Huddersfield (H) Pre Match Thread

Identical team to Sunday except for Sane for Mahrez maybe.

Mahrez imo will be key in breaking through Huddersfield's bus.

It will be interesting to see how the opposition try and stop the overlapping fullbacks / cutting in wingers.

BENCH: BRAVO, OTAMENDI, KOMPANY, FODEN, SILVA, SANE, G.JESUS

Could see something like this to combat the 5-4-1 Pep has talked about

• 2 DMs in Gundogan and Fernandinho to get free of the opposition ST sitting on the sole DM and to pull the 2 oppo CMs out
• That together with Laporte and Walker as wide CBs, with the job of drawing out the RM/LM, should free up some space for Bernardo and Mahrez to attack the RCB/LCB and create a 5v5 in the box/final 3rd

With Mendy starting, it could change at will to the same shape as against Arsenal

Hope we thump them, just to see the realisation on the faces of fans of other teams when they see how good we are, even without De Bruyne.

Totally agree with this. Huddersfield are going to struggle especially with Mendy back in the team. I know we were great last season without him, but he just adds to whole different problem for the opposition with his style. Was really pleased to see Foden play and if we can secure the game early on then hopefully Foden & Diaz can come on for a spell and show their ability as well again.

Looking forward to the weekend lets get the 3 points in the bag.

Tempo and concentration. If we are fast and smart we will cruise
