This bizarre modern day football thing that has been made up that people call a “three game week”, like playing three games over eight days is some exceptional event to be overcome. 

Wonder how the current generation of players and coaches would have coped in the old days with three games in four days over Easter.

Wenger, Klopp and Pep would shit themselves at that prospect.

In the 1993/94 PREMIER LEAGUE season i went to Saints v Chelsea on 27th December followed by Manchester City v Saints 28th December,  marvellous stuff

I would be tempted to change either Downes or Jander for Charles but that's it.

No need to change the back 4 what so ever and I'd be shocked if Larin was fit enough to start.

Maybe one of the attacking midfielders will be rotated. 

[Saint Garrett]

If there are 2 changes then likelihood is one is Downes out for either Charles or Bragg.

I can't see why we'd change the back 4 unless Stephens cant play twice in 4 days. 

Outside of that, possibly Larin for Stewart or Matsuki in for a-n-other.

I'd rather Eckert picked an unchanged side to start and than used his subs after HT. If he changes things around and the reshuffled team go one down it will be an almighty slog to get back on terms whoever is on the bench. The regulars have a much better chance of keeping a clean sheet up to HT.

Big shout out to Alfie bloody House who seemed delighted to announce in The Echo that we ain't getting a live stream on Sky tonight. I had assumed we were and was looking forward to it, let's hope that this is the only one of my hopes to be dashed today.

1980:

Boxing Day - Spurs away 4-4

Dec 27th Leicester home won 3-1.

Not too much rotation. And only one substitute,so no bringing 3 of them off at 65 minutes.

Most players involved in both as I recall. Several probably got pissed when they got back from Spurs as well. 
 

Then there was 1978:

Sat - League Cup final

Monday - Arsenal FA Cup at home 1-1 

Weds/Thursday Arsenal - replay (lost)

Sat - played some other bastards I suspect but can’t look it up at the minute

Yep, I think Charles will start and maybe Scienza will be on the bench with, presumably, Edozie starting.

Other than that, likely as you were (assuming everyone is fit).
