The Southampton game is the most important game of the season. It’s a nailed-on home win under normal circumstances and should be treated as must-win.
The PSG game on the Wednesday night muddies the waters a bit. An away game in Europe against quality, in-form opposition. Might take a bit out of the legs. But this is why going out of the FA Cup is a blessing, we’d be playing City probably on Sunday if we were still in it. So having a week off before the PSG/Southampton games is a real bonus.
I still expect some rotation but if it were me picking the teams I’d go weaker in the PSG game if any.
I’d play Quansah with VVD, bring in Endo and Jones for Gravenberch and Szoboslai and start Gakpo, Nunez and Salah.
That leaves Konate, Gravenberch, Szoboslai, Diaz, Jota, and either Robbo or Tsimikas fresh for Southampton. That’s the core of the team with Trent, VVD, McAllister and Salah playing both.
I know AS will see things differently and probably prioritize the PSG game but I want that fucking PL title and everything else is background noise.
To be fair, I think if it wasn’t Southampton and we didn’t have such a large buffer, and the Champions League game wasn’t a knock-out round, I think we would probably see more emphasis on Southampton.
As it is I reckon we go full strength against PSG and then see what happens after. Probably see some rotation in-game with substitutions and everything.
It’s a bizarre turn of events that despite only having 1 league game in the entire month, we might be significantly closer to the title by the end of it with Arsenal having 2 games that both provide a very reasonable prospect of them dropping more points.
Our magic number to mathematically seal the title is currently 21 points from 10 games. By the end of the month we could very reasonably see that down to just 13 (2 draws for Arsenal against Utd and chelsea) despite only playing 1 additional game.
Yeah this one league game talk is a bit silly mind.
Considering they have two.
Champions league game first I think?
Yeah PSG first and that’s how Arne will see it.
Anyhow you feel Leicester have to win tonight or it’s Joever.
Strongest side against PSG. Then see what’s what for Southampton.
I expect a little rotation for Southampton, but not too much. Who, and where? Well, let’s see how we go against PSG…
Its a light month. I’d expect Slot to pick the strongest side for the day for each of the games.
Fucked that up didn’t I…. Blame the chronic shit 4g in GB.
I bet you were thinking of the wrong Joe.
Nevermind getting about of 1st gear, West Ham are half asleep here and still winning against Leicester. They’re very literally walking past Leicester players.
And this Leicester team somehow pushed Arsenal until the 80th minute 
Ruud needs putting out his misery, at least Potter came away with some credentials as his time being a PE teacher.
I can see Potter doing ok with Westham.
RVN looks completely lost.
I think Leicester might actually be worse than Southampton.
Sticking the darts back on.
The one decision Man Utd did get right was swerving RVN as manager.
I think he won 3 on the bounce as caretaker, and there was some momentum behind hiring him. The board held firm and got their man, Amorim.
How’s that going for you?
