My preference is to start strong and make subs if we’re winning. A team like:

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Lewis

Phillips
Silva
Foden

Mahrez
Haaland
Alvarez

Is pretty strong but still leaves Rodri, KDB, Dias, Akanji, Gundo and Grealish fresh for Madrid.
 
Strange how people are talking about this game. If we got to this stage of the competition, then there was always going to be some sort of league game between the two legs. That was inevitable. And it could have been worse than Everton, frankly. We've got to play a reasonably strong team, and I'm absolutely sure Pep will. Two changes, three at the absolute most, from the team that played on Tuesday. I'm not sure that I'd shift the back line at all, with the possible exception of bringing Laporte in. There's more room for manœuvre up front. I don't see that both Rodri and Gundo can be dropped.
 
Main thing for me is not to lose. Get at least a point and we can still afford to drop 2 points out of the last three games.

Sandwiched between the CL games this was always going to be tricky.

Trouble is if we play everyone who didn't play in Madrid then we're struggling for height. Lewis, Alvarez, Mahrez, Foden, Phillips. Could be a real struggle against "Dyche's Giants".

My guess:
Ederson
Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake
Rodri, Gundogan
Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden
Haaland
 
Not into this settle for a draw business.Chelsea will turn up and the last two away games are tricky.
Personally I feel we have no option but to start Rodri but we can rest others in what will be a big test.
 
Think some of our lads should get there early doors. Saw a hole in woodison, have a prance on the pitch, maybe in some comedy zebra pants, take a dump on Dyches seat, then give nev, camel and jake the bird before leaving through a convenient open door. I've bèen told, "the prem cant do anything at all as long as its not during the match" Jobs a good un. Nice rest until Wednesday

Chelsea have history of spoiling titles charges.

Liverpool in 2014 and Spurs in 2016 come to mind.

Both CL wins came when they were not a top performing team in the league.
 
I don’t envy Pep the choices he has to make … personally I would protect Rodri Stones Walker and Kev at least..as if things go tits up Sunday they can still be rectified.. fuck up Wed and it’s gone, and the ramifications might lead to arses and heads going costing us elsewhere. Hard calls but he’s the best there is and I trust him and the rest to get it right.

No worse fixture than Everton away and especialy after a huge win in the last game for them.

A win tomorrow and they are nearly safe and the stars have aligned and made it the perfect time to play us with Madrid on our minds.

Huge, difficult and physical game tomorrow.

A win for us would be a magnificent result in the circumstances.

Brighton had a rare off day,especially first half.Only MacAllister played anywhere near his usual standard,and as for their keeper.....he was shite.
In contrast,Everton played out of their skin,everything fell their way,and individuals,particularly McNeil,will never have a better game.

The crowd will be giddy as fuck,but we put out an experienced side,hopefully get an early goal.....and we'll be fine.

2014 - yes, but then they had Mourinho determined to spoil the party, and Gerrard slipped.
2016 - Spurs were never going to win it regardless of what Chelsea did.
