      Not just yet what with Auba and Kane's great upcoming fixtures and the wealth of the City midfield to factor in, will reassess in a couple weeks and keep a sharp eye on Kun.

      Luiz if you have the $$ and no other Chelsea defence for sure, if not then Kolasinac, if no Robbo then perhaps Lovren? Digne i'd consider in a couple weeks after Toffee's have gotten City and Spurs out of the way but not before.

        No Alonso and I have Bellerin so gone Luiz. Feels more boring than Kola but can be confident he’ll keep his spot and I think his clean sheets will outscore any Kola attacking returns, especially with Chelsea’s fixtures.

    If someone is looking for a 5.6 midfielder you should look at Milner. He’s going to be playing RB in Trent’s absence. He’s on penalties and Liverpool’s fullbacks push really high up. Could be assists there as Trent normally plays a lot of passes to Salah.
