Him warming up today was a good sign that he'll be playing sooner than later. I'd like to see him come on 2nd half against Huddersfield for 15-20 minutes because we have to drip feed him minutes before he gets up to full match fitness, cant be rushing things and aggregating his recent injury. If he gets on the pitch i think Hudders players will be to knackered and demoralised to try and tackle our Kev. Really looking forward to seeing him in action again because we need him back to full fitness alongside Haaland Doku and Stones.

Harks back to a previous 3rd round FA cup match against Burnley, I think, when he came on a 75th min substitute following a lengthy layoff. Won 4-1 after being 1-0 down at half time.
Good omens I hope.

I think Pep will go strong for this. Over a week off in advance and a lighter January ahead. Hopefully can get a decent lead and make changes second half (inc Kev!)
 
Someone’s due a hammering I hope we don’t use this game to get it out of our system be quite content with just getting through and no injuries. Battering barcodes is on … and Brentford at home is overdue

As much rotation as possible. Phillips farewell appearance perhaps? We shouldn't be letting him go before we've got a replacement lined up, I suspect that won't happen though so he may be gone already. Won't be the same intensity in this game as you'll see in thr league so if less ready 45 minutes maybe upto an hour here would be a nice reintroduction. If it's too early for him fine, no rush.

I hear what you're saying about getting a replacement for Phillips before we sell him, but I'd sell him anyway. It just doesn't feel right not playing him. It's felt like cruelty at times. I know he's paid a fortune but it's a short career and the bloke has been left to rot on the bench.
