Im sure as the season kicked off we all thought the best case scenario was wed be going into this game needing something from it but of course things have worked out a lot better than that, and its nice to be going into the seasons final kickings being a keen observer of the issues at either end of the table. That said, theres still a lot to play for for some players its a chance to prove to Le Bris and Ghisolfi theyre the solution for next seasonso it should be a good game at the ridiculously named Hill Dickinson Stadium. And, theres the opportunity to ruin David Moyes day, which should never be passed up. So, after last weeks excellent display against Manchester United, will we see an unchanged team, or will Regis make a change or two? Heres what we think. Goalkeeper: Robin RoefsRoefs will be in goal today returning to the scene of his penalty heroics earlier in the season!Defence: Lutsharel Geertruida, Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete, ReinildoGeertruidas selection last week was a real surprise, and its a pretty bizarre situation all told, but he was brilliant and deserves to keep his place in the side today. The rest of the defence really picks itself in the absence of Ballard, with Mukiele and Alderete continuing their partnership, and everyones favourite player from Mozambique at left back. Midfield: Nilson Angulo, Granit Xhaka, Enzo Le Fee, Noah Sadiki, Chemsdine TalbiTrai Hume had a mixed game last time out and it wasnt really his fault he was shown lacking in the attacking third, but thats not his game, and we really need to get more threat out wide. That responsibility could fall to Nilson Angulo, who was at the center of controversy last weekend for an ill-advised but pretty soft arm across Bruno Fernandes face, which the Portuguese international used to desperately try and get his opponent sent off. The midfield three picks itself, which is bad news for Habib Diarra, and Talbi should get another chance on the left. A wildcard could be Jimmy Ta Bi, who Le Bris obviously likes and has been on the bench in which case Ta Bi would play right and Angulo left. Forward: Brian Brobbey Brobbey had another excellent game last weekend, and was just lacking a goal. Hopefully hell rectify that for today.
