Crystal Palace (A) - Sat 7th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Disagree. Has to be Gvardiol and Dias as the CBs. S-P isn't ready for this. Palace have some dangerous players up front, and we'll need experienced heads out there.

Think SP will be fine next to dias

Def is weak especially with Stones, Ake and Manu out. Everyone will need to work super hard in pressing and getting back if we want to win.

Going with a 2-1 win with a shit ton of nervy moments.

Any chance this will be postponed? Forecast tomorrow looks shite. High winds and heavy rain etc.

They've scored 12 goals in 14 games which is the 2nd worst in the division.

Well they are playing us so it will be best in the division Saturday.

Yes, let's just get the win. A back 3 would be another alternative, not sure we've the correct personnel to drop back and help out though.

Back-to-back wins and you might just hear feint murmurs of 'oh hang on maybe we went too early on City's demise'.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow, something quite alluring about our Jekyll and Hyde act at the moment.

They looked shite against Ipswich so yeah...could turn it on when we rock up.

Ultimately, with Juve, Rags and Villa to play we're better off giving SP minutes in this game and keeping the general shape otherwise than mixing things up further. Hopefully Stones and Akanji are both back soon, even if Ake isn't. Three tough games that have the potential to really define our season.

Win at Palace without injuries first step!

Should be enough. Hopefully. Weather will make it tough.
