    Seeing people getting marmoush on wc, is this just a short term pick because we don’t know if Haaland is out and if so how serious it is. He could be back for the dgw meaning marmoush mins could be limited?

      I think he'll probably get 70 to 80 minutes - I think this is due to both his ear injury and general match fitness.

      I've decided to avoid him as I really don't rate their fixtures (excluding Southampton this week) plus the above.
