Dele may come back into the frame for our FA Cup fifth round tie at Everton on Wednesday evening (8.15pm).

Serge Aurier is a doubt for Goodison, Gio Lo Celso, no chance. Sergio Reguilon, no chance.

Hope it's Tanganga for RB spot then, or even Sissoko. Doherty vs Richarlison is not a good matchup, we got punished for it once already.

Chuck Doherty further up the pitch with Davies playing further back, that is follow the rationale behind getting Doherty in the first place?

I don't think there was much thinking about the fit. He was relatively cheap, HG and had good stats. He works best when he goes inside making the room for bombarding winger (we don't have anyone super fast like Traore on right side, maybe fully fit Bale?). Lamela or Bergwijn don't help our lack of pace in wide areas that much, maybe Lucas on a good day. In any case he would still have to show up on the defensive side of the pitch and he can't be trusted with that at the moment. Doesn't help that our defenders are prone to mistakes and if they have to cover for him on top of that it could be problematic.

Both teams will make one or fwo changes I guess. Lets hope ours make more if an impact than theirs. For me I want to win both games this and City so play our strongest team in both (lets go for it). So do we go for glory or rest up players for City. Which game should take priority if any.

Furthermore Wolves have 3 solid centre backs, including the rapid Boly at right CB to cover him when he goes forward. We have no pace at the back. He's been poor, but we're hardly helping.
