Luton at Home PL Match 26

[Mark79]

If we’ve aspirations of winning the league, then I think the 3 points are far more valuable than the league cup final.

Obviously we want both, but if the injury situation is forcing us to prioritise.

[badpiggy]

You'd imagine Chelsea will be throwing their gold-plated but actually made of dried dog **** sink at us on Sunday.

[baitman]

I watched the motd highlights of Luton vs manure, it could have ended 10-10.
Luton opened up manure with ease in the 2nd half but stumbled at the final hurdle too often.
We really can't be complacent.

[rudedog]

Yeah, Luton have had some decent results of late

[red g]

Many teams seasons have been derailed by losing the League Cup final. We need to win it to keep the momentum up

Imagine going into a cup final drawing/losing to Luton and both City and Arsenal catching us up before that kickoff? Much worse for derailment, no?

Unless you are Utd, getting beat 7-0 by your most hated rivals the following week!

[Pablo]

I think we need to go strong for this:

Kelleher

Bradley
Quansah (give Konate a rest)
Virgil
Gomez (give Robbo a rest)

Endo
MacAllister
Gravenberch

Elliot
Gakpo (hopefully Nunez if fit)
Diaz

Not the time to make too many big changes IMO, however tempting it may be.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Luton are a quick athletic side so we cannot risk rotating against them other than where players are out with injuries.


Go strong, go for the three points, then go as strong as we can against Chelsea in the cup final.

[S-RED]

Kelleher

Bradley
Quansah
Virgil
Gomez

Endo
MacAllister
Gravenberch

Salah
Gakpo
Diaz

Subs:
Elliott
Robbo
Nunez
Konate
Clark
Mcconnell
Adrian

I would take this

if we want to rest players, it’s best to start strong, and take off players after we’ve the game won. If we start a weakened side and were to go behind for example, then everyone needs to bust a nut to try turn the game around, and will likely be going til the final whistle.

Would be better for the players fatigue, to win the game early on, and just manage it the last 30 min or so.

[Fuzzy]

With all these ****in injuries I'm at least excited to see more of McConnell and Clark, possibly even Koumas and Danns tomorrow.

[Montana]

I think it’ll probably be something like:

Kelleher

Gomez
Quansah
VVD
Tsimikas

Endo
Mac
Gravenberch

Elliott
Gakpo
Diaz

Subs:

Adrian, Bradley, Robertson, Konate, McConnell, Clark, Gordon.

Really hope at least one of Salah or Nunez can at least make the bench.

Not sure why a few above are resting Robbo? He can play tomorrow and on Sunday, then rest for a week. Connor too, he's young and has had a decent break albeit tragically. Gomez needs to be fresh for Sterling on Sunday, when Connor can rest. Without Salah and Nunez starting we're going to need his dynamism to break through a resolute double decker.

Kelleher
Connor, Quansah, VvD, Robbo
Endo Mac Gravo
Elliot Gakpo Diaz
Kelleher, Connor,

Kelleher, Connor,

Because he's only just back from a long term injury and played the full 90 mins 3 days ago
