No idea who's gonna play CB in this one. Is Chambers ready? Doubtful.
Probably Gabriel and Mustafi seeing as they're the only ones fit currently. Due to not registering Saliba or Sokratis, the only other CB we could call up is Zane Monlouis who literally just signed his first pro deal last week. He's 17 and isn't even a regular for the U18s this season. Incredible.
I'm not that fussed about defence or goalie but in terms of midfield and attack, this is what I want to see (realistically):
Willock Elneny ESRI think it's time Nelson and ESR were given opportunities and I'd extend that to Willock to a smaller extent. Nelson in particular was very good in his most recent appearance and has only played less than a minute since - minor hamstring injury not withstanding. ESR had a slightly more serious injury so more understandable. Hopefully Nketiah can get some goals and get into a decent run of form off the back of this. I'm not quite convinced that he solves our problems at #9 but I back him.
Pepe Nketiah Nelson
Unrealistically, I would use this as an opportunity to blood Miguel Azeez. Yeah, he's not quite ready IMO but I think fasttracking him in a game like this would be useful in order to challenge him. I think he would add qualities that we lack when Partey isn't in the team and we should give him those little incentives as they'l help both us and him.
Think we could get away with El Nenny at CB for this.
