        Really? Either would certainly be a differential. Antonio at a push but DCL rarely hauls.

          Yea just joking really though I am torn between Antonio and lukaku myself. Going with Lukaku as that match is on tv. I’d probably go Ron if I was you, even if he gets 20 mins likely to score you’d think!

      No reason to think Raph won't start but ESR still doubt. I would probably avoid Torres for that reason. Assuming you don't have Tsimi then Jota is a good option, otherwise plenty of options. I like Mount to set you up for GW7 and he could easily get something against Spurs and even City.
