Rafa “Almiron is out for at least 3 weeks but we will see how he progresses. He has had his treatment & now he is positive. Lascelles is out of #bhafc game as well with a stomach illness. We have some knocks, but Schar & Hayden for me should be fit.”

Schar - Fernandez - Dummett at the back then. Still looks very solid to me.

 

 

          Schar---Fernandez---Dummett

Manquillo------------------------------Ritchie

 

------------------Ki---Hayden-----------------

 

----------Perez-----------------Atsu-----------

---------------------Rondon--------------------

 

Meaning the only position really up for contention is Ki. Rafa might go Diame, I'd like Shelvey.

Might need Diame starting to help with set pieces with Lascelles being out.

 

Lascelles being out could prove to be a big blow considering their main goal threat is most likely to come from the delivery of Groß to Duffy and Dunk.

Fernandez is going to struggle coming into this having not played regularly for some time.  I don't doubt his quality, but I expect a few moans about his performance today.

 

Almiron is a huge loss in terms of his work rate.  Atsu cannot match it.

I’m probably giving him too much credit to say Almiron is omitted because he is injured, aren’t I?

 

Beetroot-faced orca probably doesn’t even know that tbh.

I just presumed he went for Perez over him for his defensive qualities
