The players in the squad that are in xhaka's corner are in a no lose situation today - win and they will loudly declare that they did it for him, but if we lose they will claim that he was a big loss in the midfield

I know it applies most weeks, but today especially the first goal will be crucial - concede first and the atmosphere will be poisonous and a defeat will be a certainty.
This is a game that might be ideal for ozil - neves is their deep lying midfielder and neither of them will be arsed to mark the other. Dedonker will be worry in midfield for me - a big strong lad who will make dangerous runs forward if not tracked. I dont trust the douzi to be disciplined enough to track his runs, but I would also have concerns about torreira being physically strong enough for him.
Attitude and work-rate of our front 3 will likely decide the game - if they are bang at it with movement and work-rate I am confident that we will win, but if they are in another lazy mood I suspect zero points will come our way
