Assuming that is the starting 11 for tomorrow what I like already about Ange is he seems to share the same view with the majority of us about our best 11.

I'd maybe swap Dier for Davies and Lo Celso for Hojberg. But Lo Ceslo may well want out?

Think Hojberg will play 6 and we get to see Bissouma as an 8. Ties in with what he said in the press conference about him as well, can play a variety of positions.

And, finally, a bit of team news ahead of Sunday's clash with Leicester 📋

Ange confirms he has an almost fully-fit squad with just young forward Dane Scarlett expected to miss out.

Ange: "Probably just Dane Scarlett, I think (he) is the only one (unavailable). Obviously a couple missed out the last game who are (now) available. We have a big squad here so not everyone will play but, apart from Dane, everyone is available."

The players that where training on there own in a smaller group from what i could see was Spence, Ndombele, Rodon and Sanchez.

I would think with the humidity Ange might decide to give players about 30 minutes to ensure that everyone gets some game time. Would certainly allow for Spence, Ndombele, White, Dier, Son and Whiteman to get some games minutes that way.

I just backed from Training session in Bangkok

Ange put Hojbjerg to No. 6 and tried to used Biss to no. 8

For B team Skipp was No. 6 while Sarr was no. 8
Solomon was the RW.

Just my opinion but I'm really interested in Perisic's story here.

Seemed to be wrapped up to agree his exit and head off back home. Still could well be the plan but for some reason I get this indication that they're holding on to him:

1. In case Kane does leave. Solomon/Perisic - Son/Richarlison - Deki/Gil(or signing?). Many may disagree with me but still a pretty strong front 6. Maybe we could have flexibility to spend big on a winger or ST (if Richarlison doesn't pan out)
2. Maybe Ange just really likes him - he looked really good in the first preseason game and the way Ange sets up he gets the ball in similar positions as he did as a wingback just without the defensive duties.

All just opinion and what ifs, but still a bit odd that Perisic is training/playing when an exit could be agreed upon.. but who knows
