Team: Meslier, Ayling, Berardi, Cooper, Dallas, White, Klich, Harrison, Costa, Roberts, Bamford.
Subs: Casilla, Casey, Douglas, Struijk, Stevens, Shackleton, Alioski, Poveda, Hernandez.
On paper we should win comfortably. But we should have beaten Luton, Cardiff at 3-0 up, Preston, Derby, Sheff Wed and quite a few other home games. Wish I was as confident as some others.
Is kiko a keeper sub or a midfield sub?
we'll win today. Meslier's in goal.
Commentators are bigging us up.
Not a good recipe.
