs (or Tel/Odobert/Moore - fucking hell how have we got 4 that can play there!)

If I didn't think I knew that Scarlett had just come back from an op, I'd think Dane's comments were from someone who thought he'd be involved, probably on bench, tonight. Too much of a stretch ? And no sub appearance in last match and straight into the squad for a Final ?

He was in open training yesterday so should be fine to make the bench. Likely had the surgery a while ago but the club kept it quiet.
