My initial reaction was to think Roy will just stick with the same team however will be interesting to see if he makes any changes to things given the crap result on Monday.

After that performance however I am struggling for inspiration to pick an XI given there was an array of dire performances barring Clyne and Eze IMHO. Would porbably like to see Schlupp start to inject some pace and directness.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I reckon Bats will prob be dropped, putting Ayew back in the middle and Schlupp in on the left, with Eze in a free role

We'll prob see this:

With a bench a something like:

Butland; Sakho, Dann, Mitchell/Ward, McCarthy, Batshuayi, Benteke

I agree that long-term Tomkins and Cahill are probably our best partnership, but bringing them both in after injury is a lot to ask and risky. Bruce has a similar old-school approach to Roy, so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Milivojevic hasn’t finished his 3 match suspension has he?

Yes, that is the team i would choose, but i woulnt be surprised if Eze stays on the left and Benteke starts in place of Bats

Judas team talk already finalised then. Supposedly Townsend had a stinker but with no obvious replacement will no doubt be in the starting line up. With these sort of limitations, expect to see a very similar line up to Monday's horror show I'm afraid.
