Not much to say really... Away win!

A few additional points to fill out some space are as follows. Habib Beye is available after the kind gentlemen at the F.A. managed to sort out another fine Rob Styles mess on Thursday. There's talk of returns for Jonas and the reformed Barton, while there has been no fresh injuries reported, so the likes of Martins and Enrique are all in contention.

Owen is still at least a week away from returning from his groin strain which means the surprisingly impressive Ameobi is likely to feature again from the start. Andy Carroll's appearence last week suggests he is further up the pecking order than the Xisco kid and Gonzalez remains a mystery.

The nature of the two managers in charge intimate that this should be a tasty encounter, and with a whole lot more at stake all the ingredients are certainly there.
