According to the ever reliable Metro, Bagpuss is bookies favourite at 6/1!

Fonte has to be in contention for MOM, was so solid when those around him weren't particularly.

I'd take Davis off for Tadic and Victor off for Reed.

They're not like for like, and they are playing anyway so they couldn't replace him, would have to be a different formation. I agree, he'll score again soon.

What good would dropping him do? We have no one to play in his place.

I would have thought it'll be Yoshida or Toby at RB but we'll see.

I'm pretty sure the only game we've won from behind this season is West Ham away in August. Not sure about draws.

At some point in the not too distant future we need both Mane and Tadic on I'd say.

Haven't seen anything about Wanyama going?

He's gonna score the winner at City to take us to the Champion's league!

When are the first Europa League fixtures likely to be?

That was more like the finishing Pelle has been doing recently!!

Pelle set to start tonight according to the Metro.

Should be a good, open attacking game. Looking forward to it.

Would be nice to score more than 1 goal!

Didn't think he'd drop Pelle. Let's see what Long can do.

It's unlikely anyway, but it's not as if he's been playing, and Yoshida has been good recently.

True. The only other option could be to leave Yoshida at the back and play Toby in the middle: --------------Forster--------------- Clyne---Fonte---Yoshida---Bertrand -------Wanyama--Toby-------------- -------------Morgan--------------- Davis-------Pelle-----------Mane

Either this or swap JWP for one of Tadic or Djuricic.

Not sure if I agree with those advocating sitting back and playing on the break. Firstly I think the last thing we want to do is drop deep and invite pressure. They have the quality to break through eventually. Secondly I don't think we particularly have the players or the set up to play on the break. Might as well go for it. Morgan and Wanyama are protection enough in front of a back 4 containing Toby.

Don't forget some of the top teams have to play each other over the next few weeks too, which can only work in our favour.

And all 5 of these.

I disagree with both of these statements.

Credit to JWP. Admittedly Speroni should have done better but that was the only time one of our CM's got the ball, drove into space and hit a shot on target. Great follow up from Manè

Which is why Pelle will be doing his best to be jumping against Lovren. Best bench we have had all season. Pretty much other options for all our attacking players.
