Just as with our game vs Hull on Easter Monday.

The timings have worked in our favour this time.

Will Farke move Ampadu into midfield?

Geo and Firpo both in the house...no shots of Willy, Connor, or Gruev.

Cooper will be up against pace in their attack.

At least Geo has made it.

That's a bummer.

Two positional changes in the spine of our team.

Definitely not ideal, '64. In terms of defensive liability, at least Byram is starting ahead of Firpo so Amps and he can provide cover for Coops if needed. Firpo can then come on near the end if we need a little magic getting forward.

I'm almost certain it is. Good backing from Farke as we know he doesn't put youngsters on the bench just for the sake of it

I think Firpo will be taking a nap on the bench today. Still got some catching up to do.

Pretty pleased with the starting line up. Only 3 changes and all more than adequate.

Byram was always going to start with Firpo's flight schedule. Cooper is more than capable in defense and nice to see Ampadu in midfield. And James almost a straight swap with Gnonto.
