#PREMATCH

Personally, I think we are more stable with Enzo on a free role in midfield rather than as one of the two lynch pins in the hole. Reece + Caicedo, Reece + Santos, Santos+Caicedo. As well as Lavia, there is also the Acheampong option Maresca talked about.

It could be a matter of who we sacrifice upfront to field both Enzo and Palmer to attain this.

Maresca doing what he did vs Bournemouth at the Vitality last season - asking the FB to move into an AM role as soon as possible to keep Semenyo away from our box. Last game it was Cucu as Semenyo was at RW, this time Gusto asked to do it.

Palmer is not at it today. Was he rushed back?

Play him in his preferred position (RW) and everything would be fine. It’s common sense

Delap was good with his hold up play and channel running before he got injured, as usual when the fan base don’t like you they don’t like you.

It's not as simple as playing him in a different position and he'll explode.

The stats said otherwise last season. The reality Palmer is just slowly coming back from injury.

Away against Atalanta next.

It'll be intresting to see who is rested with Caicedo available.

He will still be suspended for Everton at home next weekend then available for Cardiff in the Carabao Cup
