    Yup. It'll be no surprise if our squad isn't quite as complete on Monday morning.
    I bet you can squeal like a pig!

    Good point on old man Milner

    I've changed my mind, although, the clubs medical staff will know how many games in a row the players are up to playing, even after 2 weeks off, it's 2 days rest, followed by just another 2 days rest, so I'd rotate more and start with a few more on the bench as we want as many as possible at 100% for the first leg v Inter, a competition we have a far greater chance of winning than the Premier League this season, although I haven't given up on the Quadruple.

    I thought Bobby has an awful game last time out, need him for set pieces in this one in my opinion and to keep other legs fresher, it is a squad game and for me we're going to have to use the squad rather than risk overplaying certain players at this stage of the season and ahead of the first leg of the Champions League last 16 and an upcoming Wembley final

    As ever all the focus on each next game, of course, but we have to consider the schedule and manage the player appropriately

    I was 'of a mind' that maybe they could play all 3 and we could rest a few v Norwich, but, it's a non starter

    Alisson

    Trent Konate Van Dijk Tsimikas

    Elliott Fabinho Milner

    Mane Firmino Diaz

    If Hendo is available he will feature for this.

    This will be a battle - Burnley facing relegation…. Expect the opposition to be as rough as Dyche’s voice

    We'll win. But it will either be a easy 5-0 or a last minute 2-1 winner.
    They're bottom of the league but they will not go down without a fight.

    Burnley are a horrible team to play especially at home. In fact they haven't lost at home in the league since September so it will be a tough tough match where I'll be happy with any kind of win

    Alisson
    Trent Konate Van Dijk Robertson
    Hendo/Milner Fabinho Elliott
    Salah Jota Diaz

    I don't trust Matip or Thiago to play 3 times in a week and they'll be needed against Inter

    TAA …. Konate…Virg….Robbo
    …..Hendo...Fabinho… Milner
    ….Salah….…Jota…..Diaz

    Konate and Milner adding a bit of steel to physically match the cloggers.

    Looking at the bottom clubs its a win win.. If Burnley go down good riddence to thugs.. Everton go down its good bye to bitters..If Newcastle go down its bye bye rich club wannabees.. Hopefully Norwich can get out of it and drag 2 of them down the mine shaft

    Quite like Burnley as a club being in the Premier League but I wouldn’t miss the way they play if they were relegated.

    It was the game at Burnley 3 or 4 years ago, where I think we won 2-0 or 3-0, I realised how good a side we were/are. They are the kind of team where would have gone there before Jurgen and been happy to get away with a point. But we played proper stuff and beat them comfortably.

    We'll definitely go and get beat now...
