Nuno Espírito Santo’s starting XI is effectively anyone’s guess. Mine was based upon information in the public domain at the time of recording and, with any luck, a fair shake of common sense.
With the three South Americans in quarantine, the Portuguese will be looking to his squad for the depth one might hope for from a Premier League side boxing out of a billion-pound stadium.
In which case, in come the currently charmless duo that is Matt Doherty and Harry Winks.




Nicely put…………….
………right now – we are in the top one………but I know what you mean…… 🙂
I reckon Rondon /Japhet & Royal will start… cant spend 26 mill on someone for them to warm the bench unless your one of the top 4…
In come Doherty & Winks…. yeah, that’s a bit like replacing cannon & ball with little & large…
I think that Tanguy and Gil might start tomorrow if there are still doubts on Sonny and Skipp’s fitness. Hopefully Tanguy in place of Winks and Gil in place of Son.. Emerson might also get a chance in place of Doherty.
