Going to be interesting to see how many people he's comfortable to give a full rest to today (i.e. leave them at home) and how much he doesnt trust the back-up players such that the bench is overly strong. If you assume the team is something like the following:
------------------------Hart----------------------------
---Doherty---Sanchez----Rodon----Davies----
--------------Sissoko--------Winks-------------------
-----------------------Dele----------------------------
------Moura---------Vinicius----------Bergwijn----
Then with 9 subs
- Presumably Whiteman or Austin as GK cover
- he's bound to have 3 defenders on the bench knowing Jose, so perhaps Tanganga, Alderweireld and Reguilon
- he's said only 1 U18 involved so thats likely to be Scarlett
- Bale was going to be involved if he got through training yesterday so thats a 6th
- couple CMs inevitably, and the only options are PEH and White given GLC is out
- and then given that none of Bale, Dele, Vinicius and Moura are exactly reliable at the moment, I'm guessing one of Sonny, Kane or Tubby will have to be involved
So a bench of Whiteman, Tanganga, Toby, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, White, Bale, Son, Scarlett
Means Dier, Ndombele, Aurier, Kane get a full break and can stay at home resting up for Villa
Hopefully if we can get say 3 up then he'll bring on White, Tanganga and Scarlett plus perhaps Bale....and then PEH, Toby and Son dont need to play
