    Punting on captaincy this week; either going with Mitoma or Diaby.

    Which would you go for?

    Mitoma has the easier fixture but Diaby has Villa home form and had a rest midweek (whereas Mitoma played 90 mins)

        That's my concern too; leaning towards Diaby for this reason. Of Brighton's attackers Mitoma is the most nailed though. And that fixture...

      Hard one. If Bailey plays Diaby as he keeps more central, vs being pushed wide.

      Diaby IMO

    Really don't like the captaincy decision this week.

    Liverpool haven't been in amazing form, and Salah a tad peripheral. So has been good, but in a very affected Spurs XI. Haaland is Haaland, but Chelsea defence not awful. Saka a bit out of form, and potential rest.

    Gordon, anyone? 😆

      Surely regardless, you start Porro?

      Higher CS odds (even with defensive issues), attacking fullback and he will have a lions share of set pieces now Maddison is out.

        Not sure Spurs have a higher chance of a CS than Liverpool who are at home.
        Porro is probably more attacking though:-)
