Just great to see Johny Boulders in the line up.
Good minutes for Rico and Nunes too not forgetting KDB starts as does the Count.

Apologies for beating a dead horse, but I can't imagine Phil is happy going back to the wing despite being arguably our best/most consistent player centrally all season.

Be interesting to see where Nunes plays - he could well be playing on the right, but regardless he needs to play well as these are the sort of games he was bought for.
Back training this week but no point rushing him back into the team unnecessarily.Thought Akanji was fit?
Not fully fit.Thought Akanji was fit?
Bench is packed so probably no need to use him till he's fully fit.
I would like to see him on the right, actually. I think playing centrally for us is a very difficult task. I would have Phil in the middle where he excels, and Nunes on the right, for the time being.Be interesting to see where Nunes plays - he could well be playing on the right, but regardless he needs to play well as these are the sort of games he was bought for.

1.1 at home against a side second bottom and second lowest scorers in the league????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.

Foden's 250th appearance for us tonight.
He's 23.

1) Nunes is either Rodri's partner, meaning Lewis goes wide right and Phil tucks in.
Or
2) Nunes plays higher up in the 10 role with Kevin, with Lewis tucking in next to Rodri and Phil staying wide right.
Personally prefer option 1 simply because I like Phil playing more centrally, and I think Nunes has the physicality to excel in that box to box role, moreso than Lewis, and needs minutes there to learn. We also get to see Lewis playing as a more natural wide attacking right back, curious to see how he carries on there.
