Massive game this IMO. Not just because it's away to a direct rival but I'm looking to see if we've developed as a team both on the pitch and mentally. Need to start beating teams around us away from home to show our credentials.

We have to start with 352.

Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Doherty Bentancur Bissouma PEH Sess
Son Kane

Looking forward to meeting Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman and 1chriswaddle again

Agree with regard to both mentality and the line-up.
 
Tough game. They've become steady if unspectacular under Ten Haag & beat both Woolwich and Liverpool at Old Trafford already. They're well equipped on the counter attack and have a bit more steel at the back and in midfield.

I expect a bit of a slog, tbh. A draw would be a more than acceptable result.
 
Completely unpredictable game.

We could go there and win 6-1, or lose 3-0. Don’t you just love football? 😂

I just hope if greasy Ron is playing, that we have a plan for him this time, we let him run riot in the last game and had no idea how to close him down

I think our MF3 would comfortably trump them for steel. We're also an awkward proposition for them; not being the most front-footed team..... Their front 3 all relish space to run into and beyond, so sitting in a bit would likely work in our favour.

Could quite easily stifle each other and see a dirge of a 0-0 tho' given the clash of styles, but as the away team you'd reluctantly take that.

Oh it will. But they have a reliable shield. Casemiro will probably start, possibly even alongside a McTominay. They won't be easy to play through and they probably won't be giving us lots of space to counter.

I see a lot of cancelling each other out and yeah .. draw would be fine.

Haven't actually seen him play for them yet; but until now in the league ETH has be trying to force a MF3 including both CE & BrunoF.

I'd be surprised if he did that vs us, tbh. I expect to see Eriksen, Casemiro, McTominay. Starting Bruno & Eriksen would make me more optimistic.

But hey ... we'll see. I think Casemiro is nailed on though, he's started getting in to the lineup and don't see how they can leave out their big summer signing for any longer.

hard to choose anything other than that going on earlier. obviously davies out for lenglet who gives us more quality on the ball.

this would be a big statement win. a win here and we are flying.

eventually though PEH and bentancur are going to need some rest, cant be expected to play all these games coming up. conte is going to have to earn his dough and play this run up to the world cup extremely smart

I think it’s the only option if Kulu is out, but honestly if kulu is actually fit by some miracle I would be happy with the 3-4-3 aswell as we are better on the break in that formation.

Either way a draw doesn’t do it for me, we need to start winning some of our games against the big 6 this season if we are serious about achieving anything.

Let’s go there and turn them over, last season city away esque performance please.
