Man Utd XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba, Cavani.

Fulham XI: Areola; J Bryan, Adarabioyo, Ream; Lookman, Reed, Anguissa, Lemina, De Cordova-Reid; Cavaleiro, Carvalho.



Southampton XI: McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Vestergaard, Salisu; Tella, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Djenepo; Adams, Walcott. (Minamino & Ings on the bench)

Leeds XI: Casilla, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Alioski, Phillips, Dallas, Harrison, Rodrigo, Raphinha, Bamford.

No Minamino in the starting line up again, but with Southampton having nothing to play for it makes sense for them to use the players they know will be there next season.

So ideally what is the best result for us from the Chelsea Leicester game ? Or is any result a good one ?

[Jshooters]

Leicester win
Draw
Chelsea win

In that order

[tubby]

And if Chelsea win, it'd be ideal if they thrash them.

Any is a good result, so long as we win both ours, but I think a Leicester win is the better option on how the table stands, that keeps Chelsea only 1 pt above us, so if we beat Burnley, we go 2 clear of them. A Leicester win could mean that a win and a draw would be enough to get top 4. If Chelsea win, then a win at Burnley only puts us above Leicester of GD.

A draw is the best scenario, we win tomorrow and we claw back both teams, and could if results go our way on the last day like a Spurs win get us the 3rd spot.

We need to win both games touch wood.

[jillcwhomever]

So, is there a best result for us in this Leicester-Chelsea game?

Edit: Ignore just read the posts above.

Now if you could ask about the possibility of Chelsea finishing 5th but winning the Champions League Jill...

[Crosby Nick]

Basically if someone is winning 1-0 or 2-1, a last minute goal at either end would be good.

[jillcwhomever]

Now if you could ask about the possibility of Chelsea finishing 5th but winning the Champions League Jill...

It's getting way to complicated for me. 

[b_joseph]

Leicester win
Draw
Chelsea win

In that order

And if either team wins...for them to win by a shit ton of goals.

Would have been fun to see Old Trafford empty. Oh well.

[rob1966]

Are the Mancs singing about us yet?

[cdav]

No protest at United; have they managed to get rid of the Glazers since they played us?

Would surely be very easy to disrupt this game if they wanted. Forget bollocks about global audience, if they came on the pitch and dropped the game, even though it’s Fulham not Liverpool are they saying it wouldn’t make headlines around the world?

[gerrardisgod]

Why have they allowed them all to gather so close behind the goal and then spread out on the side stands?

[cdav]

Maybe they need their dear leader, Gary 'Che Guevara' Neville, to whip them up into a frenzy on behalf of his employer?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

SO is there a best result in this Leicester/Chelsea game?

[oojason]

Brighton XI: Sánchez, White, Webster, Burn, Gross, Alzate, Bissouma, Moder, Jahanbakhsh, Welbeck, Mac Allister.

Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez, Torres, Foden.

[Schmidt]

All results are good, better to just enjoy seeing how it pans out than fretting over only getting the second best of the good results.

[Oskar]

That's a great goal by Cavani.

[cdav]

If its not flicked on he is offside?

[gerrardisgod]

Good goal like.

But why the fuck is the commentator shouting so much?

[Phineus]

Cavani is class.

[cdav]

They haven't checked that properly at all, there is no touch but they are drawing the lines as if they were. It surely has to be drawn from when De Gea kicks it?

^ VAR checked the goal - and then allowed the goal to stand.

Referee: Lee Mason. Assistants: Simon Bennett and Adrian Holmes. Fourth official: Anthony Taylor. VAR: Simon Hooper. Assistant VAR: Matthew Wilkes.

[Dave McCoy]

He didn't touch it.  That's ridiculous.

[cdav]

No red for Fernandes there, last man?

[cdav]

Sky finally catching up, saying a bit of deserved luck

Surely VAR is there to get that right?!?!?

[Phineus]

Champions league VAR would have caught that.

Ours refs are so inept it’s just laughable at this point.

[DelTrotter]

Mad how it's always for the same team isn't it?

[slaphead]

I hate Cavani. I hate him because I used to absolutely love him. He was my favourite striker. Always backed him to be top scorer in World cups too. The bastard

[Crosby Nick]

Is it because the two of you look so alike?

[slaphead]

What ? Just seen the goal. Great finish but how the hell was that allowed to stand ? That's a joke that Var doesn't rule that out

[Zizou]

Wonderful player, always has been. I am choosing to ignore his current stint with them lot.

[keano7]

Scandalous that the goal is given when he’s clearly offside from De Gea’s kick. It’ll be overlooked as usual because it’s a quality goal but that’s not the point.

[cdav]

Mad how it's always for the same team isn't it?

Nah mate its honestly just a coincidence

Got to remember we also got a freekick incorrectly given to us in the centre circle the other day (that sky went on about for ages) so we can't complain!

Feeling a little lonely in here watching Southampton-Leeds
