I think for the first time, in a very long time, I will skip this one.
8pm kick-off is 4am on a Monday morning for me and I really don't fancy watching us getting smashed (negative I know, but I can't see any other outcome).
And who will score for us?
City game:
Lloris
Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies
Wanyama, Dembele
Lamela, Eriksen, Lucas
Kane
Pikeys game:
Vorm
Aurier, Foyth, Dier, Walker-Peters
Skipp, Winks
Sissoko, Dele, Son
Llorente
I’m confident, we’ve been getting slowly better, Lamela should be able to start and Eriksen is back, City look good but this is their biggest test of the season so far.
No way should Wanyama start this game nor Dembele in the defensive 2 as much as I love him. The quick passing will get around them too easily. Dembele is a good option off the bench but these days I don’t think he suits the defensive midfield role but rather playing more advanced as one of the three behind Kane. This is a game for Dier Winks and Aurier.City game:
