Dan James

No The Scottish Player is a surprise.

James picked for pace. Nice to have some options on the bench.

Come on Reds

That city back 4 is ripe to be got at.

Let's hope martial decides he can be bothered today

5 at the back as expected

Would rather Bailly ahead of Lindelof

The Scottish Player and Iggy off the bench could be huge

Good to see Axel back

Is it? He got rings run around him by sigurdsson and davies last week.

Gone with the 5 again eh? Going with a line up that defensive at home could really restrict our ability to create chances.

Bailly has a knock apparently

As expected a back 3 however I thought he would play either Greenwood or Ighalo with Martial in attack

James needs a big performance as he’s been pretty poor for months

Huge game because if we can win then we can get over a big psychological issue we have playing city at OT

James was excellent against City in the first game so absolutely no surprise he’s gone for him tbh.

2-1

Did he? in that 1-1 draw where we controlled large parts of it?

It's surprise because he's an automatic pick. Can only think it's a fitness/just coming back from injury issue.

James performance at City was typical of how hes been the last few months: struggling for confidence and end product, but a threat and an outlet for us. Let him run them into the ground and weve the options of Mata, ighalo and gteenwood for when it opens up a bit.

You can see why he's gone with him.

our record at home against them is shocking. something like three wins in ten years, is it?

let's put that hoodoo to rest.

Ole’s talking one way and setting up another way. It’s very hard to be on the front foot with 8 out of your 11 being defensively minded.

last win at home against them was under van gaal wasn't it in 2015?
