I wouldn't risk any of the seniors apart from the few who are returning from injuries

.....................Robles.....................
Jones....Browning....Alcaraz....Garbutt
...............Williams....Ledson............
Atsu...............McAleny.........Oviedo
.......................Kone.....................

Subs: Stanek, Kenny, Galloway, Dowell, Green, Grant, Long

 

[ToffeeDoug]

If any of Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Coleman, Barry, Besic, Eto'o and Lukaku make the squad I will fume.

 

[Jags]

I think he'll play a mixture of youth, experienced players, and players coming back from injury:

Robles
Hibbert Browning Alcaraz Garbutt
Ledson Osman
Atsu Naismith Pienaar
Kone​

 

[ijjysmith]

Kearton should get a game here.

 

[TGW89]

Kearton should get a game here.

I heard through the grapevine that Marc Grugel was going to start. That new Park End of ours is lovely isn't it?

 

[Azzurri]

I'd go:

Robles

Kenny Browning Galloway Garbutt

Ledson Barry

Atsu Pienaar Oviedo

Kone​

Bring Mcaleney, Long and maybe Grant on second half for Barkley/Barry, Pienaar and Oviedo/Kone.

 

[neil999]

wouldnt risk barry personally..

 

[ArtetaMagic]

I think he'll play a mixture of youth, experienced players, and players coming back from injury:

Robles
Hibbert Browning Alcaraz Garbutt
Ledson Osman
Atsu Naismith Pienaar
Kone​

I think you have got it spot on. No point just playing the under 21's team, they'll learn more playing along side a few senior players.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Is Alcaraz fit? I thought his shoulder was crocked?
If hes fit why hasnt he been playing instead of Monsieur Distin?

He was on the bench on Saturday.

 

[EFCPaul]

Play Osman. Hopefully he'll get injured.

 

[Professor Toffee]

He was on the bench on Saturday.

hopefully not as a wallflower, good news indeed!

 

[Mouth of Martinez]

Barry will play as our experinced man along with Antolin and Kone and possible Oviedo

Ledson will play, McAleny and Long should both get game time and so should both Bryan and Garbutt
