Tough game this one, these were right in the mix for a top 4 spot last year and a quarter of the way through this season they are doing well again.
We've had a good start, unbeaten and in 2nd place, but they are only 2 points behind us in 4th. There's an argument to be made that this is our toughest fixture of the season outside of games against the City's and Chelsea's.
Re injuries Bobby is out for 4+ weeks after walking off against Atletico with a hamstring injury and joins the likes of Naby, Milner and Gomez on the sidelines.
Let's win this one, nothing worse than a bad result just before an international break. Don't want these going above us.

We have a good record against Moyes but this is probably his best team    so far. We need a win here to make up the points Chelsea dropped as well as putting daylight between us and fourth.

We certainly need to capitalise with Chelsea dropping 2 points and if Burnley had taken their chances late on it could easily have been 3. City also look dangerous. Having said that we are not too shabby. This might seem a ridiculous thing to say at this stage of the season but it is really looking like almost every match needs to be treated like a cup final. This will be tough and we will need to be at our best. Would like to see Tsimikas start again.

Brighton at home was tough for us but this one will be a lot tougher. Normally I'd honestly expect a draw from this sort of game but I don't really think we can afford it after already dropping points against Brentford and Brighton.

Chelsea finally dropped points against a weaker side so we must use the opportunity to get back to only a point behind them.

Allison allowed himself to get bullied there.

Disappointed with Robbo's delivery from the flank, twice he pulled the ball back to no one, should have fired across goal.

Straightforward goal keeping error, he wasn't fouled.

Not only are we one down this is developing into one of those stop start games, 21 minutes on the clock and there's probably been about 8 minutes of football.

TAA should have shot then.

Yes and its really affected our fluency.

So much possession and yet our final ball is poor.

Who scored, my Bein player crashed and when I got it back up its 1-1

Get in Trent! Crucial goal because I don't think we could have scored any other way. Should be slightly different now that we're level.

Great goal. And at a vital time too, because west ham were parking the bus big time.

We'll go on to win this now.
