overkill
Player Valuation: £20m
Assuming we go 4-3-3 (he could go 4-4-2 if James is on the bench or given night off.)
Pickford - Don't see the point in messing with changing the keeper when don't have a number 2 who can challenge him
Digne - onf our best players, used to playing in a lot of games in England he can cope
Branthwaite - Think his size and strength will help him against this kind of opposition, good opportunity to give him a game
Keane - Went with Keane over Mina because Keane is less injury prone
Kenny - should be desperate to prove he can challenge for a place, obviously a good player and should still be levels ahead of Salford.
Dacoure - could be a physcial game, so starting a strongest midfielder makes sense, maybe look to take him early if game is.comfortable.
Davies - A player with over 100 games in premier League and with new arrivals knows his future is under threat, you would expect him to be able to outplay Salford's midfield.
Sigurdsson - same as Davies, Siggurdsson will also see a chance of getting back in first 11 if Gomes dips in form or picks up injury
Bolasie - I want to see what he's got left, his pace power and directness will cause Salford problems, he's always a threat if he's fit despite his limitations
Bernard - A little surprised he never got on the pitch Vs Spurs, has a decent partnership with Digne and has performed well Vs lower league opposition before.
Kean - Would expect Kean to want to show something and get a goal or two so he stays in managers plans
