For defense, Wesley Fofana na di only centre-back wey complete di full game against Napoli. So, di coach get plenty fresh legs wey fit help dem defend well. But midfield na d area wey dey give dem wahala. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo don dey tire after 90 minutes dem put for mid-week match, while Andrey Santos don still dey recover. Reece James too don dey play midfield sometimes, so e go still need some rest.
As di game don draw nearer, Rosenior don talk say e ready to face di challenge. E know say dem need win pass to secure dem place for di next round of di Champions League. Dem don learn lessons from di matches wey pass, especially di one against Arsenal wey dem lose.
