Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 16th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (GMT). 'Not on TV for those in the UK'.

Managed to give quite a few players rest in the CL which is good.

I don't know whether Haaland is fit but I doubt it. Not sure on Doku's status either.
Hopefully Grealish didn't have a knock at the end of the 1st half either.

Palace do have a habit of showing up at our place, hopefully we're fully prepared for that.

My guess would be:
--------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Dias---Ake
----------------Rodri
---------Nunes----Foden
Bernardo----Alvarez---Grealish

 

[Gigant]

Ederson
Akanji Dias Stones Ake
Rodri Kovačić

We'll be ok Bright, Wright & in recent times fucking Townsend jr isn't there.

Going to assume doku and haaland arent ready for this but they'd come in if they were.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo
Bobb
Foden
Alvarez

Expect something like that.

Just want to see the same intensity in our passing as we saw against Luton and im confident of a win regardless of who plays. That's been what's missing from our game all season but when we play it 1 or 2 touch and move, we're almost unplayable and can carve teams open.

I’ve always quite liked a good 6 1 to be fair

Would love to see Nunes get another start and see if he can build on tonight and get some momentum going. I think his legs next to Rodri could be useful. Especially as Rodri is already nearing a 10th yellow. We need to take some defensive burden off of him.

I doubt Akanji will start but he really should be playing given his form- especially when compared to Walker's. I don't see Haaland starting on only two days of training either, but who knows? Hopefully, Doku will be back training soon.
