Loan players can't play against their parent clubs.
I know it is not usually allowed but it happens from time to time (or at least it did). If I remember correctly we were allowed to play Anthony Gerard against Cardiff (his parent club) and we allowed Seyi Olofinjana to play for them against us (his parent club) in the same match - and of course Olofinjana scored against us. Maybe the rule has now been changed?

It used to at the discretion of the parent club, but it was causing problems, so they made it a fixed rule that no loan player could play against their parent club.
 
I'd like Marco to start with two up front, although the odds are against it, but we cannot sit back against an in-form Everton team. Rather than partnering Abel with the inexperienced Bowen however why not put the speedy and skilful Markovic up top. He has shown an ability to make the incisive short passes and certainly has the speed to get on the end of Abels through balls and would keep the defense honest. Also Elmo provides better defensive cover to Omar on the right, which is a weakness of Lazar, and can put in good crosses and is strong in the air.

I'd like to see

Jakupovic

Omar Ranocchia Maguire Robertson

Elmo Huddlestone Clucas Grosicki

Markovic Hernandez

Marshall Davies Tymon Ndiaye Hendriksen Diomande Bowen

One question...is Huddlestone out with his 5th yellow last week. Tiger Player commentator said he is...but was he wrong??? If he is Ndiaye in.
