Dier missed out at Barca are dropped from the 18 today. Thats worrying
If it was because of a falling out, I doubt he'd have been in the 18 against Barca. Most likely he just didn't make the XI in the week, and has now picked up an injury.

That lineup is very strange and tbh makes this gsme MUCH more difficult. Davied defending those burnley set pieces? A cm2 or skipp and sissoko. Pleased we have more attacking fb's today but my my it will be a grind out there.

Hurry up and get fully fit Sanchez. Feel like we’re destined to never see a run of games with Toby and Jan ever again. Dier needs to get over his virus for Wednesday.

No choice in the matter, Toby is literally our only available senior CB. The alternative was TJ Ebola.

Edit: Eyoma not Ebola ffs

Hope dier is fit by weds.

Verts had a shocker at the shamirates the other week, but rather him play against PEA than davies at cb.

Anyone know how long juan and sanchez are out for?

Couple that with the stylings of Kieran Trippier at RB. Scary stuff

I think these are the sort of games where Trippier is his most useful to be honest, they sit deep and the passing he brings when we dominate possession for example in the world cup and usually against Watford. I think he will get an assist or two today. I just hope defensively he's a bit mentally refreshed and focused.

What has happened to Dier? He was fit enough to be a sub at Barca He even did a ‘warm down’ on field after the game
But not even on bench today and a makeshift CB playing and a novice CB on bench
Dier either got injured in training yesterday or had a fight with Poch
I have to believe the former
Selection suggests Jan is also a fitness concern
Hope Foyth and Sanchez back soon
Very worrying for Xmas games and for Carabao
