Fulham (H) - Sat 5th Oct, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Buckshaw Blue]

Gundogan has retired, not heard the same about Kovacic so assume he will still play for Croatia

I’m amazed KDB & Kyle haven’t retired also.

De Bruyne, particularly, is a surprise as he seems pretty frustrated with his national team. Had hoped he would retire after the Euros.

kova will definitely play.

Fulham currently sit just three points behind us and not conceding many. However they have had a fairly easy start although they beat the bar codes 3-1.
Still fancy us at home but the Match thread snowflakes may have to be patient.

I expect it might be Kyle on the right to deal with Robinson, Stones stepping into CM next to Kova.

Did Pep say anything about Ederson being rested on Tuesday? We're not expecting Ortega for this one are we?

Nah, just the level of opposition. Cup games and dead rubbers = Ortega.

Just got an inkling we might see something a little bit different here that sees pep sticks walker at left back to deal with adama traore's speed and Rico stays right back either that or akanji plays left back, josko pushing up and them countering down that space with traore is something that needs containing.

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
 walker
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Savinho
Doku
Haaland
