Lose this and the owners will be getting very twitchy.

I really doubt it

The only twitch will be in BCV's trousers.

How pacy is their team?

I'd like to see us go back to the high line and energetic pressing. Bully them into giving us the ball high up the pitch. Not let them get comfortable and make sure they know who the newbies and who the top 6 team are. We have it in us to do this I'm sure...

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Elliot, Kamara, McGinn, Sancho, Rogers, Watkins

I think this is where Emery will land. Attacking lineup obviously but likes of Rogers and Elliot can rotate during the game.

The question for me is, do we have the fight in us to win this one?
Having Kamara back is a bonus but we have to show some fight and resilience. I haven’t seen that so far so hopefully we suddenly show up on Sunday.

I saw plenty of fight and resilience against Newcastle and Everton. Just not  enough quality.

Not confident. It's been over eight years since they last lost a Premier League game at home.

One of those 'orrible ones like when we beat O'Neill's Sunderland early last decade, 0-1.

We cant lose. No we MUST not lose this. It would be a complete  disaster. With the fixtures we have had it would be really poor if we fail yet again to win

I agree - think it will be a draw though.
