The team picks itself IF Cresswell and Lanzini are fit. Otherwise Moyes has some big decisions to make.
How many more games does Rice need to try and somehow avoid getting a 5th yellow card before he’s suspended?
Rice has to get beyond match week 19 cautionless which is the Saints at home on Boxing Day before the booking tally is reset to zero to avoid a ban. That's 4 league games and the league cup QF.

If you could pick, maybe he could pick up a yellow in the last few mins against Arsenal, miss Norwich, be fresh for Spurs!!!

He's actually already agreed to go on one of those box to box surging runs, ball at feet, before scoring a goal that would make Ricky Villa proud, and then running full pelt to the away fans, before throwing his shirt into them
As good as Cornet has looked - I suspect that this is a freakish run he's on, not unlike those of Papiss Cisse and Tony Yeboah years ago when every shot they had seemed to find its way into the back of the net no matter what range. It won't last and probably will never be repeated.

If he had to miss one of those games, you'd definitely pick Narch at home everytime. I'm with you and PM on this one.

Agreed, he looks superb. Kind of evens out our missing defenders. Wood is a good centre forward but I trust Dawson and Diop to handle him.
Dawson was made for these sort of games but Diop really does concern me vs Burnley. Can he remained switched on for 90 mins while they continually whip / float balls into the box? I really hope he doesn't look at one of his team mates to blame if it's him who loses his man. Other than that I hope he has a cracking game.
