Haaland is supposedly back to fitness, though he may have to settle for a place on the bench as we're actually getting better results without him.

Saints will presumably sit back with a heavy low block to try for a 0-0 to get the point required to avoid equalling Derby's shocking record of 11 points in a season. Could be a cagey affair until we score. Quietly confident we'll get the points today

4-0 Marmoush Silva Haaland Foden

Really hope he doesn't drop Player of the Month for April O'Reilly. Seems the in thing to do with Pep though.

I think he keeps the same back four. Perhaps the penny has finally dropped that a stable defensive unit is usually a parsimonious one

Fingers crossed. Would like to see Super Jack in there but I feel like I'm asking for too much :lol:

This is the easiest fixture left on paper so surely we will win today. Though hopefully we won’t have one eye on the cup final next week which could be a distraction

No real pace or width. Time will tell whether it's the right set up

These players will be playing for their place next Saturday. A nice four or five goals from the Viking and the golden boot will be on the agenda again
