I hope we make some changes for this as realistically top 10 is out of reach and I know we can finish a couple of places higher up (and some extra £ for that) but I think even if we make changes we still have plenty to give Burnley a game. 

Would like to see something like

                                                         Martinez

                        Cash           Chambers          Mings          Digne

                                 Chuk          Iroegbunam       Ramsey 

                           Buendia                Watkins             Coutinho      

 

So... basically a youthful midfield! No pressure, get the ball down and play some decent football - 4-1 Villa (easy) :)

In terms of Burnley's performance they might play really well as they're fighting for survival amd will probably be fired up.

Or on the other hand they might not play well because of the pressure (especially if they lose a lead or go behind).

Or it might be a mix of the two things above and overall they end up playing averagely.

It's going to be interesting !

Our last home game of the season against a horrible team fighting for their lives. Under the lights we usually do well, especially against teams below us and this should be no different. An early goal for us should make the game open because they’ll want to keep it tight and not concede as a point is probably a good result for them.

A couple of changes would be good to keep some fresh for Sunday. Whether it’s 4-3-2-1 or 4-1-3-2, I’d like to see Coutinho and Buendia back together. Ramsey also needs a start. Ings, McGinn and Luiz probably deserve a rest, with Carney also coming in. Another hour out of Nakamba in preparation for the battle on Sunday, then bring Iroegbunam on.

 

                                                  Martinez

                 Cash         Chambers          Mings          Digne

                                                 Nakamba

                                Carney                          Ramsey

                                      Buendia       Coutinho

                                                  Watkins                        
 

Subs: Olsen, Feeney, Young, Iroegbunam, Sanson, McGinn, Luiz, Traore, Ings.

Going to say a 2-1 win.

Burnley is always a physical game. Putting in too much youth could easily backfire. We need some steel in the midfield and some grit - but flair would be ideal for this one! Make them make the rash challenges. Wind them up. Buendia and Couthinho need to both start for sure.

I'd like to see us experiment a little here. Maybe back to the two 10s with tim holding.

We've signed Rob Holding's Dad?

Same as mine, but my formation went a bit skewiff!

Looks like Olsen will be in goal. Emi has picked up an injury in training. And Konsa is out for a few months but not an ACL as first feared. 

Olsen

Cash Chambers Mings Digne

Tim Marv

Buendia      Couthino

Ings Watkins

Never going to happen but I think we’d give Burnley a kicking with that team!

That’s still a strong lineup - I’d love to see it or a close variation of it

I would very much like a change of personnel and formation and a fat win v Burnley. If we don't get three points, at least it inconveniences Leeds.

No one expects anything at City, an organised side would be nice though. A plan of some sort.

 A balance of giving our youth a chance and some experience against what will be a very physical Burnley side needing a result:

                           Olsen

Cash     Chambers     Mings     Digne

                       Iroegbunam

           Sanson                   Luiz

Buendia           Watkins       Chukwuemeka
