Don't understand what is happening with Sanchez. Not normally in the squad. No1 last game, did well and this game not in squad. Thought he would of been on the bench

Even more surprising regarding alzate . Been outstanding looks a decent prospect then gets dropped for “ treacle boots “

5 at the back without ball, 3 with the ball? Suspect that is the key reason why White gets in over Alzate so he can fit into a back 5 when without the ball.

Seems amazingly OTT against the worst team in the league....

It's gonna be 5-3-2 no? White at the back, BDB at LWB?

Burn is fine as a full back but I'm not sure he's a wing back.

I think we'll start with the 4-2-2-2 we played a lot last season but I'll probably be totally wrong obviously!:

-----------------------Ryan
---Lamptey - Webster - Veltman - Burn
--------------White - Bissouma
----------------Gross - Lallana
--------------Maupay - Welbeck

Sanchez is reserved for top 6 only.

Trossard probably punched someone. Possibly Sanchez. We'll find out later.

"Zeqiri has been impressing Potter more than Connolly"...or not.

Stephens dropped from Burnley squad...wonder if White will be dropped against Leeds?

Finally, formations are like spoons. And, like that kid in The Matrix said, "there is no formation".

:D

Anyway, looking forward to this. UTA

Gutted March is out. Back 4 then, hope it means Lamptey still has license to get forward.

Surprised we're sticking with White in midfield and still mystified what Alzate has done wrong?!

Really pleased we're starting with Maupay and Welbeck up front.

Wonder if white will drift to right back when he bombs forward?

Is he playing for the U23s at the moment? I guess a game for the U23s would be better than being on the bench for the full team (for a keeper who has close to zero chance of coming on off the bench).

Walton’s in goal

So where is Veltman playing? I like Burn but if we are playing 5 at the back hes a square peg in a round hole in that position.

Are observers allowed in when Potter spins his wheel of selection?
