I wonder if Fraser might be rested for this. Move Joelinton over there and bring Bruno in. Nothing to suggest Fraser needs resting, his recent performances suggest he is well over his injury problem, but we might not want to risk him. Plus it gives Howe an excuse to bring in Bruno without dropping anybody.

 

Not the worst idea tbh.

There’s just no way Shelvey gets dropped for Bruno, it just won’t happen. Eddie rates him and also loves Joelinton (as much as I do right now). If we want to get him in the side then it’s either Willock on the bench or a switch up with Joelinton moving to the right

Another got to win game , think the West Ham game could be iffy but they maybe on a downer following the cat issue, Brentford deffo must win

 

I wouldn't say it's got to win like, especially after Tuesday.

 

That said, win and I'll really confident we'll be alright this year.

Think Shelvey persistently gets a raw deal on the forum. He has his limitations but he's been one of the better performers since Howe came in and he's been nowhere near one of the worst parts of the Ashley regime. Think he's earned a regular starting berth and I don't see him being dropped for Bruno; seems to be an element of negative groupthink towards him.

 

Agree 100% with this. We all know this improvement is form has a short lifespan and he absolutely should be improved on in the summer, but for now he's deserving of a starting spot over Willock who's played 45 minutes of good football this season.

My gut instinct is that if we are going to be without Trippier for Villa, then we should bring Bruno in to compensate for Trippiers quality on the ball. If Trippier makes it, then I can see the arguement for not changing the midfield. So two scenarios for me:

 

Trippier  Lascelles Schar  Manquillo

                         Shelvey

             Willock            Joelinton 

Or:

 

Manquillo Lascelles  Schar     Burn

                       Shelvey

            Bruno              Joelinton
