    We beat Burnley away with Fred & Matic pair last season and Fred is different to Kante. Either way, I'm stating what I believe Ole is going to play not what I want us to play.

    Oh yeah I agree with you, I just meant I don't want to see Fred losing races near the end of the first half against Liverpool because we played him 90 against Burnley
     
    I predict:

    .............. De Gea

    Bissaka - Lindelöf - Maguire - Shaw

    .......... Fred - Matic

    ........... Fernandes

    Rashford - Cavani - Martial
     
    De Gea
    AWB Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
    Rashford Pogba Matic Martial
    Bruno
    Cavani
     
    I dont know what to think of this game. On paper we should win, but the thought of going top, which will be in the players minds, could have a nervous negative effect. I dont know (if we win) will also play into Oles mind and he goes for the draw against Liverpool, like the City game. Might have been better having the weeks rest and having to go to Anfield for the win. I think tomorrow could be a narrow 1-0 win, but to who?

    Not to disrespect or underestimate the opponent, but we should be able to play with Telles and any CB together w Maguire, and still win this. If in doubt, better save injured players for a Liverpool and play Tuanzebe plus Maguire and Telles.

    I'm saying the Burnley game is first and Lindelof is a better fit for Liverpool anyways so starting him against Burnley seems counter-intuitive.

    exactly. Except our Brady, Burley has almost “no pace”! Well, they go long balls so much, it makes their transition fast.
     
    I can't stand them. I know it's a tricky fixture for us, not least with their physical play, but if we score more than one goal we should be collecting 3 points. They've amassed 9 goals in the league this season.

    Don't think this is a game for Pogba, regardless of position.

    Would also prefer to see Henderson as his bravery is useful against their aerial bombardment.

    ------------------------Henderson
    AWB-----Tuanzebe------Maguire-----Shaw
    ----------McTominay--------Fred
    Rashford-------------Bruno--------------Martial
    ---------------------------Cavani

    Where's the idea of Pogba at LW coming from?

    because Ole twice deployed the diamond midfield in Vila and man city games with pogba on left. I think it compromised more than gain for the team. Hope we don’t do it again.
    maybe we can try put pogba on right among a front three.Just let Rashford do the work on left, please.
    Rashford-Martial-Pogba
    Bruno
    McFred
    LB-LC-RC-RB
     
    Deciding what team we will play tonight starts with working out what team we will play against Liverpool.
    There are 1 or 2 options in defence, midfield and attack.
    Definites for both games:
    DDG, AWB , Maguire, Fred,Fernandes , Rashford
    That's a solid core.... 5 others from our squad .
     
    Looks like Burnley will have all their players back including Pope who’s going to get 8/9 out of 10

    I think Pope will be back but I doubt all of McNeil, Rodriguez, Taylor, Brownhill and Westwood will be unless Dyche rushes them back with the sole goal of shithousing us

    He played as a LM then?

    Yes, but in some sense, a hybrid of LM and LW in that setup. When Bruno moved to the left to support, he operated as a LW. During transitioning to defense, he tracked back as LM. I guess that’s why some saying LW.

    Aha, thanks, makes sense.

    I think we should go with a classic 4-3-3, FredmcT and Bruno in midfield, Rashford, Cavani and Greenwood upfront.
     
    No team has conceded less home goals this season than Burnley.

    This isn’t going to be a fun watch.
     
    What’s the weather forecast for tonight? Stockport had a deluge last night. Anything similar will not do us any favours
     
    Think it'll be

    AWB, Maguire, Bailly, Shaw, Rashford, Matic, Pogba, Martial, Fernandes, Cavani
     
    Morning reds. Is today the last day we're below 1st for the rest of the season? Or is it the last day we discuss a title race? Or somewhere in between?

    Intriguing season, great fun punching slightly above our weight, I've never wanted to win our next two games as much as I do now.

    The players are well rested, in good form, I'm looking forward to tonight!

    No keeper, I like your confidence :smirk:

    I agree with the line-up though, if we can get Bailly, Shaw and Pogba match fit in time. I suspect all three wont win their fitness battles in time.
     
    Fairly typical that we play then just as they've settled into improved form - they started the season even worse than us, which isn't easy!!

    I guess if we play well, we'll get win but this feels like it is one of those games where we forget to turn up. You can guess the line up butI'd love to see Cavani up front instead of martial who simply won't trouble their CBs in the same way.

    We really like to see Pellestri or diallo on the bench to give us something new and something Burnley won't know anything about, but it won't happen

    Burney don't concede many goals. Should be a tight game.

    I'd like to see Diallo too, but if he is not ready then, although they might not know anything about him, he could still be ineffective at this stage. Depends how does in training, assuming he has had a few sessions!
     
    Is Pogba out tonight?
     
    Looking forward to this alot for some strange reason.
     
    Play the strongest team possible no players "saved" for the Liverpool game. We could end up with an egg on our face and lose both fixtures.

    There's no way Diallo will feature in this game, in fact, I doubt he will even feature at all this season in the first team!
     
    Is it right that if Maguire gets booked tonight then he misses Liverpool?
     
    It's so obvious we'll bottle this but I guess worse case scenario is we lose/draw today and then lose to Liverpool we'd still only be 2/3 points off of them which is still a position we'd all of taken at the start of the season
     
    It's always the same: can we perform when it really matters? In the past, we couldn't.
