Mount is injured. 
 

Likely the same lineup bar Kante for Gallagher and Chilwell for Cucurella. 

Darren Farley's gag this week was Frank still hoping to relegate Everton by giving Wolves 3 points. 

 

This lineup reaffirms that 🤣.

 

We should still get the three points, but it'd not a lineup that instills much confidence. Eyes on Madrid, surely.

Perhaps he's saving Chilwell, Kante and Mount for Real Madrid ?

I think he's just hiding them from Ancellotti.

Badiashile's disappearance recently is mind-blowing. Been our best player since he's come in. 

Confirmed Kante is resting. 

Mount 😟

I'd rather we play Badiashile and Fofana.  That's our best bet going forward.  Of course Silva when he's fit, but he also is what, 38 now?  We should be looking to get Badiashille and Fofana familiar with each other.

It's not going to get any better for him next season either if Colwill is coming back ... 

Mason on the bench last game so how is he injured, relapse ? 
No Kante at all, expected him & mount on bench at least. 
Using a 4 with calamity coocoo & KK is well dodgy expect them to exploit our left 

At least there’s a striker on the bench, wish he was starting instead of Havertz again.

Not even close ... 

chillwell and kante resting for Madrid? 

Mount injured and apparently a doubt for Madrid as well.

I’m getting less optimistic about him staying as the weeks go by.

Kind of reminds me of the good ole Lampard days with out of confidence Kepa in goal, Alonso pretending to be a LB, the easily shaken Christensen with Zouma at CB and James as the only saving grace at RB.

I am confused as to what the problem actually is now? Did he pick up a new injury?

Costa has scored all season..he starts up front today. If you know, you know…

I really want to see Badiashile and Fofana playing together in a back four, but that moment will come. 

I’m ok with the lineup. Need some quality out there and focus to limit stupid mistakes. 

Just going to enjoy the ride. KTBFFH!

Line up with Real in mind perhaps? Kante and Chilwell rested, Frank trying to help Havertz get some confidence? 

Disappointed in that line up if I’m honest

Getting so bloody annoyed hearing this. 
 

 

I like Sterling LW, he's arguably been our best attacker this season when he plays there

Got a good feeling about this game, maybe just a new manager bounce but we'll win this I think

I still wouldn’t rule out Koulibaly going back to Italy.

And you have to play the centre back pairing that is going to start against Madrid.

Yeah looks like Silva won't make it.

Frank playing for a point. All in on the CL.
