Ifølge presseren blir det litt flere endringer til denne kampen enn vanligvis:
We know it's the third game in six days and a quick turnaround. I wasn't concerned about the turnaround with the last game but this one, with having a game late on Wednesday and then Saturday afternoon it's a bit more tricky
and for that there will be a few more changes than you would perhaps expect for a league game in such a period. We still want to go with a strong starting XI because we want to go into the next round.
Pascal, Archie og Daniel er fortsatt ute.
Tipper:
Meslier, Byram, Rodon, Cooper, Firpo - Gruev, Ampadu - Poveda, Rutter, Anthony - Piroe
Benk: Klaesson, Cresswell, Shackleton, Kamara, Bamford, Summerville, Joseph, Gelhardt og èn til
Mht det hvile en spiller som Ampadu svarte han vel og lenge på i går - det springende punktet er kanskje at Ampadu selv VIL spille:
If you were to bring Liam back into the team, that might mean Ethan goes back into midfield which would be a bit more exhausting for him, are you tempted to give Ethan a rest, he has started every game for you? "Yes I know about his schedule and because he is a regular starter for us and his national team I know that sometimes it's a bit difficult but he's also a player who wants this and needs this. Sometimes we have a discussion and he says 'no, I need to play all three days'. The break between our last game and the Preston game was nine days and some of the players we are not used to having such a long break but he always gives a sign 'no, no, I am ready' and to want to play. For Ethan it was a bit like resting him in the last games in the centre back position. I have this in my mind how relentless the schedule is for him and if I sense anything in him being exhausted from a physical point of view or anything from the mental side I would give him a rest. Right now it's about checking him from a physical point of view to get a feeling how he presents himself in training. This afternoon we have another session and then we will make some late decisions.
