Crystal Palace (A) - Sat 6th April, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Will Hughes (28?) starts in the midfield for Palace. Been on the losing side in all 5 games he’s played against us, so fingers crossed that run continues. Should have retired after the Davinci Code…

I get resting foden completely but I do wonder if pep doesnt think he can play both foden and KDB centrally as well.

With stones there stepping into midfield alongside rodri and the work rate of Alvarez especially with pressing it basically frees KDB up from any defensive duties.

Dont know much about Susoho except that he is a midfielder - anything know much about him?

The Clash once sang "I predict a riot." Well I predict a struggle. I'll be delighted though to be 4-0 up in 20 minutes, win 8-0 and be royally taken the piss out of. If only.

Erm...

I like the look of this line up. 2-0 city

Currently stood next to 6 Americans who look like they've never been to a game! Dressed for day out at Disney!

Don't mind seeing Foden being rested, he's played a lot including the International games where he played 2 full games. Clearly being rested before Real Madrid. Right choice in my opinion

Thought Stones may have been kept wrapped up until Real Madrid but maybe he needs some minutes.

Don't mind that team considering the games are piling up.

Hopefully we can make it comfortable and bring Rodri off. We're such a different team without him and can't afford to start without him because of the league position.

Guess it is something like this in possession:

------Stones-----Dias----Gvardiol

------------ Lewis----------Rodri

Bobb----KDB-----Alvarez------Grealish

----------------------Haaland

Tierney and attwell on var so i am expecting us to get kicked to death and screwed whenever possible by the pair of them

A clean sheet??? Are you sure?

 

[borassic]

Two number 10's always makes things interesting.

KDB will play further back I reckon.

 

[cleavers]

I get resting foden completely

He was limping after Wednesday night when he walked away from his interview.

 

[paulchapo]

Erm...

I always get who sang that song mixed up.lol.

 

[eversince 76]

Palace away. Always tough.
Normally I never mind the starting 11. Nor do I now.

It’s simple. 3 points. And if (big if) possible try and get the goaldifference look better.
