Right, what do we think then folks - keep things the same or shake up some of the personnel for perhaps some much needed rotation?
It's a slight quandary as injuries permitting, the side more or less picks itself but only Harry and the coaching staff can deduce whether to rest certain players, notably Parker, or not.
What must help us is having not only an extra days rest than West Brom, but they will have played two games in little over 48 hours which coupled with less tangible factors like them losing their match late on, so mentally and physically they may be completely drained for an encounter with us at WHL. Also it looked like Chris Brunt will be injured as he hobbled off in injury time so that's another boost for our cause.
All in all, I would change things slightly and rest Parker and VdV and bring in Pienaar and Kranjcar with also a possibility of bringing King back into the fold for Gallas which would leave us with;
Friedel
Walker Kaboul Gallas/King BAE
Pienaar Sandro
Kranjcar Modric Bale
Adebayor
