Thanks mate.

Should be a strong enough line-up.

Xabi is given a rest - did he play last game by the way? Can't remember it

[Le Chef]

So then, no SG as expected.

Hopefully Lucas will get a little futher forward today

Yup and I think he played midweek but I am surprised he isn't even on the bench

For me, this will be the game that tells us if Lucas is up to scratch. It is set up for him to have a real go and show us how he played in Brazil (assuming Rafa hasn't given him specific instructions to be dull and unadventurous).

Who is captain today?

[Pablo]

Ever so slightly worried about the creativity from that CM pairing. Hopefully Lucas will step it up today. Great to see Torres back in the starting XI

carra has to be captain

He is on the bench. And he played the full 90 mins for Spain on Wednesday.

his armband proved he was a red torres torres

[Assassin]

Good to see Lucas and Masher together in the middle. Hopefully Lucas will show us some of the box to box play he was renowned for in Brazil

[erikolaf]

This team should thrash Fulham.

He came to us from sunny Spain.

He was rested for West Brom also, hope it is purely for the rest.

I can see Lucas having a great game today and proving many of his doubters wrong.
