Worried about today’s game, I’m not convinced by the team selection. Burnley are having a good season, hope they’re aren’t underestimated.

Lallana and Solanke linked up superbly in pre season so i am optimistic to see them start together for the first time this season.

I can see today being the day Solanke opens his account and i wouldn't be surprised if it's a header from a dinked Lallana pass!

Good team selection, best team to play in derby 👍.

You have to give the players a rest during a busy period of games. I will take any sort of win at all. As long as we continue our momentum. Plenty of changes up front today, Mane to score but i think it might be a draw, which won't be the worst result i guess.

No Coutinho and Salah is a huge concern. Given they are our biggest goal threats and we’ve struggled against Burnley on many occasions. The worst thing is that the lack of Coutinho in the Matchday squad as it implies that it’s now a done deal.

Why change the keeper again. I just don’t get it 😕.

I knew fans would read into this that he's as good as gone.
It's a reasonable rotation given how close the fixtures are at this time of year.

We will see him in a red shirt again, hopefully until May.
This team is strong enough to give Burnley a game. The change in set up may well prove to be the advantage.

Mane needs a goal, as does Solanke and would expect them to be hungry today.

Irish - why do you say a draw wouldn't be a bad result? I just don't get it. We are playing Burnley, their team probably costs less than we paid for the OX. We have already had 8 draws in the league we can't afford many more dropped points.

I think we will need to get 80 points to get in the top 4 so no we can not afford to drop any more points in games we should be winning.
