Always a case of what we think Rafa will play against what we'd like him to play.

Having said that, he's not doing too badly so my initial thought is 'the team I'd like to play...is the one Rafa would like to play'! So with that in mind, let's ignore the fact that I'd like to see Merino start in place of Perez or Mitro instead of Joselu or Mbemba instead of Manquillo.

I think we'll see:

............................................Elliot .......................................

Yedlin........................Lascelles.........Le jeune.............Manquillo

Ritchie.....................Hayden............Shel vey............Atsu

................................Perez............. ..............

....................................Joselu........ ........

Thoughts?
