Donāt want to see Nunez starting. This pattern of him playing internationals, starting EL games and not being fit enough for the PL games needs to be broken.
We donāt need to win this. We can still get a result with a second team. Should be making plenty of changes here.
Quansah has looked very composed in his appearances. Obviously Iāve been a fan of him for a long time but heās settled into our first team quicker than I could have imagined. He deserves to start this one.
Both Quansah and Chambers started against Benfica B on Monday and both were subbed at half time. Calum Scanlon replaced Chambers to also play 45 minutes. I expect both will make the squad and possibly even start. Depending on how aggressive we go, could see Scanlon playing ahead of Chambers - heās played there before. Kaide Gordon is also available again but I donāt think he will be considered to play - his reintroduction will likely be more gradual.
I think it will beā¦
Kelleher
Gomez Quansah van Dijk Chambers
Elliott Endo Jones
Gakpo Jota Scanlon
If not Scanlon then we are likely going to have to start one of the big guns - which Iām sure we would be fine doing.
Iāve seen him a few times last year for NI and occasionally for Bolton and I thought he is a talent itās just all Iāve had to go off
Probably not 10.
