Amazed Normann isn't starting, but otherwise pretty happy! Stones, Laporte, Cancelo on the bench for City makes for a slightly unsettled defence for them, and no KDB either. Really hope that we can capitalise!
That must be the setback in training mentioned. Hopefully not too serious. In other games Watford lost at home 0-2 to Brighton and Brentford v Palace ended 0-0.
Given Idah's injury, a fairly predictable line-up. But I doubt if the long-ball will work as well without Idah to hold it up. It's going to be a long evening, I think.
It will be interesting to see if Gilmour can shine against less agricultural in style opposition. I’m not sure I like him as a deep lying midfielder though.
Smith said he wouldn't play two strikers against top 6 teams so don't think he would start anyway. Very pleased to have Sargent back though.
Good god we are getting torn to shreds defensively. Virtually waving them through. Luck is holding for the moment.
