Disagree with Gabby being in for Gil, but unless he plans to play Cleverley or Delph wide that looks like a change of system to me, with Gabby and Sinclair wide of Benteke. Solid and counterattacking. I like that, if so.

Hutton or Lowton at left back?

And... Agbonlahor... why?

[Smirker]

2-0 Newcastle.

[Fin Feds Dad]

Pleased to see Lowton back - sick and tired of seeing Gabbys name though.

[Ozzjim]

Looks like an attempt to play on the counter hence Gabby

[PaulWinch again]

Well this must be last chance saloon for Gabby. I've no idea how he starts all the time. But he owes us several match winning performances.

I hope Lowton has the game of his life, best crosser of the ball at the club. He was instrumental in assisting Bentekes tally that first season.

[Monty]

Cisse and Ameobi for Newcastle - 4-4-2? I hope so, because if we're playing the 4-3-3 we can really get on top of them in the middle of the pitch. They also might be more open and vulnerable to our counter, which looks quite quick today.

Gabby? After last week? Really?
