Team for tonight

Burnley raise their game vs United every time we play them. It's a local thing. Will be a battle but we should have enough even with the injuries.

Dalot for AWB, he needs a rest

For tonight I'd go with

DDG

Dalot
Bailly
Maguire
Williams

Matic
Fred
Pereira
Mata

Martial
Greenwood

I think AWB and James need resting and I think Bailly should replace Lindelof who is ill apparently. Play a diamond in the middle of the park with Martial and Greenwood as a two up top. Hopefully with Dalot and Williams we'd see more of an attacking threat than with AWB and Shaw. If Ole doesn't want two members of the back four coming in after injury I wouldn't be against Shaw at LB and Williams RB either.

Forgot myself that Lindelof was probably out.

Quite like the look of that, although not sure that Ole will start Bailly without a bit of a run out first.

I know it would be a risk with Bailly but I'm not sure of Jones at the moment either. We'll see but I definitely think James and AWB need to be rested. If we're ahead tonight James would be useful on the break IMO. I know I mentioned signing James around March last year but I never thought he'd start this many games and neither should he have IMO.

Elvis would like to see the team all shook up,

People laughed at me when I said I’m going to be a comedian, ha, not laughing now are they?

Hi Bob!

Bailly has been out for such a long time, and I think the last time he returned and was injured straight away. Choice of risking his health (mental and physical) or letting Jones get mauled by those big Burnley lads. Oh FFS where art though Axel?
