Looks like your taking a reduced squad? Maybe looking at the Ipswich game at the weekend, you've won your first three euro games have you not so this is one that perhaps you can rest players for

There's a kid in this squad called Dante Cassanova.
What position does he play?

No idea Ted.

Great name though!

Indeed Piffle, were 1 point off guaranteed qualification with 5 games to go. They expect 8th place to be achieved with 16 points, so we’re 2 wins and a draw from 5 games away from doing that also. I think Ange is prepared to let this one go a little bit.

Having said that, we could still name the following side based on who he has taken:

Vicario
Gray Dragusin Davies Youth player
Sarr Bissouma Maddison
Youth player Solanke Son

Strike and looking at that possible starting 11 I'd feel thats more than enough to win it, could be a decent game and I'm looking forward to a night of football and a few drinks having Friday off

Sounds good, nice long weekend with plenty of football - enjoy

A point or a narrow defeat tonight, Some experience/ game-time for young/squad players, no injuries followed by 3 points on Sunday would do very nicely.

A win tonight would be an amazing result but no panic if it doesnt go our way

It’s great for us to play game with nothing riding on it, a free hit.

We can all relax and enjoy without any panic or annoyance etc.

This needs its own article but I can't be bothered, someone else feel free to make one, but some of Lloris's autobiography has been published:

Some really interesting stuff in here

Plays centre back has played right back a fair bit and can play defensive midfield.

Is a Jaimaican international and is our most experienced youth team player.

Has always been a steady eddy never outstanding a bit like Ben Davies and that is no bad thing. Dorrington comfortably better however.

It is undeniably low stakes tonight

Sunday is a big one, we simply must win

Another ex player confirms levy’s loser mentality

Not sure why so many fans aren’t bothered about this game. The sooner we get the required points to qualify top eight the better. We will want to rest players in January when the fixtures mount up

Difficulty of opposition comes into it as well though - our games in Jan are against relegation threatened Hoffenheim and an Elfsborg side who will be also bang in the middle of their seasons break - there is an expectation we will win those games with a weakened side. Galatasaray meanwhile are top of the league and unbeaten all season.

With this being our only game outside of London between the international breaks, plus the fact we won our opening 3, I think this is the one where we take the foot off the gas a little bit.

Win on Sunday and we could be 3rd - which takes all the pressure off of Ange when just 5 weeks ago he was under the kosh

Pretty happy with that line up but I'd prefer to see Vic in goal.

Yeah I hope Son doesn’t play long enough to be unfit again for our next game
