I think we'll do alright. Extra days rest may help.

 

Think he should go back to the Gayle up top championship formation we had, shore up this gap in the middle. Teams will think they can score now, just make it hard for them and counter.

I'd say we've shown a fair bit of spirit in the last two games, certainly not as bad as previously. We just need a half where we avoid any soft goals and see what happens. Glad there's a game so soon after Leicester.

 

Spirit is undoubtedly there, it's just that frequently losing leads does have a negative impact on self belief.

Lascelles, though not the best player around, does bring something to the team in terms of belief that no one else seems to.

Very tough one to predict in terms of lineup, this one. I'd like to see:

 

Woodman

Yedlin Lascelles Clark Dummett

Murphy Shelvey Merino Atsu

Mitrovic Gayle

 

Given that this is obviously not going to happen, I'll predict the following:

 

Darlow

Manquillo Lascelles Clark Dummett

Murphy Shelvey Merino Atsu

Joselu Gayle

 

Biggest question mark is over Dummett's ability to start, if he can't then I think we'll just see Yedlin RB and Manquillo LB. Outside chance of Clark LB with Lejeune moving to LCB. Ritchie also under serious threat from Murphy after recent performances and his little tiff with Rafa, but might be given another chance to put it right.
