West Ham (A) - Sun 15th May, 14:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

I don't know, people might hate me for it, but Foden hasn't been setting the world on fire recently. That's normal, all players have warmer and colder streaks, but Grealish has looked more dangerous and confident than ever in his substitute appearances the last three games. I think Grealish also offers better ball-retention and possession control, and with our defensive injury woes, that might be something Pep places a premium on: defend with the ball, and all.

You're probably right that Foden will still be preferred, but I wouldn't be surprised if Grealish got the nod.

Foden was superb against Wolves, pure silk linking with Kev and Bernardo. Pep knows who to trust the most. Foden will play as there is a goal in him and if he goes with the midfield 3 again of gundo, Rodri & Bernardo he will play Sterling or Jesus. Just my opinion and how I read Pep

Antonio can either be decent or a fucking donkey. Anyway if we play the same way we did at wolves, keep possession, keep moving the ball around and wear them down. When they do have the ball get straight into them, hunt them down, and we'll be just fine

People mentioning they knocked us out of the Cup

Pep will not let Academy player play in the most important moment of season where every minutes is high pressure and stakes games. The kids isn't mentally ready yet for this kind of thing.

So i expect Rodri will be put as CB and Gundogan as CDM, no matter how much fans doesn't like the idea. Pep already done this kind of thing before and he do it again no matter anyone thinks.
