I don’t like playing these lot, bit like playing Swansea it often never ends well for us. Have only achieved one double over them in the previous six seasons they’ve been in the Premier League.
It’s good that there’s no Mitoma available. But Adingra is just as capable of giving us grief…they are good on the counter and they are hard to press because they are good on the ball
Also they haven’t lost at home since August. And they’ve only lost three times at home since we last won there on the last day of 2022
It’s a definite must win, and it’s really not the type of fixture you want as a must win
This game is a giant Bear Trap, get past it with three points and we set ourselves up nicely
Stumble and we possibly end up bleeding out
Would be nice to have Martinelli and Saka back for this one.
