Let him start in Lanzini’s spot against Leicester and let Lanzini recover from that groin pull.

Give them a first team chance. They probably will play hard for the badge because they still feel they need to improve to be able to play for the first team. Meanwhile our first team have always hung up their boots for the season. Lets also cheer on the Ladies team! FA cup final!

Holland has already made his senior debut, after playing the last half hour in the 3-0 win over Bolton in the Carabao Cup last campaign.
Since then, though, the closest he has come to first-team action was being named on the bench for the cup ties against AFC Wimbledon in both the FA Cup and League Cup.
Pellegrini doesn’t shy away from giving youngsters chances as we have already seen. Declan Rice, Grady Diagana and Ben Johnson have all been afforded opportunities by the Chilean.
Has Holland done enough to be the latest academy player to make his breakthrough at senior level? We shall have to wait and see.
