    Hope we see some rotation here. Keep everyone fresh. We have a big game Sunday.

    We also have a big game tonight, so hope to see our key players on the pitch helping us to an important win, rather than keeping them 'fresh' for a match that's no more important than tonight's.

    Hardly a big game. We should easily beat them with our second team like similar line up to Barnsley. You’ll be the first one to start whinging if we pick up a few injuries tonight because we risked players.

    Me to mate. And I’m sure whichever team we put out we will score some goals. I just think rotation is quite important with the fixture pile up. Especially with our squad as we get injuries easy. I think they’ll be changes but still a strong squad.
     
    Onana
    Mazraoui De Ligt Maguire Dalot
    Ugarte Casemiro
    Zirkzee
    Garnacho Hojlund Rashford​


    Amad, Martinez, Bruno, Amass off bench.
     
    This is our best route to the Champions League, given no one drops down from that into the Europa anymore. Needs to be so much better than last year and that means winning all home games for starters
     
    I reckon Eriksen has a good game with Ugarte besides him.
     
    Eriksen-Ugarte is a midfield pairing I've wanted to see since the Southampton game. Not a great pairing in terms of progressive carries, to put it lightly, but Eriksen's expansive passing is something no one else has in the squad, and Ugarte is probably the best possible midfield partner for him in the squad.

    If it works out, this duo could become a cheap in-house solution to manage Mainoo's minutes and to avoid overplaying him, after not signing a CM in the summer.

    Prediction: Amad and Hojlund to score
     
    Thought we might see a more rotated side but if we can hit the ground running a get a big win then we can hopefully avoid the playoff round and rotate a bit later in the group stage.

    Got to win though.
     
    Safe to say he's fully intent on hurting his local team. Hope Bruno pulls his finger out his ass and starts to perform. Also not sure on Eriksen starting his 4th game in a row. He did get substituted early against Palace but looks like we are relying on him a bit too much.

    He played 75 mins which isn’t really being subbed off early. Played similar amount of mins in his first appearance of the season against Southampton. He was shattered by when he came off against Palace which is understandable after playing the full 90 against Barnsley in midweek.

    If he’s capable of playing about 70-75 mins again which he’s done and performed well than the likes of Bruno then I ain’t gonna argue with that.
     
    Strong team which is good. We need to secure playoffs spot as quickly as possible.
     
    Anybody know where to watch in Ireland? Can't see it on any of the terrestrial channels :confused: don't tell me they lost the Europa rights...
     
    Ugarte be Amad with Dalot of them if we don't win with that line up.
     
    ETH realising how important Eriksen is in helping us control games.

    He's going to run him into the ground it seems though, surely using him more sparingly is the more sensible approach considering his declining legs.

    Agreed. This will be sending a message to the board though. Sign him a younger version of Eriksen and we’ll be flying.
