TODAYS TEAM NEWS CCFC : THREE CHANGES

A couple of big calls, including Callum Robinson's omission. He has been nursing an Achilles problem and it looks like that has got the better of him today.

Another big omission is Calum Chambers. There has been no indication of an injury to him but we can only presume that's the reason he's not in the side today.

So it sees a forward line of El Ghazi, Willock, Colwill and Tanner - how that quartet lines up remains to be seen, potentially two false nines in Colwill and Willock? Or El Ghazi as more of a target due to his size? Interesting.

Siopis drops to the bench and it's a big boost for the Bluebirds to see Alex Robertson recalled into the starting XI after injury.

Robinson obviously injured which is a massive blow.

Hope we're not playing with no striker again, would make sense for El Ghazi to play as the striker.

Brilliant that Robertson is back.

Harsh to drop Chambers.

Good to see Daland back but difficult to see why Chambers is dropped, unless he has an injury…?

Otherwise, the return of Robertson is a boost and improves our chances no end…!

Just seen Chambers isn't even on the bench, must be injured.

Chambers has an illness

Does this forward line show a lack of faith in our other (available) strikers…?

Robertson in is a big boost…!

Stuggling with injuries aren't we

Robinson big miss today really happy Robertson is back think he makes our midfield play more solid daland good replacement for chambers I think 2-0 win today fingers crossed

I think the good thing about a loss is that players can be dropped without much resistance, I know chambers hasn't been too bad but he still is dodgy at times.

Very happy to see the daland goutas partnership I think the added pace is going to be key, I was expecting to see etete today

The bench is awful.

Reindorf could have come in today rather than willock as a striker ffs.
