    I think it will be the same lineup as PSG. Except Maguire replaces Tuanzebe and James for Martial.
     
    I would play Maguire. I can see Tammy or Giroud getting involved for long balls and crosses and Harry is the man for them.
    Plus Chelsea cant defend corners, get Maguire and Telles up there
     
    Why are people putting Cavani in their line-ups? Surely there is about zero per cent chance of him starting?
     
    Line up predictions normally close this early?
     
    Tuanzebe didn't play for a year and started. So wouldn't say zero per cent.

    I guess but Cavani didn't even have a club for like 3/4 months and we had an injury crisis in defence

    and we've got Greenwood ready to come in for Martial
     
    Is it normal to be nervous waiting for a starting 11 to be confirmed ? I dread to see James start and Axel dropped but gut feeling is both will happen.
     
    Nervous today because the team has given us hope in the last two games, so feels like we have been set up for a let down :(

    Why zero percent? Not massively likely sure but Ole basically said he's ready to play.
     
    James starting would be bizarre and leave Mason, Pogba and Van de Beek all on the bench, his pace on the counter is usually worthless as he's got no end product.

    That makes no sense. Both Lindelöf and Maguire need a partner like Tuanzebe, not each other. That has been a problem since Maguire's arrival basically. If Maguire starts in a 5-man defence today, I think it'll be in place of Lindelöf.
     
    James starting would be bizarre and leave Mason, Pogba and Van de Beek all on the bench, his pace on the counter is usually worthless as he's got no end product.

    I don’t rate James, but sometimes the threat of pace can cause the opponent to press less high up the pitch for fear of what could happen in behind.

    after so long without a match, his age, and coming to a new league it just seems impossible

    though yes highly unlikely is more accurate

    Agree with this. And add Zouma as another aerial threat at set pieces.
     
    Its a shame Cavani wasn't confident enough in himself or the team to go to Paris. Sounds like it was his own decision not to be involved.

    Probably thought we we're going to get popped and didn't want to be embarrassed.... his loss.
     
    You can’t tell which United team will show up. Both team are very unpredictable. I feel more confident in a win because Chelsea defense is so poor. They won’t be able to deal with our counter. However, that us if we show up and we get many set pieces including penalties.
     
    Hopefully we deal with their attacking threat but manage to exploit Lampards shite defensive organisation.

    You didn't jump to enough conclusions in that post, disappointing.

    Erm, what?

    where did you pull this one from? :lol:

    The thing is if they have done their homework they'll know they can give James space as he doesn't do anything with it, he's yet to develop any football nous. I just think we have to trust in the better players we have to run the game and not be thinking about the counter as plan A.

    Nah, I don’t think they can be blasé about James if he plays. He’s hit and more often miss but if you let him have acres of space to run into then it can damage you. Not to mention the likes of Rashford could also exploit it.
