Zinchenko to get a rest? Will some of those with cramp and fatigue make it? Does wood take back his position from Jesus?

A tough match but surely Ange should be getting his first win for the club?

Ange first home game too after a run of 4 away games in all competitions. 

4 of the next 5 at home in all competitions so hopefully can build some momentum.

I thought we looked decent defensively yesterday which was nice to see, certainly structurally anyway. Much more so than the previous two matches under Ange. The goals were a combination of good play and individual errors. Morato had a good game at CB, bit concerned about LB be good to get Savona some more game time I think.

Thought MGW looked better further forward too, kind of liked the setup in the first half although it leaves a lot of attacking talent on the bench.

Here's a thought for Saturdays match assuming DL is out with his injury. Murillo in his place if fit? I think he would be a revelation and also protect the defense better then DL.

Anyone else getting a bit concerned about the amount of football both Williams and Anderson are playing.

We need to win this but they have made a better start than us and will be up for it.

Tough game.

Who knows what side we will play. Very hard to predict but I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah we need to get Savona going really.

3 more games before the next international break but both will potentially play 90 in those games too! Got to find a way to get both some rest at some point. 

Ange really needs a win though so its tough to take those guys out.

Ange said DL was feeling his hamstring, not that he'd pulled it. I expect him to sit out Saturday and be ready for another 45 mins on Thursday. We don't want to put too much pressure on him at this early stage. He's not played a lot of football over the last year. Proper rolls royce football that guy is. Our best signing of the summer.

Yep agreed, fairly comfortably the best. I fear we'll be left wanting more throughout the season on him though. 

Hopefully this is something Ange learned from Spurs, to take no risks with hamstring injuries!

I would like to see Hutch get a start.

Sounds like something Baldrick from Blackadder would come up with.
