Yet another tough match for the lads but perhaps not a bad time to play them. I understand they have a game on Thursday in the Europa League and have a tight playing schedule over the coming weeks. Benetez was on the box saying what a small squad (!) they have and how he had to rotate players to avoid burn out. I hope Di Canio has the team pumped up for this and they get stuck in to Chelsea. I'd like to think a surprise result is possible, a point would be great in our situation but can we dream of something more? As an old Chelsea player used to say: "Football's a funny old game."
