Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 14:00 (BST). Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

We just have to try and get through this game having one eye Madrid.

Everton battered Brighton but Brighton still could have scored 4 or 5.

Arsenal play Brighton straight after us, so we could put pressure on them.

My rotated side:

-------------Ederson
Lewis---Dias---Laporte---Akanji
-----------Rodri---Bernardo
Mahrez-------Alvarez------Foden
--------------Haaland

That's Walker, Stones, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish rested. I'm not sure if we need more rested.

Or should we go strong and try to win it early?


Barcelona will probably win the league this weekend, Real Madrid play first but they'll probably rest everyone.

It would be nice to be able to rest Rodri and Kyle as well, but it would be a big risk.

Any team.
Any formation.
Any win.
Just win.

4/5 day rest now. Get the game won and then worry about Real.

Go strong - get it won - make the subs

Similar team to the Leeds game. But start KDB in place of Gundog who looked shattered.

Going to be a few tired players after tonight. I’m sure Foden, Mahrez, Laporte and Alvarez will start, and most likely Lewis and Ake if fit. Will be interesting to see who else starts. I’m guessing Rodri, Dias, Akanji and Haaland.

I’ll be amazed if Gundo isn’t still hobbling on Sunday given the repeated treatment he got this evening.

 

[hertsblue]

Anthony Taylor as ref so expect them to foul at will, time waste and any touch on them is a free kick

Ederson

Yep, sounds about right that.
