Esteban not even on the bench, is he injured?

No Kingy again. What the hell did he ever do wrong? It won't help our defending or set pieces or our goalscoring potential.

 

He did nothing wrong. He's just not as good as some other options.

Never understood the hype for Hammond but hope he puts in a good shift today. Same for De Laet.

 

I bet Mahrez will be raring to go for this one.

Keeping Hammond in there to break up Burnley's lethal attacking threat maybe. Strange choice for a game where we should be looking to dictate the game, but I'm glad we've gone back to 442.

I did think Nugent needed to have a game or two out, to show he's not undroppable, so I can understand that.

 

However, I'm slightly confused by the choice of both Schlupp and Hammond. Seems far to defensive minded for me, in a game where we should be controlling most of the play and trying to break them down. Schlupp isn't exactly known for his intricate and cutting passing around the box. That said, I'm glad Mahrez is back in, I think this is the kind of game where we need him.

 

Dare I say, we could possibly use Knockaert at some point in this game too.

Burnley have no players, which is essentially carte blanche to chuck caution to the wind. I think they'll come out of the blocks at us because they have been criticised for being defensive and have nothing to lose.

Also, Hammond's passing has been excellent, a sight better than DD's was at Palace. Still think James will come on 2nd half, but hopefully we'll have the game won by then...
