for us. We've been poor of late and although we battled hard for 94 of the 95 minutes we never really looked like winning on Monday. Sunday, Norwich will be difficult as they put the ball in the box a lot. We don't tend to deal that well with teams like this but at least we'll not have the worry being countered like Arsenal did to us on Monday.
Ben Arfa has to start. He looks the sharpest he has since he's been back and is grafting a lot more. Obertan has to be dropped to the bench. He just gets in the way of things. Jonas has to pull his finger out. I'm not sure if he's just knackered or what but he's been v poor the last 3 games even with his goal V Wolves. Cisse back in? Maybe. He is still finding his feet but he's still a better option starting than Shola. And on Santon it's a bit of a worry he was hauled off again at HT. Maybe we'll start Perch lb who did a decent job there. Ultimately I'd rather Santon rb ahead of Simpson and Perch lb but it's very unlikely.
Likely Team:
Krul
Simpson Williamson Colo Santon/Perch
HBA Cabaye Tiote Jonas
Ba Cisse
Subs: Whoever isn't injured.
Norwich game must win

I actually think Norwich could sneak it. 2-1.
Hope you finish above Liverpool though, you deserve to, been miles better than them all season.
We'll try and beat them for you in May

I also can see them sneaking it the way we've been lately. Hopefully we are up from it from start to finish. This game sets the tone for our run in.

If HBA and Ba are on it, we'll storm it... as long as Williamson doesn't play like he will
2-1

Not only do we have to win game we have to play well. We have been dreadful lately. I'd drop Williamson and play Perch at CB, when he's played there he's looked better than Williamson. If Raylor is fit i'd drop Santon and play Raylor at LB. HBA must start he lookely lively against Arsenal.
