It is a damage limitation match against city but I expect we will not change our tactics so assunming Wison and Willian have recovered I expect a proven line up of:-
Leno
Tete Tosin Ream Robinson
Reed Palhinha
Wilson James Willian
Impact subs on 60 minutes Cairney, Solomon.
A thought is to play Diop in place of Reed and park the bus but I don't think that would make much difference to the result other than delaying the first City goal by five minutes or so.

I would go with that. I worry if Willian's injury last week was a tweak and not a full hamstring injury.

Yes a good idea to play with ten a genuine cunning plan that is likely to throw their plans.
I can see the reason as they will end up bumping into each other and there will be more of them to catch offside.
I am surprised nobody else has thought of that before now.
Oh dear, perhaps we could start with ten men to confuse them but bring Periera on after 3inutes
Got the impression from the MS interview that Willian will probably not be available and if he isn't, well I hope City will show some mercy!
I'd drop our keeper and play 9
Confuse the life out of them
Looking forward to seeing how Tosin handles Haaland. He's been doing well of late so he'll fancy his chances of giving him a good match up.
Its not going to happen but I would have loved to see Marco try something completely different.
Leno
Tete Tosin Diop Ream Robinson
