Leeds United (H) - Sat 6th May, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

What time do the players come off the bus into to the ground?

Arsenal dropping points today would be nice.

Better if they drop them tomorrow though.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Ortega
Lewis Akanji Dias Ake
Gundo Phillips
Mahrez Alvarez Foden
Haaland

I think it will be something like this. Ederson, Walker, Stones, Rodri, Bernardo, Grealish and De Bruyne all fresh for Real. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Rodri for Phillips still, I just think Pep hasn’t got the confidence to go without Rodri for big games like these.

Better if they drop them tomorrow though.

I'm hoping both days.

 

[Mayor West]

I'm expecting nothing short of a 5/6-0 win today, team dependent of course.

There have been rumours that Lewis will start today, which would presumably mean no Walker or Stones. There have also been calls to rest the likes of Haaland, Rodri and Dias. While all of these players are deserving of a rest, making such changes would probably leave us a bit lacking in height and unless Allardyce has changed his football philosophy, I'd expect that the main danger from Leeds will come from set pieces.

Making too many changes to the starting like-up could be a mistake. Leeds aren't great but we still can't take them too lightly. If we use our substitutes wisely, there's no reason why we can't go strong and yet still give key players a bit of rest.

It was my lads first home game in 2023 on Wednesday, his partner had a baby in February, works & lives down south as well & added to work patterns he's been 'banging his head against the walls ' having to miss games. He's managed a couple of aways & the semi but, he was over the Bluemoon to get back home against West Ham.

Brilliant, I bet he had the time of his life. I know how excited I am feeling even now and I am here in Eccles not far away.
I hope he gets back again soon. :-)

The Princess of Darkness and I are so glad you feel fit enough to go Sheila. Give the blues and extra shout for me please.

Will do I'll do it for both of you. :-) Sorry you're not up to it yet. Take care. xx
