Can, Ox and Lallana are massive losses.

Hendo, Wiji and Milner ran their hearts out last night but I can't see us playing anyone but then unless he drops in Woodburn maybe

I would go with -

Karius

Clyne VVD Lovren Klavan

Woodburn Wijnaldum Milner

Ings Solankie Mane

Now would be a good time to have Grujic back.

I guess Williams will come in, I'd imagine Milner and Henderson will play, pehaps sub one off.

Salah will play, I'd also play Mane and rest Firmino.

Our squad is so thin at the moment.

May go 3 at the back?

Karius
Klavan Lovren VVD
Gomez Henderson Milner Robertson
Salah Ings Mane

No idea to be honest.

I'd be interested to see Moreno in that position - but doubt it'll ever happen.

Basically a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-1-2 and not risk 2 of our 3 remaining fit CM's. Bring Ings and Solanke after an hour (gulp)

Moreno at wing back may work but I would rather play Klavan in a back 4 as left back

some interesting ideas there , I do wonder if we use Moreno in a different position as he has talent , just not as a defender !

At the risk of hubris, we should have enough to beat Stoke regardless. They're dreadful.

guess my concern is for our front 6 the only alternatives we have are ings and solanke and poss Trent and Moreno , cant risk playing more than 2 of them if we want to win and that means 4 of our main players are risked .

Another early kick off, our results in them have been pretty poor this season.

drew 3-3 watford opening week, lost 5-0 to city, 0-0 utd and 2-1 utd 1-1 and 0-0 everton, 2-2 west brom and scraped a 1-2 win vs palace.

Play strong team. Probably rest Mane, Milner and Hendo.
