We all want 3 points but tbh if we draw i wouldn't mind. Main thing is we keep up the pace for top 4 finish.
Yep, we always turn up in these games and I always feel confident of 3 pts in them. The only thing making me a bit nervy about this one is the team we put out.
I think Coutinho will start but my biggest concern is if Hendo is missing. He gets about in midfield and covers ground, gets his foot in and moves the ball quickly to the attacking players.
Can slows play down and isn't dynamic/athletic enough and you could see someone like Pogba running riot up against him whereas you know he won't get an easy ride up against Hendo.
Can with Hendo is fine but Can on his own is a problem for me. I've watched him carefully and whenever he is up against anyone dynamic, mobile and athletic, he tends to come out second best and Pogba is all those things.
