Kick off time 14:00 GMT.

Very difficult game, they're currently 4th in the league and don't get beat at home often. They don't win a lot either, a lot of draws. They have lost their last 2 home games to United and Strasbourg, their only home losses. 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in their 7 league home games.

They play Shelbourne away tomorrow in a game where they need a result, so should go strong, meaning they'll have less than 72 hours to recover.

Just 3 away wins in 7 away league games, got to get on top of that.
I feel like we need to make changes but I don't trust anyone to come in and do a job yet.

--------------Donnarumma
Nunes---Dias---Gvardiol---O'Reilly
------------------Gonzalez
----------Foden--------Bernardo
Cherki--------Haaland----------Doku

I think he might start Reijnders over Bernardo, to avoid running him into the ground but I think he'll only make 1 or 2 changes.

Rodri please come back soon.
Marmoush and Ait-Nouri go to AFCON after this.

Brentford in the league cup midweek, a game I really want us to win but expect Pep to rotate there.

Arsenal play Wolves on Saturday, so we will be 5 behind. I'm not sure we'll win this one but if we do, we could really put the pressure on next weekend. As we play West Ham (H) 5 hours before they play Everton (A) on a Saturday night.
 
Shit. I hadn't even realized we had to play this lot on a short week. At least it's Sunday versus Saturday.

Rodri(if fit)Nico

O’Reilly and Gonzalez looked seriously gassed in injury time.

Maybe Ait Nouri comes in, or they get through this game and don’t play in the cup game to Brentford.

O’Reilly looked the same at Fulham but his recovery is exceptional so I’d play him and rest him against Brentford.

Gonzalez has to play if Rodri out.

I think we need to buy/loan a midfielder if the Rodri situation doesn’t improve in the coming weeks.
 
Gvardiol and O'Reilly are young, they can recover well. Bernie, on the other hand, is likely to struggle. Can see Reijnders starting instead of him.

Wouldn't be too surprised to see Marmoush on the left instead of Doku who might be tired after two nearly full games vs Sunderland and Real.

They also play midweek so no excuses.
Last time they played midweek they lost their next game. Only got a small squad not many rotated. CTID

They play Shelbourne who are absolutely gash not scored in 4 games. Could play the kids and win.

This will be a tougher test than tonight imo. I'm keeping the same winning 11 tho.

Donnarumma

Nunes Dias Gvardiol O'Reily

Bernardo Gonzalez Foden

Cherki Haaland Doku

Come on boys.
