Providing Wilf is fit again then we'll undoubtedly go back to 4-4-2. The trio of Wilf, Tekkers and Eze on the left was starting to bear fruit. Having an option like Mateta on the bench will offer something different if we need it and he can try and prove he is worthy of a start. After a poor showing at City I would go with the Arsenal line-up where I thought we played really well (I think this was the team that started): Ward Tomkins Kouyate Mitchell Andros McArthur Luka Eze Bentenke Wilf Key will be stopping Antonio and defending corners well. West Ham are playing well and look solid so this will be a real test

Vicente needs a rest after picking the ball out of the net so many times lately. Butland is a very capable deputy. If Benteke is back for goodness sake get some decent crosses in as the midfield is incapable of through balls on the ground (especially) and in the air. I'd like to see Eze get a more adventurous role with support from Schlupp and, if we dare risk him, PVA. Approaching the match like we did against Wolves and City will be fatal.

Yes they are winning games but only by the odd goal, and that's because of Antonio. Done the double over them last year, got a draw at there place this year, despite playing with 10 men for the last half hour. They are there for the taking, I can't stand there idiot fans, who think they are a big club, if you are prove it, as you should be beating our little club, comfortably.

Until we get some young energetic midfielders, who can run instead of passing 5 yards sideways, we will always get bossed in the middle.

If Zaha is unfit, I would like to see Eze playing in his preferred No 10 position with Benteke (preferred) or Ayew as the main forward. I would then have Reidewald as the left midfielder in front of Mitchell. Reidewald played okay as left back for a few games last season, so I see no problem having him in this position allowing Eze to play further up front? Annoyingly RH could have done this against Man City, so I don’t hold my breath on this happening. I guess if Zaha is fit then it will be a defensive Eze.?

Don't be silly. You've only picked one player out of position. Shove Benteke in for a sweeper as a replacement for the injured Sakho.

I still remember the obnoxious fat kid in a Spammers shirt who was jeering at Palace fans when we were stuck in traffic on the M4 on the way to Cardiff for the 2004 playoff. Made it all the sweeter when we won!
