Need a positive result at the same time as resting players for a big game sunday.
The next 4 prem games are all winnable, Brentford,Palace, Leeds and Wolves. It will determine whether we are in a fight or not. If we take 8/10 points out of the next 4 it could well see us safe far earlier.
So it is very hard which to prioritise considering the performance of our players who came in at Wrexham. Will Dyche give them another go, or field a really strong side?

TBF the slower tempo in Europe has suited the likes of Morato and Luiz.
I would imagine Savona, Morato, Luiz, McAtee, Bakwa, Ndoye, Yates will all start.

You don't think he'll go strong? I do. Same team as Saturday for me.

I would rather give Cunha a run out than Morato.
Neco Williams still needs managing, as does Anderson, and I suspect Sangare may need a rest after all of his travelling.

Just to add that this has probably been my most expensive of the four games in the group stage.

Apologies, I had wrongly recalled that he had played in some European stadium but it was Swansea in the Cup I was thinking about!
