Tractor Boy in peace here.

Excited to visit your world class FOOTBALL stadium for the first time (we’re still recovering from how poor the London Stadium was). On paper it’s a home win and 3 points for you.

Note that you got back in early this morning to Luton, but given the amount of players you rested and a Sunday game can’t see this as a factor.

What can you expect from us. Well the headline is we’re 10 games in 5 draws and 5 losses - but still no win. We really should have beaten Leicester last weekend, a shocking ref/VAR decision, that cost us a penalty to go ahead 2-0, and in the passage of play afterwards we lose Kalvin Phillips to a second yellow. But we switched off for their equaliser deep into injury time, two mistakes, and as we’re learning any errors at this level equals punishment.

The other headline is injuries. We have given good teams like Liverpool, Brighton and Villa testing games. But this had a lot to do with Axel Tuanzebe and Jacob Greaves in defence. The former a brilliant right back, who was Man Us next big thing till long term injury. These have proved costly.

We’ve actually given good accounts of ourselves in all games apart from West Ham away and Everton at home, where we failed to turn up.

The injuries and the loss of Phillips may prove decisive - the former Leeds/Man City is a bit mixed but when on it has made us look at the right level.

For me central midfield will be key, our Egyptian captain Morsy is good, but perhaps slow, and Phillips replacement Cajuste- Swedish international and ex Napoli player - will need to have a blinder, which he is capable of. Sadly we have further injuries in that department so bench lite.

Davis our left back is on the England fringes great lad, scored a wunder strike last weeekend. Good enough to contain your Johnson.

Axel is replaced at right back by former Hammer Ben Johnson, who’s been mixed, but again will need to play a blinder against Son. Could be an outlet for you.

I think you’ll have too much for us in terms of going forward and pace.

BUT, the one area of potential joy for the Blue (or pink as it’s the first outing of Sheeran 3rd kit) Army is up front - Hutchinson (ex-Chelsea, young, can’t believe they sold him) is real talent on right, as is Delap leading the line like a beast. Both are Premier Level. And I think a Romero and Delap ding dong is inevitable if your emotive centre back makes it. Szmodics has an eye for goal on left. And due to injury our talisman League One number 10 Chaplin will want to show he’s not a bit part player.

Will be a good game. But I think the Leicester late blow has knocked us.

May the best team win.
