I think Gomez should be given the nod to play vs the Hornets and Trent can get extra rest to start vs Benfica in the Champions League next week. Joe should feature with the likes of Van Dijk, Matip and Robertson in the back-line.
Brazilian international, Alisson Becker, was brilliant for the national side in the latest World Cup qualification fixtures and he must start in the goal.
