Morning chaps,
Don't know if you watched the awful game on Monday but it was soporific at best so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. Big Sam will Big Sam a team of extremely talented footballers into a squad of cloggers tout de suite.
If we are as off our game against you as we were against Everton we may come unstuck. I think it was a bit of complacency on our part, thinking our recent form was a excuse to lose focus.
I don't think there are any injuries to our lads but I wouldn't be surprised if we rotated a bit. Maybe rest a couple? If not we'll line up like;
Dubravka
Yedlin Lascelles Lejeune Dummett
Shelvey Diame
Ritchie Perez Kenedy
Slimani
If we do rotate, Mbemba or Clark may get a run out, Merino might be in the centre, Murphy might start on the right? Slimani, Dubravka and Kenedy will all definitely start though.
I think we'll show up for this one, but if you play as well against us as you did against much, much better sides, you have a decent shout of getting at least a point.
If you'd like any travel/parking/food/pub advice, let me know.
