Kai & Zouma out injured

Reasoning for selecting that lineup is self-explanatory.

I also would be interested to see RJ RWB and CHO LWB

No Kante... surely if he's fit he'll play?

Kante hasn't played in our last 6 matches due to suspension and subsequent hamstring injury, might be well-advised utilising as a impact sub for this one.

I'm in two minds about whether to start him or sub.

I would hope that we start Kante,and also Rudi, who seems to be getting his mojo back !

Can’t imagine Christensen would start ahead of Rudiger.

Not a fan of Reece as a wingback tho. I think he would be much more threatening from RCB. Would have the opportunity then to cross it like Azpi does or test some shots at goal.

I kinda wanna see Azpi (LCB) & James (RCB). Need to be vs. a team with no aerial threat cos they'll get done defending crosses, but the spamming of crosses the other way would be ridiculous + would give an option to overlap with the WB's Sheff Utd style which James/CHO on the right side would especially enjoy I reckon.

Would need a VERY defensive pivot mind (Kante + Jorg) but could be interesting, in a mad scientist type of way
