Huge game coming up after the break. Two teams with very different styles. Both teams need a statement win for different reasons.
Always a big fixture for us but no doubt Jose needs this win a lot more than Sarri. Really hoping we not only maintain our unbeaten start but put more pressure against the one who was formerly Special.

He's the only one knocking in goals for us so it seems like a likely tactic, especially away from home. Tag team Hazard and hope Morata continues his awful form. Time for him, Willian, to step up. I predict United win this one 2-0. Freakish penalty to start will dictate the entire game.
Well that's probably because other teams have already done that to us but Man U has much better quality attacking players who will punish us on those counters than the likes of Southampton or West Ham
I doubt Morata starts. Giroud will get the start for 60 to bang against their CBs. Morata comes on later as Man U will likely have to come out of the shell. If they get an early goal tho everything can change. I don't think Willian starts tho it will be Pedro and he will find the net.
You mean 'the artist formerly known as special'. That reminds me of when prince changed his name to a symbol. Private Eye magazine did a joke about an alternative symbol which I showed to the little woman. She looked at it, slightly confused... "That's just an anchor with a large letter 'W' in front of it... OH!"
Alonso, let the team down when, even after realising the ref was never going to stop the game, he stayed down leaving an unmarked position in the box.
