Does Frank go full strength today or give some of the squad players a run out? There's lots of games coming up but the chance to win a trophy in his first season must be something he's thinking about. Personally I'd like the defence to stay the same unless James is fit enough to play. Need to try and get a consistent defence as it's something we've struggled with. Would love to see kovacic and gilmour play again as I really like that pairing and some game time for RLC to help him back to fitness. Willian and pulisic behind tammy would be good. I still think it's a strong side and good enough to win the game but would give James, RLC and tammy some minutes. I'm going got a 2-1 win today

So it could be
RJ. Rudiger. AC, Emerson
Gimour Kante. Kovacic
Willian Tammy Pulisic

The players didn't start against Villa or City, should definitely start against Leicester.
Likes of Willian, Mount, Pulisic, Azpi have expanded a lot of energy, increased risk of muscle injuries during this congested run of fixtures...not worth it. Rotate accordingly.
Caballero
James Zouma Rudiger Emerson
Gilmour Jorginho (c) Kovacic
*Hudson-Odoi Tammy Loftus-Cheek
*Pedro if Hudson-Odoi isn't deemed fit to start.
That's still a fairly strong side.

Frank sees it that way as well.
Silly not to rotate almost the whole team and build match-fitness of players that haven't had much of opportunity yet.
Injury or loss of form can occur at any moment to the ones that have been playing throughout, fresh players need to be ready.

That would be my team as well, although I would quite like to see Pulisic in there.

Pulisic can be one of the five subs that make an appearance off the bench.

Should be a good game.

We have to rotate and tbh doesnt really change strength of side as such we have a lot of players fighting in positions of roughly similar quality lol
But ye we have to rotate because of how cramped this schedule is

Pulisic has only played 120 minutes and prior to that been on the physio table. I would argue he needs as many minutes as possible. It makes sense to rest Willian and Mount and Azpi though.

I will be amazed if CHO starts. He is very much on the naughty step at present and will have to prove himself to Frank in training to get back in the team
