In the mad dance to celebrate Buendia's goal Pau came on the pitch sporting a large bag of ice strapped to his upper calf.

Without wanting to be disrespectful to West Ham, if we have players with niggling injuries it makes more sense to rest them against teams at the bottom of the league table.

We need to keep the squad fresh if we’re to keep up momentum at the business end of the season, and having players playing through injuries doesn’t achieve that imo.

Will take a draw now to break the winning run. Rather that than lose against those ****s next week!

It makes sense to leave them out when there's the rarity of a week with no game, give them the best chance of recovery.

Midfield's got to be on it today, especially when we lose the ball.

For those who are looking to watch on Sky, you can view the most in form side in the PL on Sky Sports Tennis. Because where else would we be?

I’m not sure Bizot is such a big upgrade on Olsen. Hope he proves me wrong and has a blinder.

We already know the most in-form side.

He’s a massive upgrade on Olsen. Yes he’s made a couple of gaffs on crosses but his overall shot stopping and distribution is a lot better.

I'd expect the Villa women to be on there seeing as they lost 6-1.

We are going have to weather the first 15 minutes. They’re going to come out strong after all the Billy bonds stuff.
