DMC) Joe Allen
With Lucas suspended, Allen starts in holding midfield. He was excellent in the Europa League and deserves his Premier League opportunity.
MRC) James Milner
We need to see the Milner that played at the Etihad and not the one we saw at Anfield on Thursday. At his lung-busting, harrying best, he’s a real asset to the side. But we haven’t seen it enough this term.
MLC) Emre Can
Rested against Bordeaux, Can should be ready to take on the likes of Jack Cork in the middle. Thankfully for us, our former youngster Jonjo Shelvey is suspended.
