Hes gone 4141 ir 4231 depending on how you see it.
Strong side.
STRONG bench!

 

[lesterboy]

I fancy another 9 - 0...

 

[mabrah]

Wha'dya expect? Side pretty much picks itself at the moment but there's now some competition from the bench. Looking good.

Now watch us stuff it up.

I think they’re a bad matchup for us, 1-2 to them.

(Hope I’m wrong)

 

[Brown Nose]

Subs: Ward, Söyüncü, Amartey, Ricardo, Thomas, Mendy, Ünder, Pérez, Iheanacho.

Add Praet and Fuchs to that 9 and you have a mid table quality PL side.

 

[City Fan]

You mean we haven’t gone back to three centre backs after a 4 match unbeaten run with a back four?!

Well I never...

 

[Jenks]

About time we shuffled off our poor home form and take the game to them. They’re good. But we’re better. Come on you beautiful blue bastards!!

Well I never...

Draws with Palace and Man Yoo, loss to Everton at home. Yep - no improvements to be made....

 

[parafox]

Can't see us getting a win here unfortunately

 

[Flabby Owl]

Entire back 6 on the bench highlights a lack of attacking options. But I like the lineup, and good to have Ricardo there.

 

[Payne74]

Other than Nacho and an unknown Under that is some bench

 

[sparky79]

No Vestergaard, Romeu, Djenepo, Ings is a big miss for them. All integral to their good form.

 

[popillius]

Picks itself at the moment.

 

[fitz]

We'll piss aaaallll owa these. Bunch of shitcunts punching above their weight. 9-0 again.

 

[DillyDing22]

No Vestergaard, Romeu, Djenepo, Ings is a big miss for them. All integral to their good form.

Walcott loves to score against us. And that Diallo seems a very capable premier league midfielder. Ings’ absence however is a big slice of fortune.

I feel we will need at least 2 goals here, can almost guarantee a ward-prowse set piece goal.

 

[Brown Nose]

Our home record of W3 D1 L4 has to be improved if we're serious about a top four finish.

Two home matches against two competitors for those places over the next few days. Vital that we take at least four points from them.

Big night tonight for our season. You have to boss Southampton, not let them boss you. Much depends on whether we take control of the game from the start. They will be a threat at set pieces. However, very few of their players would get into our team. So we have to believe in our superiority.

 

[Graz]

Team as expected.

Great to see Ricardo back on the bench. Him, Soyuncu, Amartey, Ndidi all in the match squad - it's been a while!

Shake off our dodgy home form. 3-1 Leicester win.

 

[lesterboy]

Redmond out for them too. This is good time to play a team in form and one who we have struggled against recently.
I'd take any kind of win and no injures.
