Forster

Romero Lenglet Davies

Doherty Skipp Bissouma Sessengnon

Gil Kane Son

Spence to get 30mins. Sanchez to come on if/when game is ‘safe’ to rest Romero. If there was a viable alternative I’d rest Kane and Son but there isn’t so I won’t. Need to rest the 2
CMs especially Bentancur
Romero isn’t fit

Lenglet is probably the best option for ccb but who knows?

I think Sanchez can play CCB but then we can't rest Romero who's said to be carrying a knock. Whatever, if Sanchez plays, we need to cut out the short play from Lloris and get the thing away quicker, and I'd prefer 3 in CM in that case so we have a better chance if picking up loose balls.

Looks like conte is preparing us for Sanchez to start
He would be much less of a liability if we didn't play in a way that forces to have so much of the ball! His best attribute is his pace, him losing the ball 70 yards from our goal gives him the space to recover. Him losing it piss arsing about in the right side of our defense is just asking for trouble.

Just popping my head in to see the meltdown. Never fails to disappoint, SC!

Not sure what people were expecting to see with the injuries we have, but that 11 should have enough about them to win matches in this division against lesser teams. I don’t have an issue with it although I would’ve preferred Spence over Royal but that was never going to happen.

Great to see rotation, which has long been needed. Hopefully this team can get the job done and ensure more trust in the overall squad

It's all a matter of 3-5-2 vs 3-4-3 I guess... with Conte picking the 3-5-2 it's pretty much nailed on with Dier and Bentancur needing a break... and the injuries to Romero, Kulu, Richie... with 3-4-3 it could have been a bit more exciting up front... let's see how the game unfolds. 3-5-2 was okay at Brighton. Bissouma, Skipp and the WB's need to step up in this match... COYS

Some early team news....

Nothing certain yet, got a few issues, Hojbjerg and Romero played with injuries, so will be a late call on them tomorrow......but...

Dier will be rested for Sanchez..is definite.
