Limited... to 375,000? We should release limited edition golf nufc trunks for £5m a pop.

The most important game of the season was against Liverpool in the cup final, and we played this formation against Arsenal at the Emirates in January.

I really hope it isn't Burn at LB, would get torn apart by the pace of Madueke or Neto. Even if back 3, need to lot let any of them get isolated 1v1. Zero pace in the back line.

We also setup like this against Arsenal in the second leg of the Carabao cup semi final.

Cole Palmer must have the worst haircut in the league. I challenge you to show me a worse one currently.

Feeling the nerves now

I think we're going to try to dominate the middle with a very aggressive press from the a front three of Isak, Barnes and Gordon. Murphy at RWB and Tino at LWB being tasked with providing the width. I expect Burn in the centre of the three and Schär stepping out at times to allow one or both of Bruno and Tonali to push up. I like that we've got a new formation as I've mentioned one of the only criticisms of Howe you could make is that we so often play the same formation. Lack of attacking options off the bench is a bit of a concern. Very nervous here.

Testing a new formation right before the most/2nd most important match of the season?! I don't have any words other than praying for Howe being the genius we all think.

The way they play in midfield does concern me a bit. It feels like our CB’s will get moved about a lot. That said, we should be getting players close to Isak today. I think their defence can be got at. Colwill is not great, Caicedo is not a RB and Cucarella is much better going forward than defending.

Oh my, I am so excited to see this formation. Shame we don't have Hall at LB but wow, Chelsea won't have a fucking clue what to do with us because we've been 4-3-3 for 3 years.

Eddie has said that Willock and Tripps have picked up injuries in the last game. Hopes to have them back before the end of the season, but there's no guarantee.

Aston Villa made the quarter finals, almost the semis. How are we not ready? Especially considering the money we are going to invest in the summer.

i think this is 3 at the back formation...

Feels like a proper niggly one today for me, stuck loads of fouls on my bet builder even without Joelinton playing

Isak Gordon Barnes Livramento Tonali Bruno Murphy Burn Botman Schar Pope So something like this?

This game has turned to a complete unknown now. I was confident when I thought Joelinton might be back but even without just him I thought we'd be alright. Now it's a completely new lineup with players playing in a different role or position they have been recently and next to players they might not be familiar with. I'm assuming Murphy and Tino as wingbacks? Hoping it pays off but not much off the bench available to change if it's not working.

Our bench is a bit shit if Gordon or Barnes gets injured

Knew Villa would be interested!

Head wants CL, heart prefers Europa. Anyway, need aggression but cool heads today.

We'll either win 1-0 or we're properly battering them. Howay the Lads!

Hope @Paully has made it out of Harry’s, seemed to be enjoying the Sun when I went past 🍺

Then they should have performed better earlier in the season. Goes both ways. No one can afford them anyway.

Tonali

Time to shine, Sandro.
