    Firmino bench. Salah, Mane, TAA, Robertson all start.

    Perfect.



    The only issue is City next.

    Got Martial in on Saturday when I lost patience with Maddison, but will probably leave him on the bench against city and play Ings against Watford instead.

    Pereyra and Sigurdsson also look like good options around that price.

    Talking about leaving the most in form player in FF on the bench - madness

    Got double city defense with Mendy and Ederson so seeing Martial score would be no enjoyment and reckon Ings has a much better chance of scoring against Watford. Wouldn't be the first mistake of the season if it does not work out.

    Be better than him scoring and being on your bench no?

    I assume you spent the money on Mendy for his attacking abilities so wouldn't necessarily see him as a defender for this game, therefore it's Ederson v Marital. As bad as United may have been for most of the season, everything good in the last 4/5 games has come through Marital, and this is a Derby game - more than likely city will score, so United will have to score. Just remember last season 2-0 down at half time and came back to win 3-2.

    Can you bench anyone else?

    Fairly happy to leave it as:
    Ederson
    Alonso, Mendy, Trippier, Robertson
    Mane,Hazard(c), Richarlison
    Aguero, Arnautovic, Ings

    Could see it as being a very defensive game from Josie with a 0-0 or a narrow city win the most likely result in my opinion. I agree leaving Martial on the bench might be the wrong decision, but city have a much better defensive record than Watford and Ings looked fairly sharp in the highlights of the game against city.

    Richarlison may be out for the weekend making all this head scratching redundant.
