Sam Inkersole on football.london website reckons Yarmolenko is injured and Winston is training every other day so still a long way from making the bench.
12 days rest and we were dead on our feet after 60 minutes again.
2 days rest and we go up against Leicester, feels like we are going to watch a performance akin to when we play City at home. Vardy will absolutely shred the back line.
It pains me to say it but it is time to drop Noble. He is too slow for the premiership now, he takes one or two touches every time he gets the ball and his passing is not as effective as before. With nobody other than the dreaded Sanchez to replace him we should go to 4 1 4 1. Fornals has done OK on the wing but is better centrally and can help Rice a bit defensively. I doubt Pelle will do this as he likes the work-rate of Snodgrass. It will be tough today so 2-2 might be OK.

Alderz, This might a bit risky, so if you put Snodgrass in instead of Lanzini it might be a bit tighter - more like a 4 3 3 - but I think taking a few risks is our way out of trouble, not trying to "respect the point" and getting caught out.
This will be a good test to see what we're made of, to see our character and how we respond after Palace. A true reflection of what's ahead. I'm hoping for some pride & passion and if we lose, then I want to see a full 90 minutes of effort and commitment. Anything less will be a true reflection on where we're heading under this regime.
I’m just off to the game. I’ve been sitting in front of a nice warm open fire, and am now going to face the M11, a load of traffic and the DLR. I hope to see the players put in some effort or I will give the Liverpool match a swerve.

No early snippets of team news?? Will Fab be fit, will Pelle decide to rest 1 or 2 after playing only 2 days ago? It's over to you Pelle- show you still can breed confidence & get our pretty expensive players play like they are worth their fees, have u got it in you , jury's out for me- that's a no brainer, please make me look stupid...

I like the look of that team, but we would be torn apart by Leicester with such an open side, IMO.
