with Ferdi out and Estupinian potentially needing rest from the break, this might be an opportunity to get Solly back on the pitch as a wing back

Looks like ALL attackers available.

But

Ferdi , dunk , milner out

ayari , Hinshelwood not sure maybe not risked.

Centre mid looking a bit threadbare again. Maybe forced to start baleba and O'Riley.

With the increasing number of matches until Xmas I think it’s very possible that Fab will start with Wieffer sooner rather than later. He improved during the course of the Everton match, with two interceptions leading directly to counter attack goals. After he was injured he’s mainly been brought on later in the second half and has struggled with the pace of the game and having to defend a lead. If Fab wants to develop him as a holding midfielder he’s better off starting and making way for Baleba, Atari or O’Riley in the second half if the game needs new energy.

“Everybody is always telling you [English football is] really high intensity so it’s what I expected before,” he said. “But sometimes, especially if you come on in the middle of the game you feel as if it’s going really fast. If you start the game, you come into the rhythm more, but if you come on after sixty minutes, especially like at Liverpool, you really feel the intensity is high, you’re going up and down. “You come in and it’s the heat of the moment so you have to be there mentally straight away, that’s the main thing. Also in the last few games when that happened I had to defend a lot, against Newcastle and Tottenham we were in front when I came on so you have to cover and run a lot, but if that’s what I have to do then I’ll do it.

FYI the club's write-up of the presser says that Dunk is available. The full quote from Fabian is: "Lewis has been training. Let's see how the next two days go, but he's close."
