I'm hoping we can nick this 2-1.

I hope there are some changes for this one. If Aaronson is starting and Gnonto is on the bench, well we know the outcome.

Must win.

Doesn't matter how.

Genuinely think this could be won or lost by 3 goals.

Funny things happen in football.

Gracia said Cooper and Wober could be struggling for fitness - great!

I'm hoping we can nick this 2-1.

We're in a desperate state given the tardiness of the owners in getting rid of Rodgers.

At least Dean Smith is looking to score. I'm not sure going all out (3 strikers started on Saturday) is the way to go, but it's unlikely to be a boring 0-0, that's for sure.

This is going to be a great game. Smith is still feeling the players out and looking at what works and what doesn't, but after a season of playing one up front and failing miersably, Smith played Vardy, Iheneacho and Daka on Sat and we thre the kitchen sink at Wolves.

I didn't work and our midfield was more open than a three bob hooker on fish supper night, but Smith changed it around and we got the win.

Don't try and second guess who will play or how we will play, as we don't even know! But we'll be going for it from the off so prepare for an onslaught. If we score early, I fear for Leeds.

Saying that, we're just as likely to do something supid and concede early, in which case, I'd fear for us....!

No way round this, win or bust, it's that simple.

Hi Earl, all!

So … yes indeed … rose-tinted specs well and truly in place, and I’m going for 3-1. Paddy, Gnonto and captain Coops!

Oh and … C’monnn Leeeeeeeeeeedssss!!!

Let's have a game of who has the worst owners between both teams.
I'll go first

In pre- or post-match interviews, has anyone tackled Gracia on why he's not starting Gnonto?

This was the answer to not starting Gnonto after the Fulham game =

"When some of you ask me about the players that don't play is a bad signal for us because you always miss the players that don't play. Bad signal for us.”

Glad that was cleared up.

4-1

And no I aint taking meds.

Think we'll bury them. Would go with Robbles in goal and Gnonto with Jack and Sini with Rodrigo up top.

I can see it happening too.

Think we need to be more open and try to trade blows and see who comes out on top.

Being tentative again will give our players too much to think about and the crowd with me in it will be awful nervous wrecks

If neither of those play my positivity has just took a kicking. If we end up starting with Struijk & Koch in the middle again I think we know the outcome.

I hope McKennie and Aaronson are dropped for this one. Would rather have Forshaw in midfield

Robles

Ayling Koch cooper wober

Forshaw Roca

Summerville Gnonto Sinisterra

Bamford

I see Robles being mentioned a couple of times, he's played 5 times in the last 2 seasons...is he any good!

Ah, a reply straight from the Book of Bielsa!

It’s not often I post predictions on match threads, however, if City play as well as they did on Saturday I would expect them to win 2-1, possibly 3-1.
