A bit like with our games at Southampton, Man Utd and Swansea, I feel Tim is fortunate in that we are playing these at a good time when their key players are injured/suspended and they are on a bad run (this isn't meant as a dig at Tim, more a general observation with some relevance to our results under him to keep feet on the ground).
Think I'm right in saying Saudi Sportswashing Machine will be without Coloccini, Tiote and Remy, as well as obviously Cabaye who was good at the Lane when they won. We on the other hand have just about everyone back from injury now, so no excuse not to win this.
My team would be: LLORIS WALKER DAWSON VERTONGHEN ROSE CAPOUE DEMBELE LENNON ERIKSEN TOWNSEND ADEBAYOR
Not even a big fan of Andros but I feel Eriksen is wasted out on the left, get him inside, especially as they are missing their defensive midfielder. No chance of Capoue playing over Bentaleb or/and Paulinho but I gotta keep my fingers crossed just incase.
Again I reckon this will depend on if Ade turns up. If he does, we will win, if not then probably not. One thing for sure is we won't win by more than one goal, but I have a good feeling we'll get the job done 0-1 or 1-2.
