If Reece is out then I reckon this will be TT team:

 

Mendy

 

Chalobah

Silva

Koulibaly 

 

Dave

RLC

Jorgi

Chilwell

 

Mount

Havertz

Sterling

 

Maybe Cucurella rather than Ben however without Reece he may go for Ben as he is a much bigger goal threat.

Hmm the question of James's availability changes a lot.  

Assuming he's not available

 

                      Mendy

       Chalobah  Koulibaly  Azpi

   RLC - Jorgi - Kova - Cucurella

     Mount  Havertz  Sterling         

 

With him available

 

                      Mendy

James  Chalobah  Koulibaly - Cucurella

                  RLC   Jorgi

         Mount            Sterling  

                  Havertz

 

Personally I think Mount and Havertz should be pulled to give another player a chance.  But I don't think TT will do that.  Maybe he will to rest them due to the mid-week game but seems more likely that they both play.

So at full time will this be @Munkworth

Or this?

@Valerie ice cream and sweat pants at the ready?

No icecream tonight @axman2526, I've been eating way too much of it lately 

But the sweatpants are on. I'm already on the lookout for new ones to shore up our results.

                           Mendy

      Azpilicueta     Silva      Kouli

James        Kova       Jorginho       Chilwell

                         Mount         

              Havertz      Sterling    

 

Subs

Trevoh for Dave

RLC for Kova 

Cucurella for Chilly

Pulisic for Sterling

Broja for Havertz

 

If James is injured put Dave on the wing and Trevoh behind.

Sounds like he is sick and not injured. So hopefully will be available again at the weekend.

It is still 3 points on line.

Twitter is saying Broja might start....

If I was Chilwell I would’ve off

Twitter was wrong.

RLC - Jorgi - Mount in midfield. I like that tbh.

Back four again.

Ziyech’s last game for us…? 

Could be back 4 or back 5 

reckon it will be 4 at the back 

 

Sounds like a straight 4-3-3 to me.

 

Don't understand why Chalobah is being left out.  

Edited August 30, 20223 yr by Valpo

Chukwuemeka, Gilmour and Vale on the bench 

Looking like the 4-3-3 we've been crying out for.

Mount dropping into his best position in midfield and our 2 best wingers starting.

Looks promising.

No chalobah on the bench. Looks like the 4 2 2 2 that started against Leicester 

Mendy

Azpi silva koulibaly cucurella 

           Loftus.     Jorginho

Ziyech.                           Mount

          Havertz.      Sterling

Thought ziyech was off

That's what I'm hoping for ... and it would be mostly square pegs in square holes .... 

Maybe Trev is sick like James, otherwise no reason to have Ampadu on the bench when he is set to leave.

Surprised Ziyech is starting he is supposed to be on his way out too.

No game off for Silva is risky.

I like it.  Aside from the absolutely atrocious right wing but that's something we can only fix in the market.

Ziyech is our best right winger tonight but another pacey double digit goal scorer on the right would slot in lovely for the rest of the season.

Sky say Chalobah injured

Not sure if that's the formation but if true Pulisic would probably be the #2 to both Sterling and Ziyech, Kova would be the #2 to Mount and RLC.  

Tuchel needs to start utilising Gilmour more as he is the only one that can somewhat offer what Jorginho does.
