Bad news for Sunday is that our Italian stallion Alessandro Diamanti appears to have a 'hip' problem and so will not be on the pitch at any point. It is expected he will be back for the Burnley game next weekend however. I suppose that means Noble comes back in and Behrami moves to the right. Or Hines goes in his place, but I don't like to see him shoved out on the wings, quick though he is. Looks like Illunga will be out too, Jonathan Spector does not disgrace himself when coming in to do a job and am sure he will cover there sufficiently. But sounds like Carlton Cole is definitely back, a big plus...comer on you Irons, let's have three crucial points this weekend!

We really need this one. 0 points is almost curtains for us even at this early stage.
