Lavia in for Enzo according to "confirmed" line ups on Sofascore, but Jackson and Sanchez starting (as expected)

Giroud on the bench for LA

I felt so refreshed after a few weeks rest, but now I feel old and gloomy again.

About 3 changes at halftime?

Haha yes - I guess it wouldn't be a proper Maresca starting line up if he didn't get at least a couple of players wrong !

Nicholas Jackson starts.

We’ve signed Delap, Guiu is no longer injured.

Why is he persisting with that absolute oxygen thief.

I'll go with one goal, one assist, one yellow card, three offsides and four Hooters girls post match for Nico tonight !

You're underestimating the number of offsides and overestimating the number of Hooters. Girls, Hooters Girls I mean.

Pitch is immaculate. Probably slower than what they’re used to, but much better than the rubbish they used to play on here. Good lineup

Aside from Jackson over Delap that's our strongest line up

We generally look a much better team with Caicedo-Lavia in the double pivot

I think Jackson starting is the expected choice. He deserves to start and it is also easier for Delap to come in from the bench.

Only recently laid though ( and so's the pitch ), I just hope it doesn't cut up like previously freshly laid pitches have done in our pre season games over there leading to injuries.

I was already missing football and seeing this lineup has given me ptsd. Hope we can make 2 more additions to improve thie first 11 because this team are so far away from title challengers.

KTBFFH!

Nike have plumbed new depths with that training kit.

I'm rather hoping it means there are legs in the Real Madrid transfer rumours !

Nice to have Mikel in the studio but there is a lot of commercials with this free plan. Expected of course.

It’s empty - more people working here than spectating

I think the pitch side presenter said the people have come. Not sure what she meant.

I've been trying to force myself to prepare for this, but I have pretty much mentally checked out of football since we won the Conference League. I'm sure watching Jackson will help 😐

Jesus, the stadium is pretty much empty! We had more fans in our friendly against Celtic.

Honestly has the feel of a pre season friendly no matter how hard they try and push it as a real competition, still wanna win it though obviously.

Let us know about the crowd size. BBC reporting that there are still tickets on sale at $50. That’s a lot less than prices I saw a couple of months ago when I decided not to make the 1300 km drive down from Ontario.

Better safe than sorry I guess with the lineup. Quarterfinals probably the objective.

Hope to see Delap and Santos come on though.
