GujiMadDog England 06 Feb 21 11.43am
With Leeds having one of the worst defensive records in the division this should be a good time to blood Mateta. However with Wilf out I suspect RH will employ his familiar risk averse tactics. Especially after the not so recent thrashings by the Scousers and Villa. Expect Benteke and Townsend to start with us soaking up the pressure hoping for a lucky break. I doubt the 'lucky break' will come. No wilf, no attacking threat. I see our defence constantly being put under pressure until they eventually buckle. If they score early we could be in for a hiding... 2 Nil to Leeds.

Expect Benteke and Townsend to start with us soaking up the pressure hoping for a lucky break. I doubt the 'lucky break' will come. In theory Eze is well placed to profit from the spaces left by an on rushing Leeds team. However, I fear RH's risk averse tatics stifling Eze's instincts into extinction. Bottom line is no wilf, no attacking threat. That leaves a defence constantly under pressure, until it eventually buckles. It'll come as no surprise when they eventually make mistakes. If they score early we could be in for a hiding... And yet my glass is not completely empty. Just half empty. 2 Nil to Leeds.

We are one of the form teams in the league. Only four clubs in the PL can boast current back-to-back league victories. Us, Man City, Chelsea and South Coast Scum, but hopefully their run comes to an end today.

Leeds blow hot and cold but can seriously put the goals away on the right day. At the same time though I see plenty of weaknesses at the back for us to exploit if we're having a good day. I'm going with 2-2.

God I'd love us to win without Wilf for once but I have a very nasty feeling that Bamford will play a blinder. I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.
