I don't have a good feeling about this for some reason. I hope I'm wrong.

Probably the fear of a returning Kepa lol.

 

Whoever is picked they have a point to prove to Tuchel. So any drop off would see chances limited I would imagine.

So what do we think of that hilarious XI? Emerson RB or LCB?

CHO right wing back, Emerson Left wing back...Alonso erm...centre back? I f**king hope not.

Christensen makes his 100th appearance tonight, the first academy graduate to do so sine JT.

Whaddayaknow: my predicted first scorer Pulisic is starting, I feel like a winner already

Emerson is almost definitely centre back. 

Emerson at RB?? No idea wtf that formation will be.

Looks like we stick with a back 3:

 

Kepa

 

Zouma

Christensen

Emerson

 

CHO

Gilmour

Kante

Alonso

 

Zyiech

Abraham

Pulisic

 

Or since TT likes to throw a curve ball

 

Kepa

 

CHO

Christensen

Zouma

Emerson 

 

Gilmour

Kante

 

Zyiech

Pulisic

Alonso

 

Abraham

I think he might go with Alonso for height.

3 LBs in squad and 2 playing...with 2 RBs on the bench...what??

Maybe TT has heard the winner plays City away and thought F*ck that lol

Jeez no Mount in the Squad, no Cavalry to call then if it goes 'Pete Tong'

Anyone know if Tuchel played left back, he seems to have a fetish for them...

Surely it’s got to be this.

Kepa

Pulisic Gilmour Emerson Kante

Alonso Christensen

Abraham Ziyech CHO

Zouma

Where's Havertz ?

Emerson at CB worries a bit but in corners should be alright with Zouma and Alonso in the team. I guess Kai is still injured. 

Alonso must be the lone striker 

Our front 3 is just brilliant. Not in brilliant form but the names itself should make Barnsley crap themselves. Hope our lads are up for it. 

You'd have won a lot of money if you'd bet on two of our three left backs playing at the same time, and neither of them being Chilwell LOL.

This line up should nevertheless be good enough to win quite comfortably. Good chance for Ziyech and Gilmour to dictate the play.

Said he doesn’t want to miss the show ‘Your Garden Made Perfect’ it’s on BBC2 at 8pm.

Oh f**k, so Tammy to right back and Zouma up front for the last 20 minutes then...

That is not a prediction, that is a spoiler ?
