I’m not jumping on any GK bandwagon but I thought earlier maybe Perri for this game, he’s got that physical presence for corners that Darlow doesn’t.

Feel DCL’s presence is lost in this one. I’d probably put another midfielder on. Tanaka, perhaps?
Farke will wait until 75 mins as usual. I'd like to see what Buonanotte offers.
