Pre-game

Probably the most surprising team selection of the season.

The back-five is gone and we have an extra attacker in the return of Bellegarde.

Rayan Ait-Nouri is back in the squad, but only fit enough for a place on the bench, but I'm surprised to see Bueno join him.

The idea I assume is to start quickly, hopefully get a goal ahead and then shut up shop later in the game.

It's been a while since we've seen Toti at left-back, but he's had some strong games there, especially at home.

No Sa (shoulder) means another quick opportunity for Dan Bentley who did very well in both the Arsenal defeat and the Burnley victory.

West Ham United's Jarrod Bowen scores

Well the idea of getting a goal ahead went firmly out of the window early on.
