I hope Cork is involved. Regardless of energy he's much more likely to keep the ball and pass to a Claret shirt than Brownhill.

I worry we will get overwhelmed in the middle of the pitch playing a 442 against their shape, formation and quality in the central midfield area. Hopefully our midfield is going to raise its collective game.

I’d go 4-5-1 and go for damage limitation, whilst trying to nick a set piece etc.

We barely have a single effective striker let alone 2.

Our midfield hasn't been reyt clever this season either, and you want to stick 5 in there.

I think there's certainly a case for packing the midfield considering the opposition

I was looking at the table yesterday and West Ham have conceded 19, just 2 fewer than us.

So 2 up top for me (even if none of them are scoring much :) )
