Given Casemiro is at the FIFA awards right now, I don’t think he will play on Wednesday.
Anyone on risk of suspension if they get a yellow?Not sure if there will be that many changes in defence. More like Malacia-Martinez-Maguire-Dalot I'd say + a midfield with Casemiro in it. Then ideally if we're winning we can rest Casemiro and Martinez after 60 minutes or so.
We can. We must. Rashford and Bruno better not start this damn game. And the defence can easily be rotated. Sabitzer in for Fred.If we could only rest a few players
Keeping him fresh for LiverpoolI’m guessing Casemiro is being rested if he’s in Paris tonight?
Fred could do with a break too. Would not be surprised if it’s McTominay & SabitzerKeeping him fresh for Liverpool
Sabitzer and Fred should be more than enough. I know Rice is a very good player but i think our squad depth is enough to take on West Ham and rest a few.
With McTominay now fit, think he plays as the holding player when Casemiro is not playing - while he is not great at it is more suited to it than either Sabitzer and Fred and it will allow for whomever partners with him to be play their more suited role in ETH current system. We saw when Fred/Sabitzer were deployed, we did okay but, it was dysfunctional.Keeping him fresh for Liverpool

If you could get 60mins out of martial instead of WW that'd be the way to go imo.-----------------------------de Gea

Most likely at least one of them will start if not bothWe can. We must. Rashford and Bruno better not start this damn game. And the defence can easily be rotated. Sabitzer in for Fred.
And it's about time for Martial's monthly 20 minute cameo in between hospital visits.
Yeah being in France all the way from England 48h before the match is not ideal. Even if he somehow makes it back in time for kick off I don’t see how he’ll overcome the jet lag and fatigue.I’m guessing Casemiro is being rested if he’s in Paris tonight?
He injured himself lifting the League Cup trophy and now he's in a full body cast.Where’s martial ffs! Is he ever going to show up??
Not saying jet lag but they flew straight home after the final yesterday to prepare themselves for the West Ham game and did the same after the game away to Barca.Yeah being in France all the way from England 48h before the match is not ideal.

Casemiro most likely did the recovery session yesterday with the rest of the lads who played on Sunday and then flew to Paris. It is of course a possibility that he doesn’t start tomorrow but not because he was at the awards.Not saying jet lag but they flew straight home after the final yesterday to prepare themselves for the West Ham game and did the same after the game away to Barca.
I can’t see how that’s so important, if that’s optimal only to have Casemiro jet off to Paris and back within a three day window between two games.
Not a chance there will be that many changes. This manager is a winner. He wants to go for everything.DDGThat team should be good enough to beat a struggling West Ham at home.
Dalot - Maguire - Lindelof - Malacia
McTominay - Sabitzer
Antony - Sancho - Garnacho
Weghorst
Casemiro, Bruno, Rashford on the bench if needed.
Surprised he didnt trip up the steps - the boys had no luck this year, but he's made of glass FFS!He injured himself lifting the League Cup trophy and now he's in a full body cast.
What? It's not a much further flight than if we were playing in London! Possibly about half a hour.Yeah being in France all the way from England 48h before the match is not ideal. Even if he somehow makes it back in time for kick off I don’t see how he’ll overcome the jet lag and fatigue.
Pretty much this, although I would like to see Garnacho start. Bruno and Rashford, a few others shouldn't be anywhere near this game. We have a massive game at the weekend.-----------------------------de Gea

I don't think he'd throw Tony in for 60 minutes given the long layoff but he could maybe get 30-40 minutes if he's in full training by now. Last I knew he was training solo.If you could get 60mins out of martial instead of WW that'd be the way to go imo.
Congrats mate. Have a good one.I'm going to this game and it's my first trip to OT.
Do people have any tips on making the most of the experience?
Which pubs are best before or after?
Just read this. So it will be Areola in between the sticks. I think Coufal was already behind Emerson for that RB spot but considering they are in relegation slog, Moyes would have liked to rotate his squad to keep them fresh for their Brighton game and then the Conference League which looks like a good chance for them to get trophy.So Fabiański is out with a fractured cheekbone he suffered against Forest, Coufal out with a heel injury and Ings is cup-tied. Scamacca was out for three games with a knee injury but he was an unused sub for the Spurs & Forest games. I kind of hope (and think) that Antonio starts, Scamacca in my opinion has more to his game.
