Few rested imo but not to much this should be enough to beat Chelsea in current form

 

[GazM]

Play Phillips for every PL minute that we have left in order to build up his inevitable sell on price.

Not until it's won. After that I'm pretty sure he'll get onto the pitch. If we win I wonder how he'll feel picking up his medal ?

He should feel good. Unlucky with injury and the undroppable Godri. Every time I have seen him he has been great with his team mates, never sulks

Probably the same as Aké felt in 2021 - determined to be a big part of it next time around.

Full strength win the league then give the first team a week off, easy this management stuff

 

[Dirty Harry]

Can’t imagine we’ll be short of confidence on this one, maybe Kev on the bench if he was ill Wednesday but that’s about it, like others, I’m in the ‘get it sorted Sunday’ camp, and then we can go from there.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Rest KDB full strength otherwise.

After it’s won we would have the luxury of the last two games rendered meaningless other than a balancing act between keeping rhythm and rest.

Oh and play Ake if fit perhaps.

Doesn't a player have to have played a certain minimum number of matches (or at least minutes) to qualify?

 

[Ducado]

You would think most of the team would want to play, especially with it being such a pivotal game

Can also see the club wanting it over and done with so players can rested and rejuvenated for the two cup finals

 

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

EVEN CITY, the team I've supported since 1956, can't throw this one away.
I think it's fairly unlikely we lose our next 3 games and Arsenal win both theirs 9-0.
