Lucas, Tanganga, Bentancur and Skipp are all out. Not ideal that 2 of our 4 CMs aren't fit so Winks and PEH will be starting no matter what.

Best to go strong as possible and try to kill the game by 70 mins then make changes.

We don't play Everton til Monday night so have almost an entire week to recover.

Go full strength. We don't play again until next Monday so plenty of recovery time. They stuck it to Utd at Old Trafford and have won 5 on the bounce at home.

Shame we don’t still have Vinicius for games like this as he would have been ideal to play and give Kane a rest.

Go strong, this is a good Boro side who don't concede many. To be fair they don't score many either but we have an outside chance of a trophy here so lets give it a go.

Did Conte talk about having to try Kulusevski and Bergwijn as wing backs pre Leeds?

I haven't been able to keep up-to-date the last week, but if he was thinking of trying them, then this would be the game.

It was in response to the changes he made in the Burnley game when we needed to score and he decided to add more attacking options to try and turn the game in our favor. I don't think he has plans to move to that setup full-time.
