I think we will. Now the 'Bad overcoated one' thinks he's won the mind games.
They are so cocky at the moment. I reckon wba will get something on wednesday too.

I am sure Pellers won't and will play his strongest available team.What will be of real interest is how he will set the team up to play against a Chelsea team that will play the same way as it did when they beat us 1 nil.
If he goes in just the same I expect we will lose but so far he does seem to have learned things the hard way and I hope he has learned from that defeat.
