Can't afford to lose Mendy for a lengthy period.

we will for the ACON though

It's only three league games max.

Loftus-Cheek needs to move to a club like Palace, Southampton or Wolves. That's probably about his level.

Agree, think his window has passed now.

There was a period towards the end of Sarri's reign where his window was open but an untimely injury locked it shut. Real shame, but life of a footballer unfortunately.

Ziyech will surely start instead

Kepa isn't as good as Mendy but he would still get in 13/14 other Premier teams imo.

He's fine now I think...has benefitted from being taken out of the firing line, and has great defenders in front of him these days when he plays

In saying this.. we need to give bettinelli a run in this competition

Yep don’t want to tempt it but kepa actually put in some solid displays the last 10 or so appearances

I'm hoping he gives a chance to some others hopefully this will be our team sheet.
Bettinelli
James, Chalobah, Sarr
Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Saul, Chilwell
Ziyech/ Loftus-Cheek
Werner, Lukaku

Why not...depends on TT's idea of how important he sees this pot

Werner & Lukaku together would be cool but he can't do it. Lukaku's fitness should be a top priority, he's too important.

I wouldn't mind seeing a back 4. CMF wouldn't either as it means CHO would probably play LW
