Burnley (H) - Wed 31st Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Haaland94]

I think we might be back to playing John Stones at RB here, so back to what won us the title last season. John and Manu (when fit) at RB.

Otherwise, Rico next to Rodri. Good to see Nunes with a chance here. KDB starts, finally!

 

[Phil1]

Grealish not getting a great deal of game time currently.

Biding our time I think. We will see plenty of him over the next few months as long as he’s fit.

Surprised that KDB starts, glad to see Nunes get a start

Seems well out of favour at the moment.

Although I understand that KDB is KDB, I'm a little surprised that Pep isn't staying with what has been successful, given how well the team has been playing.

KDB has made a big difference in the last few games and is our best player, I believe he will start most games now, he'll probably get the hook after 65 to 75 min in the next few games.

Jeremy is probably a better fit for Burnley. Jeremy for the lower table teams, and Jack for upper half teams, IMO

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

We'll destroy these. 6-0.

What about the second half?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I would have liked Bobb to start at the expense of Nunes.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Thought Akanji was fit?

 

[FatedBlue77]

Wonder how we setup. Team looks interesting.

People are way over confident here. Difficult conditions won't help and it'll feel like a cup game. Burnley will be well up for this and their manager knows us inside out.

I'd take 1-1 and move on.
