A stronger line up than expected.

 

[Miles Away]

Interesting. A mix. Surprised to see Drinky start.

 

[martin peters]

I like it, looks good on paper, should be a good game

 

[Jeff]

Kante's on the bench for Chelsea.

I prefer Morrisons.

Drinky?

Really think he should be rested. And Wes, if benalouane is fit enough for the bench he should be starting.

Rest is fair game.

I trust Ranieri to know which main players need resting and which don't. This is a classic 'we'll rest a few but we still want to win' line-up, keeping part of the spine.

 

[Graz]

Interesting. Surprised to see Drinky and Morgan start. Where's Hernandez? Seems strange he's not involved.

Good team though, think it's a sign Ranieri wants to win this

 

[Brown Nose]

Very odd.

Not a strong enough line up to win but Morgan and Drinkwater put to work yet again. What's the point?

 

[pork pie fox]

Morgan & DD, in particular, I find odd selections. I get that Simpson might benefit from a game to regain match fitness, but the other two are strange choices, IMO.

I wouldn't even risk either of them.

 

[Feriol]

I doubt Morgan and Drinkwater will play all play all game. Benny won't be fit enough for 90 minutes, and Drinkwater and Amartey to do half each perhaps.

 

[harrowfox]

Sounds plausible but why not start Benny and sub with Morgan later?

 

[Micky]

Drinky and Wes to come off after 60. Kaputska to come on and look like a pub player.

 

[homer]

Bit puzzled, I have to say

 

[Graz]

Hernandez must have a knock or something to not be included I think. His exclusion/Morgan starting is the biggest surprise for me.

Either Drinky or Amartey HAD to play so I'm not as surprised by that one.
