My concern is our midfield with Dejan running inside. Southampton cut us to ribbons before their red card, something we saw so often last season. Very interesting game to see where we're at, enjoying the journey so far.

That should look totally different with what I assume will be the same team from Villa with Moi at inverted RB and Lavia back in the side. We should be much more secure defensively.

Depends who is playing in our defense, our CB's tend to have heart attack moments every now and then, particularly Disasi and co. 

Surely it’ll be Tosin or Badiashile partnering Colwill. My choice would be Tosin. Huge threat on attacking set pieces and corners and also a mountain defending them. Plus, he’s not as prone to crazy howlers on the ball like Disasi is.

Agree. I suspect the set up to be similar to Villa at the back. Although he may go with Gusto at RB with Enzo dropping out. It will probably depend on the condition of the players and how he weighs up attach v defence against this Spud side. 

As for the CB. I would be amazed if it is not Badi. Especially after Tosin and Disaster started midweek. 

My predicted line-up is: 

Sanchez 

Moi Badi Colwill Cucu

Lavia Enzo

Sancho Palmer Neto 

Jackson

There is no team today profiled to best us. We are not in a phase anymore of our midfield vs theirs. It’s mentality only. The profiles have been proven. It’s now about the edge that keeps you energised, which the opposition feel, and fall to. As it goes, always.

I think after Maresca was critical of Noni but praised him, we will see Noni to start and Sancho around 60'

Badiashile looked really solid coming in for Fofana on that right side but I’m not sure I’d feel totally comfortable playing him against Spuds as a left footer there. Tosin for me is a safer bet. He may have played midweek but he doesn’t have many miles in his legs this season. He should be fine playing again.

Will this big storm over the weekend effect games? The Welsh league has already cancelled games.

Wales have a red warning in place for tommrow. Sunday it's all meant to be dropping down a lot..fun times ahead..

Lets smash them. Their managers job is on the line apparently.

What we expect on Sunday:

[lluubbeenn 153]

Everton - Liverpool called off. We can put the pressure on! Let’s get these 3 points tomorrow!

[Vesper 29,019]

These are all of the players in Europe who have at least five non-penalty expected goals, five expected goals assisted and 75 progressive passes:

- Cole Palmer

That's the list. He's 22.

The limit: the sky.

[DH1988 1,304]

If arsenal win at a windy craven cottage then do the players really need any further motivation? We should be out and at it 100% from minute 1 and those who are spent get replaced at 55-66 min for the others to go 100%. Really looking forward to tomorrow, got everything done today so totally free day of football.

Having picked Sancho here instead of Noni I guess Maresca is predicting that Spuds will be very defensive and allow us to dominate the ball. Sancho is more effective when space is tight and you need someone against a low block. But I actually expect the opposite. I think with their injuries and defensive woes they’re going to go all out attack just to try to make this a back and forth, high scoring match. For that reason I’d have started Noni for his ability on the counter to kill them.

Pretty surprised as well that he trusts Badiashile as a left footer out of position on the right over Tosin.

Not complaining, though. This is a super strong team.

Both starting CB’s miraculously fit for Spuds out of nowhere. All I’ve heard this week was how Van de Ven was out long term and Romero was a slight doubt.

I think he doesn't want the turn overs. I think Sancho is a more defensive player in that he doesn't turn the ball over so much

 Typical that Spuds have their two best CB's back today.
