I know the game is still a fair bit of time away, but would be interested to hear peoples views.
We've struggled to get wins against the top sides this season, with Hull (H) and Ipswich (A) our only victories against the top 8. Having said that we have only lost to Middlesbrough (H), Ipswich (H) (both injury ridden) and Cardiff (A). For me, it's a careful balancing act, it's a game which we can't afford to lose (imo) but a win would give us a huge boost for the rest of the season.
I would go with a somewhat defensive starting line up of..
------------------------Stockdale----------------------------
Bruno-----------Dunk-----------Goldson-----------Bong
Rosenior-------Kayal---------Stephens----------Murphy
------------------Hemed--------Baldock---------------------
But with the likes of Wilson, LuaLua, Knockaert, Skalak on the bench we could change things up.
