Given all the debate around centre backs, we actually appear to have a choice for Friday! The need for height would suggest Cooper and Pontus together again, but he seems to really like Berardi in that position. Ill go for Pontus and Cooper but, Berardi and Pontus wouldn't surprise me!

Agreed, never thought how impressed i'd be this year by cooper but I'm actually looking forward to seeing him play, he's not done badly in the bigger games like stoke and derby, and that was alongside Berardi a makeshift cb. He seems to really rate Berardi which I can understand because he's got good distribution and is firm in the challenge, maybe that's all bielsa cares about from a centre half. think jansson will start even though it will be his 3rd 90 minutes in 6 days, but that's football and there's no point whinging. can't wait to see coops and pontus at the back, and I think the more they gel with BPF the better he will become as a keeper. douglas and ailing back thank god, two of my favourites in the team. need a big performance in the wings, as I think our wing backs will be fine. I imagine they'll play Braithwaite and downing on the wings, and their full back aren't great George friend is past it and Christie is championship at best, its in the middle of the park around clayton besic and howson that we need to be weary. Que Mateusz klich.

Looks like Braithwaite wants to be off to Spain before tomorrow night.
