Sanchez
Groß-Veltman-Dunk-Estupiñán
MacAllister-Caicedo
March-Sarmiento-Mitoma
Ferguson

Would be my XI
That's kind of where I'm at.
I think Bob wants Groß on the pitch, Irrespective where, as he's so useful when shuffling the deck later on.

Tough on Lamptey, but I do think it's about time Sarmiento was properly unleashed on the EPL

Agree about Lampty. If Zaha Plays Veltman should play as has played him well in the past
I might've missed an update, but I thought Mr Tumble was out for about six weeks?

Lamptey & Webster next to eachother is far too risky imo.
Veltman for one, probably Webster. Groß might take Tariq's spot too

Agree with those suggesting we need to be solid at the back for this. Veltman and Dunk CB with Gross RB for me, T dropping to the bench gives us options for later in the game.

Hope we go with one CF (Evan if fit). Jeremy deserves a start for me, in the absence of Lallana.

Something like this?

Sanchez
Lamptey-Webster-Dunk-Estupinan
Mac Allister-Caicedo
March-Groß-Mitoma
Ferguson
Subs: Welbeck, Steele, Veltman, Gilmore, Enciso, Sarmiento, Van Hecke, Buonanotte, Undav
Veltman for Lamptey would be my choice - and although it always seems to be Gross who gets left out when I'm picking a team (and RDZ then plays him, and he plays a blinder!) but I think I'd give Gilnour another run out, in that ACM role - he could inter-change with Mac as well.

I'd go with this but veltman for Lamptey. Ots tempting to match pace with pace but Veltmans just a much better defender who'll cope with pace by getting his positioning right.

Not a fan of Gross at RB personally and I hope he dispenses with 2 up front.

Gross shoe horned at right back, ostensibly because the manager wants him in the team, is one of those decisions that every piece of experience gained from watching 1000s of football matches tells you is going to be a terrible idea .....

.... but then Pascal plays brilliantly, the team play brilliantly and we find ourselves climbing up the league ..... it's difficult then to say too much about it

I think most the players pick themselves. It might be that, but question marks over:
-- the two right-sided defenders. Perm any two from Lamptey, Webster, Veltman and Gross (and that's assuming Colwill isn't fit, which might see his return to LCB with Dunk moving to RCB -- RdZ said in the Bournemouth press conference that he might be available)
-- moving Gross there could potentially free up that position for another attacking player (Sarmiento); on which Gross and Mac might swap from your line-up anyway
-- whether Ferguson can start

I was very disappointed by Lamptey again on Saturday against Bournemouth so I wouldn't be in any rush to start him and would go for Veltman at RB. I think the rest of the team picks itself and as much as I want to see Ferguson off the bench - I think we should and will start with the experience of Welbz.

I didn’t spot Ferguson, Welbeck, Lallana, Undav, Moder or Colwill (the last two as expected)

Edit: cursory glance while working, I didn’t spot them, they may be there
