Ross starts so hope he pulls his finger out, good to see Wes on the bench.

I’m stunned Ross Barkley is starting this game, let alone in the squad. Really disappointed in this.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Sigh. Bit disappointing to see Barkley back in and no Davis

Currently sat in my back garden and I’ve just heard the Blose fan next door say to his Mrs that Barkley is starting. I’m not sure what’s sadder, the fact he’s starting or the fact the neighbour must have been glued to the internet to see our starting line up!!!

Smith's taking a big risk starting Barkley.

He'll cop some serious flak if we don't win.

A win today takes us up to 9th, 30 points back of Man City with a game in hand. All to play for boys. UTV!!

El Ghazi normally plays well against the bitters. Here’s hoping for another purple patch!
