I've heard Schmeichel, Justin, Morgan, Evans, Fuchs, Choudhury, Mendy, Albrighton, Perez, Gray, Iheanacho. I can't say for certain this is the case but I've heard two different people say it now.

If that is correct that's zero creativity on the pitch to create chances for a front line which is bang average.

[UniFox21]

It's 9 changes lads

Evans and Kasper remain

Just seen the team for today warm up. Looks like its Mads and Perez up front.

One goal from a dodgy corner will do if we shut them out.

Why is this a late kick off? No other prem games in london and not on tv?

So we have 45hrs between games instead of 43hrs for that important extra rest

Was it lee chappy ? 

 

I don’t doubt you mate but you would expect the club to tell him to keep away from people as West Ham would surely change their set up if they know he isn’t start8ng ....

Anyone else concerned that our team selection appears to be public knowledge so far ahead of kick off!

I was expecting 8 to be honest. Amazed that Mendy is in there

[adam]

Not sure why were making all these changes. We need a win to get our confidence back.  No other side in the league has made as many changes as that. Surely we just rest everyone against wigan.

yeah, a car just passed my house and I am sure the bloke said Schmeichel, Justin, Morgan, Evans, Fuchs, Choudhury, Mendy, Albrighton, Perez, Gray, Iheanacho. 

[Deeg67]

Praet can’t be tired, surely? Why would you use Mendy instead of him?

tbh, it’s only mendy that surprises me and why cags isn’t playing with JE.  I’m worried about Wes although he wasn’t culpable at Everton ....

 

Assume the team stayed at the hotel near tower bridge which means it would be obvious who is and isn’t there .... a few won’t have travelled

Absolutely no need for a return of Puel's double DM if that is true especially with Praet not starting the last game.

He didn’t?

 

fabianski rumoured to be starting for them .... be a nice re introduction for him just to take a few goal kicks .....no danger of a bad back collecting the ball out of his net!

Praet played the full game against Liverpool 

[Blanchflower78]

9 far too many, its weakend FA Cup material not a Prem fixture. Be madness if true.

My mistake, he must have a bit of Andy King about him. 

[Guest Manini]

I’m more nervous to see the starting line up than I am for the game
