Dias and Laporte looking forward to this, fern on bench!!

[PeterParker]

Good to see Dias,
Gutted to see Sterling again as a false nine.

At least play him in the fucking wing.

[nottsblue]

Sterling as striker again?

Square pegs, round holes

Would have preferred Bernardo (or pretty much anyone) instead of Mahrez. Apart from that it looks a good team. No overthinking, no strange formation.

[sheblue]

Strong team, but i would like to see Bernardo start right wind instead of Mahrez.
First we see of Diaz Laporte partnership.

[Sparklehorse]

Ake must be wondering what’s going on

[Mase]

Decent lineup. Fern instead of Rodri for me, but we’ll see how we get on.

[Nick]

Does that mean foden Is central ?

[Dubciteh]

Happy with that.

Not sure why people are looking for mahrez to be dropped, if i was to change anything it would be ake for mendy but i wont go down that road again.

Who would you play up front?

At the moment, our only option, Delap.
I don't think Raheem feels comfortable there.

Probably will score a couple today just to prove me wrong.

Totally agree, I would love to see Bernardo given a run, rate him very highly, works harder than Mahrez too

[blues2win]

Very attacking team. Only one defensive midfielder. Bernardo’s just come back to full training hasn’t he?

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

my leeds supporting mate reckons their left back (or was it right back) is a liability. Mahrez can maybe exploit that

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Delap is not the answer right now , nor will he ever be i suspect

[Beefymcfc]

Not going to be easy but I like that line-up and the invigoration with the team with Diaz and Torres should give us that extra edge.

[blues2win]

Pep says he didn’t have any choice but to play Dias. Garcia has some ‘niggles in his hamstring” and Stones isn’t match fit after being out with an injury.

[Beefymcfc]

I wonder if we will see Torres or Foden more central up front?

Excellent news.
