Lijnders said in his Carabao Cup press conference that Millie is probably out till the International Break with his hamstring. Keita only has a bruise. Fabinho should be back for Saturday's match. Thiago is about to start training again.

Considering Naby gets hurt kicking a blade of grass, I'll be shocked if he's actually able to play soon after getting clobbered studs-up by Pogba. Hope so but hard to imagine he's not out for a few weeks.

At the beginning of the season and when the draw came out I thought the LC might be a good place for the youngsters to get a run.  With Elliott/Thiago/Milner/Keita out I'm not sure I mind an early exit.  Not good to go out against Preston North End though.

Looks about right, with Adrian in for Kelleher and I'd slot in Tyler Morton in the midfield.

Can't say I know anything about Blair and Morton.  If these games gove these guys minutes, then let's go ahead an win.

Morton came on as halftime sub against Norwich in the previous round of the League Cup and was very impressive, honestly one of the better players on the field. Holding midfielder.

 

Blair is totally out of left field. He's an 18-year old winger who's only played for the U-18's with no appearances at U-23 level. We signed him from the Mancs when he was 12, so bonus points if he turns out to be a good one.

Yeah, can't say I was paying a lot of attention (if any) to the second half of the Norwich LC game lol.

 

Probably the same today.

Matip/Gomez looks like a mediocre partnership at best.

I think they both have some fantastic qualities to their game but I also think, and Ibra did this a lot early against ManU, that they step up to pressure players too often and often times without regard for what’s happening on the wings. VIrgil often has to cover for them doing so and it’s why he often times plays like a sweeper back there. Neither Gomez or Matip seem to be capable of that.

Naby is back in training today. This guy might be the most unpredictable player ever, injury-wise. After that dirty tackle by Pogba I was sure he'd be out for at least three months.

thankfully Pogba missed Keita's standing leg. That would have been a long-term injury.
