This is essentially a dead rubber now.

I think we'll put in a good performance with no pressure.

That's my thinking as well. Wouldn't be surprised if we pull off a win.

If Liverpool lose tomorrow we still have a very realistic chance of finishing in the top 4 provided we beat a Spurs side lacking motivation after having lost the title.

We need to go for this with a full-strength side. If this weekend doesn't work out well for us, then we can rest players in the last two games.

I agree with this. I don't know how late Jose can decide on his team, but if it's back in our hands we'd be mad to write it off surely?

Not 72 hours after a tough semi final though.

We won't finish in the top 4.

Even then, finishing in the top 4 only gets us into the qualifying stages. Winning the Europa league gets us into the group stage.

We have to give ourselves the best possible opportunity of doing that. We are already injury ravaged as is.

Don't see it like that yet, anyway most of the team you disagreed with consisted of players that didn't play on Thursday, in fact only Darmian, Bailly, Pogba, and Herrera did, Bailly might as well play, Pogba should be rested until the mid week game I agree, Herrera I suppose could use a rest too but that would be risky resting them both in the same game, and Darmian is just about the only option we have at LB, unless we put Jones in there, which would mean playing four CB's in defence, so the options are limited.

Smalling, Mata, and Martial could do with the game time, so I think it looks about right.

We have two chances still to get in the CL, so we might as well give it a go.

Why did we start becoming so bitter towards Spurs?

They aren't even rivals per se.

Their fans are the most obnoxious bunch. Amazing how a fan base can be so up their own Arse after literally winning nothing

There is no point risking either Herrera or Darmian. It's not a risk to rest both Pogba or Herrera because this is not a game that will define our season. No matter the outcome.

This is not a must win game. Jose himself has said that our focus is entirely on the Europa league. Our team selection even last week confirms that this is already the thinking. No need to risk pointless injuries.

Give the kids a run out if need be.it will be a good experience for them.

I'd favour a strong line up tomorrow if results go our way and we can sneak back into the top 4 race. We can still play a weaker team in next weeks' fixtures and have a chance at winning them, but it will probably take our best team to get 3 points from Spurs. If Liverpool don't drop points, then it's game over really so chuck the kids out there.

I know it's the last game at WHL but this is more important to the fans, less so for the players. The Spurs players didn't turn up in their final 2 easy looking fixtures last season, even though the consolation prize of finishing ahead of Arsenal was still massive in the eyes of their supporters.

Thugmann · May 13, 2017

I don't care what happens here. I wouldn't care if mourinho fielded a full youth squad. It's all about the europa final now which ever way you look at it.

Crimson King · May 13, 2017

Doubt Pogba will play after his dad passed away.

togg · May 13, 2017

I'm hoping both managers give their kids a chance. Would make for a very interesting game.

Agreed and quite right to. Also, if hes injured before the final, that would be disastrous now that Bailly is out.

jderbyshire · May 13, 2017

Think we could go with the 5-4-1 again.

De Gea
Tuanzebe Bailly Smalling Jones Darmian
Mata Carrick Herrera Rooney
Martial

Prediction: 0-0

I know, they say there are youngsters but don't say who.

This was expected.

No Pogba at Spurs
If you’ve seen the reports online it’s easy to know why.

When does one add a youngster to the prediction squad? When they're confirmed as being with the others at the hotel? Why isn't Mitchell already there? I think there's a good chance he could play Sunday.

So, Mitchell is confirmed with the squad, shouldn't someone add him to the list? I want to have the chance to pick him.

Android1974 · May 13, 2017

Valencia and Pogba out. Although, in another kind of game, perhaps Pogba could return later to play the game directly…

I would say Bailly is 100% to play.

Can anyone with permission please add McTominay, Mitchell and Olosunde to the prediction list? McTominay has a decent chance to get some minutes.
