Not injured

Wasn't there something about his nana passing away just a day or so before the Chelsea game?
 
Buckley & Coates? Jesus......

Awful shame that AJ is injured (presumably he is), he was good against Chelsea. Maybe Buckley can cause them problems with his direct running and whip in a few crosses. And then maybe spring Ricky from the bench.

Thought Brown would start this one... but a few people did mention that Coates might start. He was dire on his debut, let's hope he's better. Big stage.
 
To be honest, Coates would need to be a right clownshoe to be worse than Brown has been for the majority of the season. If O'Shea was out I'd be a lot more arsed.

Rodwell's inclusion I'm more concerned about. He needs to up his game because he hasn't looked like a Premier League footballer
 
The centre of their defence looks a lot weaker than usual due to injuries.

Could be a good time to play them.
