If you're going to do well in Europe you've got to play some good sides, so bring on Sevilla in the Europa League. With the second leg under the lights at the London Stadium anything could happen. Though the big worry is how the ailing squad gets through the rest of the season. Coufal is now out with a hernia but Johnson is a quality deputy. But in midfield and attack the options are limited. The Athletic has a revealing statistic that Rice, Bowen, Antonio and Fabianski are all in the top ten for most minutes played in the Premier League this season.
The relatively fresh Vlasic needs to come in and use his strength at some stage and you wonder what was the point of loaning Kral if he's deemed not good enough to start in the PL. By some miracle Antonio has remained fit all season but he's looking very tired and needs a rest, except we have no options bar Bowen. Still, to look at the big picture solidarity with Andrei Yarmolenko and Ukraine. Moyes has understandably given some Yarmy some time off. Though returning to the smaller picture, let's hope the team look a little fresher against Wolves tomorrow.
