    Only acceptable outcome is a commanding win.

    Hopefully see a few positive changes in the team.
    Kel needs to start. Done well handling his time so far but need him up to top speed asap
    I'd like to see tounekti on the right but think forrest will start with tounekti on the left.
    Midfield is where the changes need to happen but only 1 will and I see hatate being benched with engels stepping in.

    KT played 90+ and another 80+ there so I'd maybe start Saracchi

    Kasper
    Donovan, ccv, scales, KT
    Engels, McGregor
    Tounekti, nygren, Balikwisha
    Ihaenacho

    I know that's unlikely, but I'd like us to go for that
    Chances are Nygren is brought back a bit as a central mid, Hatate plays next to him and we persist with CalMac playing too deep. Both Nygren and Hatate then get caught trying to do the same role, but neither excelling in what they both could be doing - supporting the striker/attack and having CalMac a few yards up to play the tempo of the game.

    I'd try tounekti out right to see what Balikwisha can do for a game on the left. We need to try sort something to find a sense of balance and speed/energy in the wide areas and thus the attack.
    Ihaenacho needs a start to see how he gets on.

    Backline, when is Trusty due back? I'd have him over Scales but if he's not ready yet, that's fine.
    Was tempted for Sarrachi over KT, but not sure this is a game we want too many trials happening.

    Harsh on Scales, he fully deserves his place, been our best player this season.

    I think 4-2-3-1 would work well for the balance of the midfield, but Rodgers isn't changing it up. Best we can hope for is a freshen up of personnel in the midfield.
