Burnley (H) - Sat 16 Oct 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Walker, Dias, Gundogan and Grealish all on the bench. Hmm. If this goes Pete, the match and post match threads will be interesting!

You know the score. 35 page thread if we win, 230 if we don’t

This Burnley team couldn't beat Norwich, we'll be fine.

Interesting line up. Dias occasionally needs a rest I suppose. They are going to lob balls into our box whenever they get the chance. Hope we have some decent headers out of defence. Ake is pretty good at that. Should have enough to beat them but if they keep us out for the first 20 minutes or so I think the crowd will get restless and it will be wall to wall misery on here.

I’d be more confident if Walker, Dias and Grealish were starting.

Still think we’ll win though, just not by about 4 or 5, unfortunately.

It will be 0-0 get on @ 25/1

Expecting a disjointed performance defensively as I doubt the back 5 have ever played together. That midfield will still control the game and create plenty of chances though. I reckon we'll concede but should have too much for them.

We need at least 2 since Cornet is going to get one

They’re even shitter without Ben Mee.

I'm not happy with the weakened defence. Plus with Stirling playing also. I'm putting this match down as a draw. (But I hope we win of course).

"Sterling", by the way.

we should beat Burnley mo matter what the team is tbh
if we continue to drop points with the small teams it's pretty obvious that we aren't winning the PL this season

Lol it does feel inevitable
