You can write their tactics now.
Give it Zaha on the breakaway for him to run through our headless chicken defence.
Need to sort it before next Saturday.

Him and Eze, I'm getting the jitters already.

 

[Octavian]

Gotta break our Palace hoodoo!

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Mahrez
Grealish
Haaland

This for me too, give Gundogan a break and Grealish to come in for Foden.

Ake has been our best CB this year for me, but looks to be injured.

For the first time in ages I'm a bit worried about a game!
Be a tough un.

Palace and Southampton are the 2 home games I don’t look forward to every season.Always seems to be a struggle.

 

[David Silva #21]

Ederson
Cancelo Dias Stones Gomez
Rodrigo
KDB Gundogan
Mahrez Haaland Grealish

Foden needs a punishment, wasted 2 clear goals in recent 2 games.
I would like to see Gomez in line-up.

Nothing less than a win and 3 points after Sundays draw.

We'll know after this game how we are looking for the season. We coasted the first two but West Ham have shown they're well out of form so that win looks less impressive given that context. Newcastle gave us a tough game and in Eze, Zaha etc Palace have players who can take it to us in just the same manner. They'll look to play just as they did at Anfield and we'll need to manage that better. It was one hell of a workout against Newcastle so hopefully that has brought a bit more sharpness and the rest of the players will get some fitness in against Barcelona on Wednesday.

It's a long season and we often start sluggishly but 3pts here and it will have been an excellent start considering the relative fixtures last season. Palace had our number last season.

Paddy is gonna get bummed.

A draw is treated like a loss by our players and his boys will pay.

 

[Pelegrinni]

When is Laporte due back from his injury?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Maybe it`s for a good cause but the timing of it is insane.

Lets just play the kids. Fuck um
