Vassel out. Angel doubtful. Solano suspended. On the upside Mellberg`s back and Keane`s out for Utd. I can see a 1-1 draw here.
Sorensen, J-Lo, Useless, Ollie, Ronnie (or Ridgewell), Hitz, McCann, Hendrie, Barry, Crouch, Angel (or Allback).

Why is Angel doubtful?

Why is Angel doubtful?
I think he picked up a knee injury at Southampton last week.

I agree that this one looks like a draw... but man three points would be nice, just to ensure our spot in Europe next season.

If the UEFA cup format as changed to the way I think it has, with two group stages, then it could be important for us to qualify for it. With a good draw in the first round and some ok results in the first group stage we could end up playing 16 games in Europe without even getting to the Q/F`s! If I`m right about the new format that is.

This link shows the new format. Get through the first round and 12 games are easily possible, with 19 games to get to and including the final.
