Not confident about that midfield, hope they prove me wrong.

Good to see Carlos back.

Ings will either score within 30, be knackered and not get close to the net again after 30 or all three.

Emery is brave/foolish to try Bailey again away from home after his no show at Everton. We will know after about 10 mins how that will go. Options limited in midfield with Kamara and the Donk out but I would have tried Chambers in there as the least worst option left.

Hard to know if it's the usual 4222 with McGinn out of position next to Luiz, that awful 433 or most likely I think the diamond 4 with Buendia at 10. If we had to stick with two up front, I'd much prefer giving Duran a start rather than Bailey. Moreno fortunate enough to retain his spot and I really hope it's not Buendia shoe horned over in front of him. Traore obviously not shining at training either but good to have Carlos back involved.

WHU seem to be going 4 at the back, 4231 with our old friends Ings leading the line. Start well and the crowd won't be long getting on Moyes and his teams back. We are going to need outstanding performances from the likes of Luiz and Watkins to get a result.

Surprised with the starting line up, I just assumed Chambers would be in for Kamara.

Although when Chambers came on last week he did give the ball away quite a bit.

Queueing is fun...

...and in the last 10 minutes have advanced about as far as an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping...

Bailey needs to work his fuckin bollocks off today.

[Percy McCarthy]

A brave line-up, if it works we could stroll it. I’m happy with it, but nervous. If we’re gonna go for it with an attacking line-up, like someone above says I’d prefer Duran to Leon

I'm stuck in a tapas bar on the Costa Brava so won't be watching. Let's have 3 points and no silly mistakes like not conjugating the verb 'hacer' correctly.
