I think Twitchy is going to swamp the midfield and also sneak in Gomez and King. I was also kindly reminded in the other thread about Corluka not being available which I think is a blow because I don't rate him.

--------------------------Gomez------------------------

Kaboul-------Dawson--------King-------Assou-Ekotto

Lennon-------Palacios--------Huddlestone-------Bale

-------------------------Modric--------------------------

------------------------------Defoe

The only other difference I could see to this is he might play Crouch/Pavlyuchenko with Defoe as opposed to Modric in the hole.

I wouldn't fancy Corluka's chances against Bellamy either but luckily they have Kaboul. Luckily for us that is cos he's shite.

I would imagine that's more or less the team but in the last game v Spurs, we dealt so badly with Crouch that if I was Harry I'd be very tempted to start him. Especially after he's watched a video the enormous Carew run past Toure twice in spite of moving & turning like an oil tanker on dry land. If he can lumber past Toure then they'd expect Crouch to do the same as well as winning headers.

not sure king will be fit after just playing on saturday - my guess is bassong for king and pavy for palacios, moving modric in central midfield in a rather traditional 4-4-2
