Win and we are top of the table again for a 16 hours anyway and of course we put the pressure on Jose and Klopp.

For those who feel like time is moving really slow right now

 

Predicted line up but with giroud starting.. i hope it doesnt backfire on us. Also Kai is playing instead of Kovacic

Mount and Havertz. This will be an exciting game. 

The one thing that I don't like is Werner playing on the wing, let's see how he does with Giroud.

I would still go with Giroud, I understand the reasons why many of you disagree but feel he will tear Leeds a new one and is by far our best passer and link player up front.

 

Mendy

 

James

Zouma

Silva

Chilwell

 

Kante

Havertz

Mount

 

Ziyech

Giroud

Werner

Hey I finally predicted a line up right lol.

Good lineup but I really didn't want to see Werner on the left wing again, I wish we went into this game with him as our leading forward and Pulisic out left. 

Either way, not going to massisvely complain about it, we will still have Pulisic to bring on later. 

Should be an exciting game, hope we give a good account of ourselves, I am of an age when this fixture used to really mean something. Hope our fans are in good voice, UTC.

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing when Giroud is starting. There’s not many strikers who can link up as well as Giroud, he’ll put Werner through if he gets the chance to.

I don’t mind it when it’s Giroud playing. 
 

Against their high line though I’d have had 3 quick players up front but it’s hard to drop a 4 goal striker. 

Werner played on the left side of attack with RB Leipzig so he's hardly a stranger to it, plus Pulisic needs his injuries managed so I'd rather he wasn't starting anyway.

Not sure about Mason's new cut.

Giroud is 14 goals short of being added to the prem 100 club, hopefully starts a run to get him to that before the end of the season

Guess am in the minority but I prefer Werner not as central striker, think he is a natural winger / classic number 11 type player. The idea that he isn’t good there is based on a tiny sample. I’ll probably end up having to eat my words of course

Why have 3 when we have TURBO Timo Werner

Still much better than those two sprout top Leeds players.

God you’ve just given me an image of Mason Mount with a sprout top.

Giroud can drop deep while Werner cuts inside, we'll see just how well the linkup will be, I'm expecting Mount and Havertz to be the key players here.

Leeds keeper looks quite useful. We need to be clinical today (yes looking at you Werner), and watertight at the back. They can’t buy a goal recently, and well, we have an uncanny knack at helping those sort of stats. 

Gonna need at least two goals as you can bet on Bamford scoring today.

No CHO on the bench is harsh

Agreed. I think he would have been a really useful sub.
