I disagree with the lads on the other thread-I think this is a must win. Not because 'it's only Huddersfield' but because a defeat combined with other results could put us back into the scenario where another loss could put us back into the bottom 3 and that brings a whole new level of pressure. A win, however would put us within a win of possible safety (although I still think a team may go down on 38 points).

Good news already-Joselu is injured. Let's not pretend he offers anything to the team, folks-his job is to score goals and he's utterly shite at that. Slimani is available rather than fit which is why I wouldn't start him even though Gayle is clearly going through a massive crisis of confidence. He's not very good to start with but I like the lad and hope he scores this afternoon for his own good not just the team's. As you'll know, I'd rather play Murphy behind Gayle as opposed to Perez but Rafa doesn't seem keen on him.

We should have enough to win this one, especially if Diame and Shelvey play as well as they have recently. If things aren't going as planned, I hop Rafa makes the changes a bit earlier than usual. I'm going for Perez to get subbed on 68 minutes with everyone saying 'why has it taken so long'
