not quite sure what sort of team we put out on Saturday . we cannot afford to lose this game , if we do then we give Chelsea an opportunity to claim 4th by beating us .
however we only have 3 fit midfielders and do we want to risk the front 3 given that we still have work to do in Rome .
whilst we can prob go with solanke or ings to rest one or maybe two of the front 3 I am not sure who we have as back up for the midfield perhaps Trent plus Henderson and Milner ??
shows we still need some depth , could really do with Can fit !

I'd be interested to see Moreno in that position - but doubt it'll ever happen.

------------Karius
---Klavan Lovren VVD
Clyne TAA Henderson Moreno
-----------Woodburn
-----------Salah Firmino
Basically a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-1-2 and not risk 2 of our 3 remaining fit CM's. Bring Ings and Solanke after an hour (gulp)

Moreno at wing back may work but I would rather play Klavan in a back 4 as left back

some interesting ideas there , I do wonder if we use Moreno in a different position as he has talent , just not as a defender !

At the risk of hubris, we should have enough to beat Stoke regardless. They're dreadful.

guess my concern is for our front 6 the only alternatives we have are ings and solanke and poss Trent and Moreno , cant risk playing more than 2 of them if we want to win and that means 4 of our main players are risked .

Another early kick off, our results in them have been pretty poor this season.

Play strong team. Probably rest Mane, Milner and Hendo.
