Get the custard !!!!Can we make this thread sticky?
I think that's by far the most likely, assuming no injuries, illness or other reasons for players missing.Lloris
Aurier Dier Toby Reguilion
Sissoko Hojberg Ndombele
Son Kane Stevie
Predictable but our biggest game of the season so far and we have to go all out with best 11.

Surely start off against TAA as he is not great defensively.I wonder which side Son will play on tonight. It'll be down to whichever FB Mourinho thinks he has a better chance of getting behind

Just hope he does'nt put Sanches in because of his speed, Salad wil use all game trying to get him to rush inn and cause a pelanty...
WhoScored are suggesting Jose might play three at the back. I think he did that at home against Pool last season? Wouldn’t surprise me, might be a good option with Son playing up top in 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 rather than having to track their full-backs constantly.

I hope not, I guess that would be at Bergwijn or Moura’s expense and would take away another both a minor offensive / counter option and also pressing. With the 4 + 2 dms and the I hope is seen as solid enough as we need to give them something to think about as arguably their high line could be something we can continually exploit.WhoScored are suggesting Jose might play three at the back.

Really, really hope we don't. We'll end up being pinned back as a back 5 - their wide forwards would drift wide, which would make our WBs drop deeper rather than the CBs being dragged out and exposing the central CB.
Better to have a back 4 and play somewhat narrow. Wouldnt surprise me to see Davies getting the nod over Reguilon this evening for that reason...though Regi's pace would also be useful defensively
Play Son at left back?Wouldn't put it past Mourinho to do something more surprising, but struggling to see what that would be.
We know that it'll end up being a back six and hit them on the break
With their pace up front, sitting back makes sense. Its why I like the rumours that Jose is after a quick CB - will enable us to defend a bit higher up. Even pushing forward 10 yards would make a hell of a difference in terms of how much easy possession the opposition get
