This will be a fascinating game. The last two meetings between us were very feisty affairs resulting in wins for the away side.
In our last ten meetings, we've won four, drawn four and lost two.
Recent league form shows that they've won five in a row at home, we've won five in a row away. We're unbeaten in eleven, they're unbeaten in thirteen.
On these occasions, where something has got to give and with what is at stake, the matches are often tight with the fear of defeat dominating. To be fair, a draw would probably be acceptable to both camps so there is a strong chance that this is what will happen.
The other unknown is the two additional fixtures Florist have had in the ten days since our last outing. Will they be tired or on a roll? Will we be refreshed or off the boil?
A win for us would be magic. A huge big feck off to anyone hoping that we could blow our position. And a statement against the only side to beat us at home. A draw would be perfectly acceptable and keep the momentum up. A defeat would give them impetus and cause us to more seriously look over our shoulder.
I'd recall Moore and King for De Laet and Dyer. Florist's strength is their midfield and that was where they got an edge on us in November. I'd like us to play 4-3-3/4-5-1 to counteract this. I'm pretty sure we'll play the usual way though.
