Away to Swansea tonight. Hope we go full strength as this is our best chance of a trophy. I rather suspect we won't though.

No idea of team selection. Phillips could even be on the bench.

1-1 hopefully going through on penners

Absolutely no chance on earth we'll go full strength, whatever that is.

Savinho was brilliant against Huddersfield, because this is about his level. So he might get a game

If Swansea have the sense to defend solid and deep, with the odd quick break, then it could be a long night.

On the other hand, we might come away with a comfortable win.

Can see Marmoush starting instead of Erling tonight. Surely Cherki will also get a run out. Mixed bag for the rest but I'm also expecting Rico and Bobb to start

Pep said in his presser yesterday that Viking would be rested after hitting the post with his knackers at the weekend, so I assume Marmoush will start.
No idea who else will get a run out...

I feel we need Marmoush and Cherki to start playing now, we need to get football into their legs, 7 minute cameos are useless, we need them up to the pace because we will need them in the coming weeks.
Our wingers who are starting at the moment are not at the desired level so we need alternatives on the flanks and these two can do that role.

Great finish to be fair but how can you be surrounded by 6 black shirts and still have so much space?
