Swansea (a) League Cup - pre-match thread

[Silva_Spell]

Maybe start Kompany incase he breaks down.

 

[Rammy Blue]

The midfield 3 are the only ones who need "protecting".

Sane, Navas and Kelechi front 3.

Garcia and Yaya as 2 of the 3 in the middle.

Vince starts at back with plenty of cover on bench.

Other than that doesn't really matter.

I hope Fernando is fit I think I he deserves more minutes after his cameos recently.

Caballero

Zabaleta - Kompany - Stones - Clichy

Fernando

Yaya - Garcia

Sane - Iheanacho - Navas
​

Adarabioyo and Angelino to get some minutes from the bench.

Caballero
Zabaleta Kompany Stones Clichy

Possible return for yaya maybe?

Hopefully not. Caballero has had 3 league games and a CL game already this season, Gunn should play. A couple of good performances in this competition could sort him out with a productive loan move, we're not going to find him anywhere decent to give him game time if all he's playing is every second game in 'PL2'.

Good point about gunn but it is fairly difficult to keep a second goalkeeper happy if you won't start him in cup competitions

I'd say he'd be fine if you told him he was still first back up to Bravo and would play in both domestic cups (progress permitting) after Christmas. Gunn needs gametime and he's looked more than ready pre-season, I'd prioritise him over Caballero as he might be a useful asset to the club in 3-4 years.
