Burnley (A) Carabao Cup R4 | Pre-Match Thread

[Easy]

Is Bernardo likely to feature?

I’d rest Foden and Walker.

Doubt it as he’s just got back to training. Probably bench on the weekend at best.

Steffen
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Doyle
Foden
Mahrez
Torres
Delap

Like this Ric, looks a very solid back 4 on paper so let’s get it on the pitch & see what it can do & build up an understanding. Also more game time for Torres to settle in & Doyle & Delap to show they can cut it as this level.

Not actually sure if Dias will have been registered in time now?

Don’t think registration would be the issue ... don’t see Pep starting him ... off the bench and 20 odd mins means he *could* be thinking of starting him against Leeds ...

But most realistic is really after the stupid international break ... no easy games on that side of the internationals either ... we have Arsenal on the weekend straight after and then CL first game that very midweek.

Probably our best chance of a trophy, I've seen nothing even this early to suggest a level prem with the dips/rags/refs....I'd honestly go strong in this, by the time the next round is played it'll be almost Xmas & we may have a few less injuries by then.

Play zivchenko in his position he plays for the ukrain and and don't let garcia near the team

Cant understand Laporte starting. Why risk injuring him? Leeds is more important.

Laporte hasn’t played since the Lyon game a long time. 70 minutes against a rotated Burnley side is better for his return to fitness than a high intensity Leeds.

Ake has more rhythm so would expect him to start vs Leeds.

After the int. break they can compete for the spot.

Is it right that kick off is 7pm tonight? They've messed around with fixtures so much that I haven't a clue anymore.
