Wow that would be a healing spell worthy of Madam Pomfrey herself!
(Yeah, i know my potter, i have 3 kids and am a 39 year old child, big whoop!)
I get the feeling based on a couple of his comments this week after the Sheff Utd game that he’s going to go for an attacking line up. I think we’ll see Alzate, Bissouma, Trossard and Mac Allister all in the side.

I think Stephens might start as well. I like him but I fear he is a red card waiting to happen, especially after missing a few weeks with injury. One late tackle on Mr Tumble and we are down to 10

I hate Palarse
We were down to 10 men last season, and still cruised home!

Palace will probably play 4-3-3 like last week, apparently it was their best performance for a while with the team pressing high and being quite fluid with their attacks.
So it makes sense to flood the midfield so that we win that battle which in turn should mean more chances to attack. So I'd be surprised if we don't go 3-5-2 against them.
Normally you wouldn't put in a newbie against your main rival, however Potter could well play Mac Allister up top alongside Maupay.
So yes....I'll no doubt be completely surprised by the team selected!

Agreed. I think he is a very good player and probably the ball winner we need in midfield tomorrow. He just leaves me worrying that he is a mistake waiting to happen. And as for his shooting, well he shouldn't be allowed to have a go! He isn't the only one though. We don't seem to have a player capable of scoring from distance anymore.

He's giving the Magic 8 ball a shake up as we speak.
The one thing I confidently predict is that the team will be impossible to predict.
No full backs.
Give palace the width and beat them through the middle.

Lamptey to be given the job of frustrating Zaha until he throws his toys out of the pram.
Plus Ryan and 9 others.

Whatever 11 is chosen 4 will be playing out of position

Solly March had Zaha in his pocket, last season, at the Amex game.
Whatever the line up, it is guaranteed the match thread will be full of moaners about it.
He's got some big decisions to make now.......real competition for so many places, and lots of tactical flexibility. I don't want :
-Alzate at RB (but would like him in the middle)
-Gross and Murray both on (need more pace)
-Burn at LWB (would prefer Bernardo)
Looking forward to seeing what Potter's Bag of Magic Balls comes up with at 11.30

This exactly what I said to my mate earlier this week when we were discussing potential line ups.
