Traditional 3pm KO for this one

Could be called the “Sky Blue Derby”

Got to be red hot favourites for this one. Lampard did a great job with getting promotion and I like him. But I think they will be out of their depth here today. Hopefully our winning start will remain and we see some of the new faces bedding in. Can see a very low block from Coventry so unless we score early we’ll have to be patient

4-0. Haaland (2) Doku Anderson

Porto and rags after this one so wouldn't be any surprise. My young lad tells me McAidoo and Bouaadi are starting but I've not seen any teams news myself.

Everyone will be shocked. So many this week seemed to think we were only using 11 players this season :D

Is the teamsheet still released an hour before kickoff? Or has something changed for this season? I don't follow much social media but my young lad seems to think teams are announced on social media platforms very early or are these just muppets petending to have inside knowledge and talking shite as I suspect. Cheers.

Officially announced an hour and a quarter before now. I don't know what nefarious sources our friend above uses :D

Sadly it looks like Dias is going to be first choice for the foreseeable. Captain again FFS

Only fault I can find with maresca at the minute is playing Dias. Nunes at fullback and Khus at centre half is a fantastic back four.
