    Brighton are really going for it, with their XI.

    Two strikers, three attacking midfielders. No back five, no two holding CMs. I suppose them having defensive minded FBs is the only thing which is prevented them from being classed as all-out-attack.

    Bissouma is excellent - maybe their only player who a big club might look at pouching from them - but he could have his work cut out to not be really exposed today.

    I am surprised that a few on here are surprised that we have put out a full team.

    Whilst I think we have little or no chance of going down, we can't afford to let anyone below us gain ground on us, so we were alway going strong.

    That said, happy with that line up and like last week, I am in the lounge (we only win when I am there) instead of the front room as I have let Mrs No7 have a rest in bed until 2pm as it's Mother's Day :)

    Interesting that Brighton have gone with having Keegan managing them for the day.

    Agreed on Bissouma. Some player.

    Let's hope they don't start finding that skill today then! Went to bed last night feeling calm, watched Lee Westwood show how the game of golf should be played and had no worries. Why do I not feel quite the same now?!

    Armstrong vs Burn is critical.

    Ugh. BBC have chosen Hughes as their pundit- right now he’s talking about JWP being one of the best players he’s worked with - could have sworn he struggled to get picked regularly (have I misremembered??)

    I feel like Welbeck always scores against us.

    Brighton starting almost with 6 pushed forwards when we have it at the back. They know we are going to try and play out. I’d like to see us go longer for a few minutes to scare them deeper
