Ederson:

Despite the below stats that circulated social media this week, Eddie is our number (3)1.

Walker:

It’s a toss up, Rico deserves to keep his spot. However, it’s going to be a tough task containing the Spurs counterattacks.

Dias:

With Stones out for 3-4 weeks, we could see Dias return to the starting line up.

Laporte:

By far our best ball playing CB with Stones out. Going to be crucial for build up play against a packed bus, I mean defence.

Ake:

Currently UNDROPPABLE.
